The White House is accusing Republicans of working to 'defund the police' and the FBI, and instead, supporting the 'gun lobby' over the fight against gun crime by opposing Democrat-backed legislation.
Progressive Democrats in 2020 pushed the"defund the police" message after George Floyd died in police custody.
However, the White House’s comments come as crime is on the rise in major cities, and as Republicans are seizing on the issue ahead of the midterm elections. Republicans say Democrats across the nation are soft on crime, and are focusing their messaging on public safety and through a pro-law enforcement lens.
