Amish Shah Campaigns With Defund The Police Group Today
Today, socialist Amish Shah will hold a closed-door campaign event with an extreme liberal group that explicitly called to defund the police repeatedly.
The group publicly supported “defunding the police” and encouraged followers to donate to funds to bail out criminals during the 2020 riots.
Today, Shah must answer: Why are you campaigning with a group that repeatedly called for defunding the police?
“While Valley families worry about crime, socialist Amish Shah is campaigning with extreme liberals who demanded to defund the police. Socialist Shah doubled down on his long record of voting against police funding, against public safety and against protecting kids.” – NRCC Spokesperson Ben Petersen
Background:
Socialist Shah’s event reinforces his own radical anti-police, anti-public safety record:
