WaPo gives White House ‘Three Pinocchios’ for claiming Republicans are defunding police

FOX:

The Washington Post’s Fact-Checker dinged the White House for claiming Republicans were “defunding the police,” giving the eyebrow-raising talking point “Three Pinocchios.”

Recent remarks by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and senior Biden adviser Cedric Richmond had sought to turn the tables on months of some progressive Democrats advocating for slicing or even dismantling municipal police department budgets. Their logic was GOP opposition to the $1.9-trillion coronavirus relief bill passed this year amounted to supporting defunding police, since $350 billion was allocated for state and local government aid.

“Although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That’s not a reduction,” the Post’s Glenn Kessler wrote. more

  1. Screw the democrats bailing out failed blue states. I’m so sick of the least competent mismanaged assholes being rewarded. It’s the democrat way and if you disagree with it the democrats blame you for interrupting their “solutions.” As Kamala said, let’s address the root causes. Ohh, well the root causes suddenly are republicans blocking funds that are used to reward failure. What an absolute crock of shit.

    Speaking of which, what a PITA it was to opt out of Joe’s monthly child tax credit. Not only did I have to jump thru all the hoops, but my wife had to do the same thing otherwise we’d still receive half of the credit. Suddenly “married filing jointly” doesn’t mean what it used to. I read somewhere we need to opt out every single month too. Because Joe is determined to lift us out of poverty so it’s imperative we take the money. Fuuuckkkk offfff…

  2. Once again, Democrats lying. And once again, Democrats caught lying.

    Good thing they are getting better at this voter fraud system, or their party would be in real trouble.
