The movement to “defund the police” is gaining momentum among Democrats as retaliation for police brutality. This unrealistic idea was once solely existent on the outskirts of the Democratic Party, among the fringe, far-left, but is not the first of its kind. A substantial amount of Democrats favor abolishing Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) in order to prevent a crackdown on illegal immigration, while also villifying border patrol for enforcing the law of the land.
The idea of abolishing or cutting funding to ICE would not resonate with voters in battleground states, as it represents a public safety issue, especially in states like Arizona. While Arizona Senate hopeful Mark Kelly has not endorsed “abolishing” ICE or stripping funding, the Arizona Democrat was visibly hostile toward a border patrol agent, per a first hand account from Art Del Cueto, the vice president and spokesperson for National Border Patrol Council and an agent in Tucson’s sector. Del Cueto recounted his experience with Kelly in a recent radio interview:

One would think someone whose wife was maimed for life by a nut would support police of any type, but then he is now a star due to his ghoulish use of his disabled wife.
I really hope he does not get elected. He would be an absolute disgrace. I can’t understand how the Zonies can even think of electing him.
Martha McSally is such a bad candidate.
Kelly is running feel good commercials that don’t mention current issues or what party he belongs to. The NRSC is finally starting to run ads hitting his China ties.
Yup. On the bright side, mark will try to take away our gun righ........ Hey, wait a minute.
Both Senate seats are up in 2 years (because of McBeer’s death)
We don’t have much of a choice. It’s either Kelly or McSally and I certainly would never vote for Kelly.
AZ is becoming more liberal and nothing would surprise me.
And remember that Mark Kelly is profoundly and ignorantly anti-gun, and trying to show how “easy” it was to buy an AR-15, went into a gun store to discover that it wasn’t easy.
But then, gun in hand, when asked why he, a confirmed anti-gun radical, wanted to own the gun, he said he didn’t want it so was just going to give it away or something.
A federally unlawful straw purchase.
He’s such a space cadet
I don’t much like McSally, but I sure don’t want Uncle Fester for my senator.
