White House press secretary Jen Psaki was questioned Wednesday over comments she made alleging Republicans want to “defund the police,” but she was unable to name a single GOP member who supported the controversial line.
Despite the rallying cry to “defund the police” used by Democrats like Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts, Psaki suggested that in not voting for the American Rescue plan – which included a provision for law enforcement – Republicans were the true opponents of police funding.
