White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki continued to promote her outrageous claim that Republicans are the ones who pushed for defunding the police yet, when pushed by a reporter on Wednesday, she was unable to name a single Republican who has ever championed defunding the police.

Psaki’s claim comes as Oakland, which is controlled by Democrats, voted this week to defund the police, and three Democratic lawmakers called for defunding the police this week.

“There are lots of examples of Democrats explicitly saying they want to defund the police,” the reporter said. “We’ve got Congresswoman Cori Bush, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar. Are there any examples of Republican members of Congress saying they want to defund the police?”

Psaki was unable to name a single Republican who has ever openly called for defunding the police.

How long will Peter Doocy keep his WH Press credentials? He's the only one that asks real questions and she clearly can't ever give a real answer to any of the questions he asks.

She was making the point that in actions, not words Republicans strip public funding, including the police. Is she incorrect?

If by that, you mean "lower taxes", then yes she is correct.

Bottom line is she can "spin" it any way she wants but the bottom line is is was far leftists that were pushing the "defund police" movement.

Yes, true, but the actual leftists in power have done nothing of the sort. It was all a sloganistic political beat up.

You must have missed Maxine Waters, numerous dem mayors and governors across the country, not to mention the phony VP Harris herself calling for the dismantling of police forces.

Okz, guffaw. Maxine whatever.

Kamala was pure political posturing. Are you suggesting she was intent on dismantling the police force? :rolleyes:

[Griffin]

She 100% supports any agenda she is told to.

You really gonna come in here saying we haven't heard what we have from those twats? GTFO

[lost in melb.]

Heard, yes, but not acted on. Would anyone with half a brain actually dismantle the police force?

(Ok, Maxine and Omar msybe - but you have space lasers on your side)

And the republican leadership rebuked that dumbass for that comment about the Jewish space lasers. Whereas the democrats have NEVER reprimanded Omar or Tliab or AOC for their racist and anti-Semitic comments.

Dude, get a clue. I know you're a smart guy. Read some real news about what the liberals have done in this country to the controlled cities, states, etc.

I know sometimes you're just poking the bear around here, but its hard to tell when you're joking at times.

Ok, my argument was a hard sell. I stand corrected.

They seem to be about-facing in some states though
