“MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police departments” – claims Joe Biden
President Biden releases his Budget for Fiscal Year 2024 and delivers remarks on his plans to invest in America, continue to lower costs for families, protect and strengthen Social Security and Medicare, reduce the deficit, and more. He claimed that “MAGA Republicans are calling for defunding the police departments” and also want to defund the FBI. Biden was discussing his law enforcement plan when he made the claim against Republicans.
However, Republicans typically support the police departments but not so much the FBI. The Republicans are not happy with how the FBI has handled many things in the past, but I don’t recall seeing many Republicans talking about police officers other than hoping they get more funding, more support, and freedom to do their job without facing the fears they’ll get in trouble at work.
