Washington Post Knocks White House for ‘Slipshod’ Claim GOP Defunded Police
New York Post ^ | July 7, 2021 | Samuel Chamberlain

The Washington Post took a dim view of the Biden administration’s recent claims that Republicans support defunding police departments across America, with one of the paper’s fact-checkers slapping “Three Pinocchios” on the talking point Wednesday.

Top Democrats, including White House adviser Cedric Richmond and White House press secretary Jen Psaki, have claimed that the GOP turned their back on law enforcement by voting against the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan earlier this year. President Biden said last month that states and cities could use approximately $350 billion in aid from the law to combat rising crime, including by hiring more police officers.

“Although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything,” Salvador Rizzo wrote in a piece headlined: “The White House’s slipshod claim that Republicans are defunding the police”.

The Dems always accuse others of what they are actually doing.

Biden’s stupid illegitimate regime is so utterly terrible that all they can do is lie about everything.

The Washington Post realizes and always did, that Joe is a negative in the next elections both Congressional and Presidential due to his obvious mental deficiency. That is why Joe hid in the basement for a year. The democrats must get rid of Joe post haste but they also realize Kamala is an even greater disaster than Joe.

They need to get rid of both quickly. I do not know how they will do it? Jill Biden will be the real problem. She clings to the power like a lamprey eel as it gives her power. A lamprey attaches to its fish victim and literally sucks the life blood from the fish victim. The fish dies and the eel goes to its next victim.

I told everybody long before the election was stolen to watch “Dr” Jill.
To quote C. C. Colton “It is a mistake, that a lust for power is the mark of a great mind; for even the weakest have been captivated by it; and for minds of the highest order, it has no charms”.

You could easily see the LUST in Jill Biden’s eyes, the unquenchable thirst for the title of First Lady, knowing she would be the power behind the chair in the Oval Office.

As Tacitus said “Lust of power is the most is the most flagrant of all the passions”.

I truly believe that the election was stolen by FRAUD, and what we have now is a Party and people who will kill any who would stand in their way of keeping that power!

Unfortunately their KILLING will be deemed LEGAL BY THE COURTS!!!!

This Democrat lie about GOP voting to “defund the police” is ridiculous because the GOP voted against a bill which spent 1.9 trillion of our money. Of that 1.9 trillion, 15 percent was allocated to states and local government to do whatever they wanted (except reduce taxes of course). Of the NYC budget for example, of 100 billion, 5 billion is the operational budget for the police department. So if 5% of 15% of the money could go to police departments, the other 99 percent of the money would be going to the idiotic green new deal, free money for not working, million dollar pensions for retired government employees, etc. If the republicans have a 500 billion defense budget and put 5 dollars of that budget for gay immersion training, does that make someone who votes against the budget homophobic?

It is easy to be a Democrat because it requires no moral compass and only 2 brain cells.

No one voted to cut or defund anything.

Very old democrat scam if the republicans don’t vote for something they call it a cut.
The slow thinkers always take the bait with the help of the media.
