ABC's Scott Admits Dems Don't Talk About Defund The Police Anymore
2022-04-19
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] During This Week’s "Powerhouse Roundtable" discussion on the soaring crime rates in major American cities and what should be done about it, there seemed to be agreement that the Democrats’ "defund the police" agenda is dead. Anchor George Stephanopoulos then turned to panelist and ABC congressional correspondent Rachel Scott and asked: "you don't hear defund the police too much on Capitol Hill, anymore?"

Scott confidently replied, "No, not at all, actually" and aside from the "handful of progressives over in the House" that want to defund the police, there hasn’t been a peep from Democrat politicians about that wildly unpopular agenda.

She also observed that both President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Joe's wife and daughter weren't killed by a drunk driver. He didn't graduate with three or even two degrees, wasn't in the top half of his law class, and his daddy didn't come home from a hard day's work in the mines and play football with the guys. The NAACP hasn't endorsed him every time he's run. On the other hand, he did abandon Afghanistan...
 and House Speaker Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. On-again-off-again Speaker of the House. It's not her fault when they lose, but it's her accomplishment when they win. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace and occasional senior... uhhh... moments...
 (D-CA) have admitted defunding the police isn’t a message they even believe, and "Majority Leader Chuck Schumer
...Senator-for-life from New York, renowned for his love of standing in front of cameras and microphones. Schumer has been a professional politician since 1975, when disco was in flower, which is 46.36754 years, or 324.57277999999997 years in dog years. Senate minority leader as of 2017...
 has come out and said this is not our message. This is not what we're campaigning on ahead of the midterms."

To make matters worse for the leftists who support defunding the police, Scott pointed out that even New York City "Mayor [Eric] Adams just pointed out there was funding within that Build Back Better plan to actually help coppers."

#3  At least ABC's Scott is semi-admitting DEMS did talk about Defund the police because a lot of DEMS are denying that despite footage of them doing so.

#2  Muriel Bowser denying that she was for defunding the police is hysterical. The pictures of her overlooking the pavement painted with “Defund The Police,” is sort of inconvenient. Not even the media Ministry of Truth can airbrush that one.
