WaPo debunks Dems defund the police attacks

July 7, 2021

The Washington Post gave Democrats three Pinocchios for falsely claiming it’s actually Republicans who are working to defund the police.

“Although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything.”

“We often fact-check claims in which huge spending bills are reduced to one cherry-picked expense out of thousands. In this case, there’s not even a line item to attach to the White House’s claim that Republicans are trying to defund the police.”
