Joe Biden’s doubletalk on ‘Defund the Police’
New York Post ^ | August 9, 2020 | Post Editorial Board

...

In a statement last month, his folks insisted: “Biden does not believe that police should be defunded.”

Later, though, asked if money should be “redirected” away from cops, he replied, “Yes, absolutely.” And the charter for his alliance with Bernie Sanders vows to “reinvigorate community policing . . . and make smart investments to incentivize departments to build effective partnerships with social workers and mental-health and substance-use counselors” — which aligns with the #Defunders’ goals.

Yet, then on Wednesday, as a poll showed 81 percent of blacks want as much, or more, police presence, Biden — lo and behold! — called for more funding for cops, to handle the “God-awful problems” they face.

None of these statements was a gaffe. It’s just that even on a subject as vital as cops, Biden wants it both ways. Who knows where he really stands?

Not only is Joe Biden a wanker, he is a demented wanker. And yet 60 million people will vote for him.

How long are we supposed to keep up this supposition that Joe Biden has any coherent policy ideas or beliefs at this point? The guy can barely string a sentence together and I’m honestly not certain how accurately he would answer if unexpectedly asked what office he was running for during an interview.

What the Post is actually reporting on is confusion and a lack of coordination amongst Biden’s handlers. Whatever position Joe himself might have once held on defunding the police, he has already forgotten it.

Wrong Post. The NY Post is usually OK (as was the Washington Times, if they are still in business).
Its their evil twins that spew DNC propaganda non-stop: the Washington Post, and NY Times.

“The NY Post is usually OK”

I agree that the NY Post is an actual news reporting organization, as opposed to the Washington Post which is such garbage propaganda that training a puppy with it would be an insult to dog sh*t.

I’m just hoping that at some point organizations like the NY Post will start framing their reports in terms of what Biden’s handlers think, what they tweeted, what their latest position is etc...

A couple of months ago Joe said he was running for the US Senate.

Biden has to keep out of sight as much as he can... and avoid questions...avoid debates.. avoid press conferences .. and hope no one asks or demands answers for all he did in China.. with Russia and with hillary and obama..

Hope all the dirt and wrong doings he did as VP.. hope it does not come out before the election...

He thinks Trump will not mention any of it?

None of these statements was a gaffe. It’s just that even on a subject as vital as cops, Biden wants it both ways. Who knows where he really stands?

The party of the KKK and Jim Crow has figured out 2 new ways to legally kill blacks:

1. Defund the police:

Thanks to “defund the police” and the Democrat blue cities going along with it, violent crime including black bhomicide is surging in most of America’s largest cities. While the raw numbers are terrible for Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and other very large cities, it’s Austin, Texas, that’s leading by percentage-increase year over year!

2. Allow large BLM protests in blue cities, like the upcoming one in DC, coordinated by their long time Over Seer, Al Sharpton.

This gives the corrupt liberal elite press the option of quoting Biden on whichever position turns out to be popular.
