Washington, D.C. – Debate over police-funding bills has stalled among House Democrats. Now they will work on a package to be voted on in August. Many were hoping to move away from the failed ‘defund the police’ movement that has left them looking soft-on-crime. But not Tim Ryan and Val Demings.
“Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team are facing an uproar from within the Democratic Caucus over plans to bring a package of police funding and gun control bills to the floor this week. The plan is in jeopardy as leadership struggles to unify rank-and-file House Democrats. Different factions within the caucus are jockeying for leverage as the House prepares to leave town for a scheduled six-week recess.” – Punchbowl
Where are Tim Ryan and Val Demings? Nowhere to be found. They may talk tough on the campaign trail, but when it counts, they’re M.I.A.
If Ryan and Demings claim to support law enforcement on the campaign trail, why won’t they act and speak up in Washington?
