So does J.D.’s plan to eliminate an agency that combats violent drug traffickers."No particular agency is identified, but the ad cites a Vance tweet from Feb. 1.
In that tweet, Vance wrote that he would"fight to abolish the ATF." That’s a reference to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, a"Tim Ryan knows defunding the police is ridiculous," Maier says. "He’s brought back $467 million to put good cops on the street."Vance, who is endorsed by former President Donald Trump, wants to get rid of one law enforcement agency, ATF, but he has not campaigned against defunding all law enforcement agencies.
