Democrats don’t want to admit it publicly, but they are still the same party that tried to ‘Defund the Police’ a few years ago.
We know this because last week was National Police Week, and a Republican rep. from Iowa named Zach Nunn introduced a resolution to honor law enforcement officers. 173 Democrats voted against it. Every single Republican voted for it.
This would seem to indicate that the Democrats have not changed at all. How else can their behavior be interpreted?
FOX News reported:
173 House Democrats vote against resolution honoring police amid rising attacks
House Democrats split over a resolution backing law enforcement as assaults on officers surged last year.
Just 29 House Democrats on Wednesday voted for a GOP-authored measure paying tribute to the “extraordinary sacrifice” law enforcement officers make and criticizing the defund the police movement for jeopardizing public safety.
Meanwhile, 173 Democrats voted with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., against the resolution, while every GOP lawmaker present supported it.
“We want to take that best practice of respecting law enforcement in Iowa to the nation’s capital, and I was thrilled that we got bipartisan support,” Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, who introduced the measure, said in an interview with Fox News Digital.
But the Iowa Republican said he expected his resolution to receive unanimous backing.
“I think it unfortunately puts a real spotlight on a chasm we have between those who support law and order and those who are supporting those who undermine it,” Nunn said.
The vote comes as assaults against law enforcement officers climbed to a 10-year high last year, according to an FBI report released Monday. The number of officers killed saw a slight decrease between 2024 and 2025.
Zach Nunn put out this statement:
“It shouldn’t be controversial to stand with the men and women who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe,” said Rep. Nunn. “But from the ‘defund the police’ radicalism to sanctuary city policies that prevent cooperation with federal law enforcement, too many politicians have put ideology ahead of public safety — and Americans are paying the price. This Police Week, the House sent a clear message: we back the blue. I’m proud to have led that effort.”
This is all about the base. The Democrat base.
The far left, radical faction of the Democrat party is in charge and the House members who voted against this resolution are absolutely terrified of them.

Yes. The far left base has the power and the resources to mobilize.
We need to find and run MAGA red Donald Dems in ‘Rat primaries.
Until then we are fighting half a battle.
Then voters need to vote for MAGA, regardless of the letter after the name.
With enough MAGA votes in the Congress, party control is gone.
MAGA will fill the vacuum.
Disgusting...
No shocker there. Chaos is their platform
Because it’s not their brown shirt police comrads.
“Shocked, I tell you.”
32% of Democrats and 100% of Republicans supported the resolution.
Stark difference.
To run as a Democrat, you’d have to locate all the things that would rhyme or harmonize with motherhood, apple pie, John Philip Sousa and the Star-Spangled banner and embrace their opposite. You probably knew kids when you were growing up who embraced every craziness that would get them attention or shock ordinary people. Those kids grew up to become Democrats. They are going to grasp everything that is the opposite of righteous or good. Somehow along the way to physical maturity, they maintained a desire to not only shock by their opposing nature, but to force everyone else to adopt their views. Democrats have become our culture’s expression of mental illness made physical. So, not only will a first-grade teacher have sex with her students, but she’ll also put in on Facebook and join the “Youth Attracted” movement. Afterall, who are WE to say there’s anything wrong with that? If there is a MAGA Democrat, he’ll be a very lonely guy and unlikely to get any votes from his fellow Democrats.
Attend a Trump rally.
You’ll see a lot of us there. :-)
MAGA red Donald Dems are why Deep State has to steal elections.
These Dems should be forced to live in a skuncky part of Havana for 2 weeks, to adjust their attitudes.
Every day they do and say more things that drive decent Americans away. Keep yapping clowns. Keep walking down that gnarled little path you’re on.
Call the Congressman when you are in trouble
Anyone who still supports the Democrats has an evil and criminal heart, mind and soul.
Anyone.
Evil
The Pol Pot wing of the Democrat party.
That’s understandable; the Germans never celebrated July 4- they were our enemies in World War Eleven.
Every day the rodents show who they are and what they hate.
The only time Democrats tell the truth is when they are threatening us or insulting us.
Remember in November.
