Fellow Conservative,

During his campaign, Joe Biden said funding should “absolutely” be redirected away from police departments.

Bowing to pressure from “defund the police” Democrats at the local level, more than 20 major cities reduced their police budgets. The result? More violent crime and communities left in shambles.

❌ Claimed it’s “outdated” and “wrongheaded” to think more police makes communities safer.

❌ Called for a lower police presence “to reimagine public safety.”

❌ Applauded Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti for defunding the police.

❌ Slandered police by agreeing they “just harass and take up space in poor communities.”

❌ Helped raise bail money for violent protesters in Minnesota supporting the “defund the police” movement.

Defunding the police is not the answer. We should instead increase transparency, accountability and performance.
