You are badly misinformed, again. Biden did pushback and now he's taking GOP morons attacking the FBI to task. You assholes don't like it when the tables are turned on you.
Tough shit.
And who is pushing back on these GOP ass-clowns?
Leading primary candidates in Florida and Ohio have called for the FBI agents involved to be arrested and promised to "abolish all unconstitutional three-letter agencies." Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has even begun selling "defund the FBI" merchandise.
How the GOP Helped Biden Turn the Tables on 'Defund the Police'
President Joe Biden has made continuous efforts to push back against the idea that he supports the "defund the police" movement, and now, the Republican response to the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago may have helped him bolster his image as a supporter of law enforcement.
Since the progressive idea got off the ground more than two years ago after the police killing of George Floyd, Biden has rejected calls to divest from law enforcement budgets. On Tuesday, Biden drove his message home in a passionate speech from Pennsylvania, pulling a page out of the Republican playbook to accuse the GOP of being soft on crime and abandoning their commitments to law and order.
"When it comes to public safety in this nation, the answer is not 'defund the police.' It's 'fund the police,'" the president said.
"I'm opposed to defunding the police—I'm also opposed to defunding the FBI," Biden added. "There is no place in this country, no place, for endangering the lives of law enforcement. No place. None, never, period."
Biden has long tried to distance the Democratic Party from calls from members of the progressive wing to defund the police. Two weeks after Floyd's death in Minneapolis, the then-presumptive Democratic presidential nominee told CBS, "I don't support defunding the police," adding that he supported federal aid to officers and agencies based on their ability to protect "everybody in the community."
A year after Biden successfully won the 2020 presidential election, he reaffirmed his stance during his State of the Union address, telling lawmakers, "We should all agree the answer is not to defund the police; it's to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them."
But it wasn't until the unfolding of events at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago home this month, alongside a tumultuous midterm cycle for the GOP, that Biden was able to launch an offensive attack on the Republicans.
Russell Fox, a professor of political science at Friends University, told Newsweek that some Republican voters have shifted away from the party amid the congressional hearings on the January 6 Capitol riot and the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Gregory Koger, the chair of University of Miami's political science department, added that Republican attacks on Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, particularly provisions that invest in enforcement of federal tax law, have also contributed to the idea that the GOP is no longer aligned with law enforcement.
Fox said that Biden's "emphasis on more and better police funding will exploit" the shift among Republican voters and paint "Trump Republicans as people who are so convinced of their righteousness that they can simply disregard the law."
"The Mar-a-Lago raid definitely, and the anti-FBI statements coming from leading Republicans, feeds into that impression," he said.
In response to the FBI search in Florida, Trump and his allies, which include congressional leaders, ignited calls to "defund" and "destroy" the federal law enforcement agency—statements that are contrary to their previous efforts to "back the blue."
Leading primary candidates in Florida and Ohio have called for the FBI agents involved to be arrested and promised to "abolish all unconstitutional three-letter agencies." Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene has even begun selling "defund the FBI" merchandise.
In the wake of these attacks on the FBI, threats against law enforcement officials, particularly the federal agency, have surged, reaching levels that haven't been seen in more than two decades, according to a report from USA Today.
The violent threats have drawn condemnation from FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
