An Inebriated Looking Joe Biden Proclaims Trump Wants to ‘Defund the Police’

I guess we are going to just go full alter-reality as we approach November. That’s apparently Joe Biden’s plan to combat the charge that he wants to defund the police. And to be sure, Biden has proposed redirecting money (i.e. defunding) and “reimagining” how policing happens.

But when asked about his position, Biden mumbled his way through his talking points proclaiming that it’s actually Trump who wants to defund the police.

You are gonna be shocked to learn that Biden’s contention is misleading nonsense. Trump has not called for, nor does he support “defunding the police.” What is actually being referred to is a budget issue regarding the COPS program, which is a grant initiative for “community policing.” To the extent that you think such programs are effective, they are not the direct funding for police departments.
