Biden says Trump seeks to 'defund the police' -- through proposed cuts
Fox News ^ | 8/23/2020 | Brie Stimson

President Trump is the one who wants to “defund the police,” Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden asserted during an interview Friday.

"I don't want to defund police departments. I think they need more help, they need more assistance,” Biden told ABC News for a wide-ranging interview airing Sunday that also includes Biden's running mate, U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif.

Biden accused the president of proposing cuts to programs that support local police, in sharp contrast to the Republican incumbent's campaign-trail rhetoric.

Harris also stressed that voters should watch the president's actions rather than listen to his words.

"There is so much about what comes out of Donald Trump's mouth that is designed to distract the American people from what he is doing," Harris told ABC.

I don’t think they’re even proposed cuts. It’s the old Democrat trick of proposing a huge amount and calling anything less - even increases in a budget - a cut.

Sounds like the sort of thing the Democrats would say if they were really confident.

They start articles accusing Trump with no evidence whatsoever.

Make it up, and rush to the Cameras.

How the heck are they going to thread the needle for Joe to win? He and/or his campaign is speaking out of both sides of his mouth on this and other issues.

Don't ascribe to dementia what can be attributed to pathological lying. The latter is his lifelong pattern.

Wait?

Wasn’t Joe for defunding the police before he was against it?

Inverting the argument is not necessarily a sign of dementia, but it is a sign of projection and blatant hypocrisy. Of course, The Won may be confusing two words that are remarkably similar in spelling, “defund” versus “defend”.

Pssssst Joe, you may want to have a word with the Dem mayors of Seattle Minnesota New York City etc.
DeBlasio has already cut police funding by a massive $1 billion in New York City and shootings and homicides have already skyrocketed.
Didn't hear O’Biden condemn DeBlasio for his rabid anti police jihad.
The only guy who called out DeBlasio was one President Trump.

Trump wants to get rid of the police so bad, he has sent in
federal agents to do the work the police have been banned
from doing.

I’m going to have to stop abusing Joe. I’m beginning to
feel like a member of his family.
