Washington, D.C. – As the House returns this Friday to vote on the Democrats’ tax-and-spend bill, one item seems to be missing from the agenda: a series of bills to boost police funding.
Several House Democrats have been sounding the alarm on the need to increase police funding to save the Democrats’ anti-law enforcement image. But Speaker Pelosi and House Democrat leadership are still cowering to progressives and the radical Left wing of their party by keeping those types of bills off the table.
“But Speaker Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leaders are unlikely to move ahead with a series of bills to boost police funding, according to lawmakers and aides.
While vulnerable Frontliners and Democratic moderates are pressing the leadership for a floor vote on these measures, opposition from progressives and the Congressional Black Caucus has derailed this effort.” – Punchbowl
Senate hopefuls Florida Congresswoman Val Demings and Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan must have missed the memo because they’re still silent. On the campaign trail, Demings and Ryan claim their support the police, but when they’re in Washington they just follow the lead of the Squad and radical defund the police liberals.
But we won’t hold our breath. Demings and Ryan are hypocrites who will do and say anything to stay in the good graces of their party’s leadership in order to gain a promotion.
