Craig says Biden should support law enforcement?

Angie Craig wrote an op-ed in the Star Tribune arguing that Joe Biden should “acknowledge the rise in crime in our communities, and work to support law enforcement.”

Maybe Craig should start with her own office.

Last week it was reported Craig’s top district staffer:

• Backed the movement to defund police in a June 2020 tweet.
• Shared a report on police-involved deaths in New York with the caption “Burn. It. All. Down.” 
• Downplayed the literal burning down of a police station in Minneapolis, arguing that if the station was replaced with a health care clinic or library.
• Encouraged her followers to contribute to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, a radical nonprofit that supports defunding police and works to free heinous criminals, including an alleged child rapist and an accused domestic abuser who was arrested for murder just weeks after his release.
