a new spin on defunding the police the
white house now blaming get this
republicans for defunding because they
voted against the president's nearly two
trillion dollar american rescue plan
which now seems to have morphed into a
crime-fighting bill
our own peter ducey press jinsaki on all
of that
something one of the advisors said this
weekend cedric richmond he said
republicans defunded the police by not
supporting the american rescue plan but
how is it that that is an argument to be
made when the president never mentioned
needing money for police to stop a crime
wave when he was selling the american
rescue plan well the president did
mention
that the american rescue plan the state
and local funding something that was
supported by the president
a lot of democrats who supported and
voted for the bill
could help ensure local cops were kept
on the beat in communities across the
country
as you know didn't receive a single
republican vote
now a bit of history on the defund the
police movement which sparked protests
that sometimes turned violent last year
and we want to remind you just which
party was pushing
the message i'll remind you dave rubin
the person pushing the message was vice
president kamala harris who
praised eric garcetti and los angeles
for defunding the police i'll also
remind you it was
democrats in portland that cut 15
million dollars it was democrats in new
york that cut one billion dollars
democrats in oakland just last week
that cut 18 million i could say the same
for portland and other blue
jurisdictions
yeah you know one of the quotes that i
often read on my show
actually almost every day at this point
thanks to jen posaki is from
alexander suljanitson who of course
wrote the gulag archipelago
and he said they know they're lying we
know they're lying
they know that we know that they're
lying and they continue to lie
and kaylee as a former white house press
secretary yourself
you know you know exactly when you have
certain information
and you have to process it and get it to
the media in a certain way but i
never once i'll give you credit right
here i never once saw you brazenly lie
the way jen pasaki is and she knows that
no network or major news outlet
corporate press of the new york times
washington post or anything else
is going to call them out on it let's
not forget that only something like 60
days into the biden administration
the washington post said they're not
going to be doing their fact checks on
this administration anymore
meanwhile if you or president trump or
virtually any republican conservative
says anything then they run with this
for days so she knows she can lie
because basically it's only fox news and
then some guys like me online
that will talk about this stuff but of
course it was the democrats and by the
way
you can see plenty of tweets from
rashida talib and ilhan omar and many
others of the progre you know the
progressive caucus
whatever you want to call them at this
point where they were actually calling
for defunding to the police so it's an
absolute lie and it should be viewed as
such yeah it is on camera yeah
it's a brazen lie and one that they
tested on sunday when they sent cedric
richmond out onto the sunday shows to
try it they double down on it with jen
saki
this comes as the white house is
shifting their strategy kennedy we know
biden finally gave an address on crime
last week and gensake also tried to
blame president trump
for the increase in crime in this
country they're seeing the polling
they are saying the polling but they're
also not asking why
is crime on the rise and that's a
critical issue
that should be asked outside of party
affiliation that's really important to
keep people
safe and their well-being is
a lot more important than who's going to
win the house and senate
in the midterms you want to make sure in
these cities where
and let's say there was federal funding
that went to cities and states
who's to say that those activist city
councils were going to use it to refund
the police departments
that they voted to divert money away
from and i'm talking about seattle and
portland and minneapolis and some of the
other cities
that you have talked about so if
republicans are the ones defunding the
police does that mean ilhan omar
and jamal bowman are now republicans
jamal bauman was the one who was asking
for extra police presence
at his house in yonkers and and he gets
maya wiley who's running for mayor of
new york city who talked about taking
guns away from nypd officers
she has 24-hour uh police protection
harris so
democrats don't want to defund the
police except three days after
the election there was a democrat
conference call that
exploded a three-hour long conference
call where centrist members if you want
to label them as such
were chewing out other members for
wanting to defund the police
they know they have this problem so it
defies credibility to suggest that they
don't
what i call it is demondem political
crime
pointing you know fingers and water guns
at each other i want to point out though
what jinsaki said
she said our plan allowed state and
local governments to replenish their
police departments
she said at the podium this could help
ensure local police were funded could
and allowed
it didn't mandate that plan did not say
municipalities have to use
the money for that and if we know that
on balance it's democrat-led cities
and they are defunding many of them
north of 20 now
why in the world would anybody believe
the words that she's saying that those
cities
would actually put money back in the
coffers for police no they're going to
continue with what they're doing
and yeah the plan that that republicans
voted against would allow
that they could but that's not the same
as you have to do this in order to get
the money
great point right and just a reminder
that you know the oakland police chief
there called it a crisis
as he was in tears in front of cameras
as he was dealing with a murder of a
young man there on the streets and a
woman yelled out a window do something
he said i can't i have no resources
crisis was also the word used by the
police chief in seattle
and the deputy mayor there we are seeing
a pattern the erosion of funds to police
officers the erosion
of the police officer ranks and the
erosion of safety and that's on
democrats
not republicans i went to brian kilmeade
