Chris Wallace Presses GOP Rep. On Claim That Republicans Defunded Police
2021-06-29
[DAILYCALLER] On "Fox News Sunday," Fox News anchor Chris Wallace repeatedly asked Republican Indiana Rep. Jim Banks if Republicans are responsible for defunding the police.

Wallace said that Banks and the GOP voted against the $350 billion in President Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. Old, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
’s American Rescue Plan that funds coppers, in turn asking if he and all the other Republicans that voted against the bill voted to defund the police. Wallace’s question came in response to his earlier guest, White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond, who made the claim that Republicans were indeed responsible.

Banks did not address Wallace’s question and instead explained how police forces are having a hard time recruiting new officers due to language from the Democrats.

Wallace asked, "Can’t you make the argument that it’s you and the Republicans who are defunding the police?"

"Not at all, Chris," Banks replied. "I mean let’s go back again and look at the last year and the record of comments that Democrats have made from Rashida Tlaib who said that policing is inherently evil."

"No, no, no," Wallace interjected. "Wait, sir, respectfully. Wait, wait, sir. Respectfully. I heard you make that point but I’m asking you, there’s $350 billion in this package the president says can be used for policing and I — let me put up some of the specific points he said."

#1  I watched that. Wallace repeatedly interupted him. The money in the bill they are talking about was never meant to be used to give cities that had defunded their police. It is only now being claimed that's what it is for. The Democrats are now claiming those cities defunded their police because of covid. THE BALD-Faced lying is amazing.
