FW: When will O’Halleran take calls to defund the police seriously?

April 13, 2021

Last night, Congresswoman Rashida Talib took to Twitter calling for “no more policing, incarceration, and militarization.”  

Today, the NRCC sent releases like the below to the districts of vulnerable Democrats asking for their response to Talib’s insane comments. 

No surprise that not a single Democrat will defend the police. 

Maloney’s anti-law enforcement agenda trickles down

“no more policing,” Spanberger?

DeFazio belongs to the party of “no more policing”

Does Slotkin support abolishing the police and freeing criminals?

Is Stevens still against calls to ‘defund’ the police?

Does Bustos support abolishing the police and freeing criminals?

When will O’Halleran take calls to defund the police seriously?


Hey there –  

Tom O’Halleran has said in the past that “nobody is considering defunding the police.”

So what does he have to say now that his colleague Rashida Talib is calling for “no more policing, incarceration, and militarization?”   

Based on House Democrats’ own standards, every House Democrat agrees with Tlaib’s views unless they disavow her position, vote to strip her of her committee assignments and introduce a resolution expelling her from Congress. 

This isn’t the first time one of Tom’s colleagues has made calls to defund the police.

When will former police officer Tom O’Halleran finally stand up for law enforcement and back the blue?
