Biden says Trump seeks to 'defund the police' -- through proposed cuts

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 wan them to be over confidant, that is good for us

Let them think they have it all in the bag

How the hell is he going to defund the police when local agencies decide that? Is Trump responsible for DeBlasio, AOC and the NYC city council deciding to defund the NYPD??

There are times when “I know you are but what am I?” will work. Accusing Trump of wanting to defund police isn’t going to work.

Trump does not get worked up about spending when interest rates are low, and he’s perceived as a law and order guy. Biden is ... well Biden.

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.

Baseline budgeting.

ANTIFA, BLM, start wearing MAGA hats! He will de-fund the police! Biden, Whore won’t do it.

Considering how many people Jim Crow Joe has abused over the years I don’t feel bad about it at all! :)

Print this up and get this out there in your precincts

There seems to be a refusal in certain political circles known as the Swamp to blame the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) for deliberately using the Wuhan virus to create an economy here which would prevent Trump get reelected. Letting that happen will create problems we don’t need. Time we point out the loss of employment and the corruption involved.

I’m sure the local police departments ALL OVER the country will appreciate the consent decrees imposed on them by a Biden Harris DOJ when there are complaints of “implicit bias” among their ranks. That’s what they can expect.

Joe Birdbrain once again proves he is a birdbrain.

He’s probably referring to the Obama program that had police let felon minors get off, the one that let the Parkland shooter do what he did.

Joe and Ho have said time and again that they want to “redirect” money from cops to criminals.

I agree with you, but I was being sarcastic (ironic) in my original comment.

If Biden is now trying to make the case that PDJT wants to "defund the police," something that he (Biden) himself agreed with a few weeks ago before it became crystal clear that it's an extremely unpopular view among voters, that only shows that he's now trying to run away from the position while at the same time trying to pin it on PDJT, which is a level of projection and sleezeballery that's impressive even for a Democrat.
