Joe Biden claimed that he never supported “defunding the police” and said “the only person calling to defund the police is Donald Trump.” The former vice president was put on the spot about his past remarks. Well, this was one of Biden’s gaffes that angered patriotic Americans, and they torched him. You’ll love this.
Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden said in a TV interview on Tuesday that the only person seeking to defund the police is President Donald Trump.
Biden made the remark as he attempted to deflect a question about his call to “redirect” funding away from police agencies.

“I not only don’t want to defund the police, I’m the one calling for $300 billion — million more for local police, for community policing,” Biden told the news station.
He accused Trump of attempting to cut $400 million from “state and local help.”
A Breitbart News Fact Check from July found Biden’s repeated claim to be “false.”
Biden’s handlers are deceiving the American people by twisting the Trump administration’s proposed $244 million cut from the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP), which assists state and local agencies with detaining illegal aliens who commit crimes.
Instead, Trump wants to use that money for border enforcement instead, shifting resources closer to the problem.
Biden claims his plans include bringing on “social workers and psychologists” to the police force to “deal with 911 calls.” This means he would defund many of the police officers’ jobs to add these civilian contractors who shouldn’t be handling dangerous 911 calls.
It’s straight from the Black Lives Matter playbook.
Biden’s claims are blunted by the numerous police agencies that have endorsed Trump for reelection.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) — the nation’s largest cops’ union — announced Friday that it was backing the Republican incumbent.
Americans torched Biden and his campaign on social media.
“JOE BIDEN IS A SCUMBAG OF THE HIGHEST ORDER AND A F*CKING LIAR!” tweeted “iammix.”

“I’m the one calling for $300M more for local police, for community policing … The only person calling to defund the police is Donald Trump. Look at his budget. He calls for cutting police funding for local — state and local help by $400 million. Once again, he’s pathological,” tweeted Tom Elliot.

“The last 3 months of rioting in Democrat run cities, supported by @JoeBiden hasn’t been about defunding the police? He backed & bailed out thousands of rioters chanting ‘Defund the police,'” tweeted Tara LaRosa.

“Biden, like every Dem when he tries to put Trump down, is closer to describing himself. Joe isn’t just slow in manner and laughably dishonest; he’s a fool to lie so transparently,” tweeted Philip Schuyler.

Biden’s claim about the president’s plans to “defund the police” is so ridiculous when you also consider law enforcement organizations across the country all support Trump.
“Public safety will undoubtedly be a main focus for voters in this year’s election,” President of the National Fraternal Order of Police Patrick Yoes said in a news release.
“Look at what the national discourse has focused on for the last six months. President Trump has shown time after time that he supports our law enforcement officers and understands the issues our members face every day. The FOP is proud to endorse a candidate who calls for law and order across our nation. He has the full and enthusiastic support of the FOP.”
The union said it surveyed 355,000 members before the endorsement.
“During his first four years, President Trump has made it crystal clear that he has our backs,” Yoes said. “Our members know that he listens to the concerns of our brothers and sisters in uniform and is able to make tough decisions on the issues most important to law enforcement. President Trump is committed to keeping our communities and families safe.”
The Biden campaign and their cohorts are so desperate for a scandal to hurt Trump. The only problem is Trump is the most vetted candidate we have ever had. So, they have to lie and resort to recycling old scandals.
We all saw this with the latest scandal from The Atlantic who revived a two-year-old “anonymous source” news piece claiming Trump did not want to visit a military cemetery in France.
That’s all these shysters and scammers have left. Get ready as Biden and his handlers put out some of the most disgusting lies from the past, and remember this is exactly how power-seeking swamp creatures act.
