Biden Urges Dems to Conceal Their Defund-the-Police Agenda Until After Georgia Runoffs

News & Politics

In a recording leaked to The Intercept, former Vice President Biden appeared to blame the “defund the police” movement for the Democrats’ shellacking down-ballot in the 2020 elections, and urged liberal civil rights leaders not to put public pressure on his incoming administration regarding police reform until after the Georgia Senate runoff elections in January.

“I also don’t think we should get too far ahead ourselves on dealing with police reform in that, because they’ve already labeled as being ‘defund the police’ anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing — which I promise you, will occur. Promise you.”

Biden can be heard telling left-wing civil rights leaders in the recording, “Just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5, because that’s how they beat the living hell out of us across the country… I just raise it with you to think about. How much do we push between now and January 5—we need those two seats— about police reform? But I guarantee you there will be a full-blown commission. I guarantee you it’s a major, major, major element…we can go very far.”

Successful efforts to defund the police at the local have resulted in disasters nationwide. But Joe Biden himself has publicly expressed support for defunding the police. During an interview with activist Ady Barkan, Biden said, “Yes, absolutely,” when asked if they both could agree that “we can redirect some of the [police] funding?”

Biden’s defenders have claimed that partially defunding the police isn’t the same as “defund the police,” but many have actually argued that “defunding the police” doesn’t mean fully defunding or abolishing police. In fact, the liberal Brookings Institute says that “‘Defund the police’ means reallocating or redirecting funding away from the police department to other government agencies funded by the local municipality. That’s it. It’s that simple. Defund does not mean abolish policing.”

In short, Biden’s position on police funding is in line with the mainstream definition of “defund the police,” a position Biden acknowledges cost the Democrats significantly during the 2020 elections, and will cost them dearly in the Georgia Senate runoffs if left-wing influencers publicly make police reform (Biden’s euphemism for defunding the police) an issue before then.

This could actually be a serious liability for Democrats in Georgia. Democrat candidate Jon Ossoff, while not directly stating that he supported defunding the police, said that he favors “reforming and demilitarizing” policing in America, and said that funding for certain police departments should be “on the line.”

Raphael Warnock, the other Democrat running for the U.S. Senate in Georgia, has compared police to gangsters and thugs acting “like bullies on the street.”

Joe Biden knows that “defunding the police” is a poison pill for Democrats’ hopes of winning the majority in the Senate. Hopefully, the GOP knows this, too.

  1. It is a shame that so many people are willing to accept and eat the crap sandwiches that the democrat/communist party aka Joe Bite Me, Kamala Harris, Nancy Pelousi, Chuck you Schumer, Adam Shiftless etc. hand out on a daily basis. True conservatives will refuse and throw it back at them.

    1. Just call the dems what they really are (satan worshipping DEMONcrats) there is not one member of that party that is honest or loyal to this country, ALL OF THEM HAVE VIOLATED THEIR OATHS OF OFFICE. The dems have proven themselves to be under the control of satan and his minions.

      1. Bandit – now now it isn’t ‘fair’ to say ‘all’ of them, there are likely one or two that are still red blooded Americans – not red commies. Of course none of them will admit it since the ‘party’ would treat them as lepers. We will never know who they are since they will be as elusive as the mythical straight barista in san fransicko…………………….

    2. conservatives will not throw it back at them the few that try will be dealt with accordingly and they will keep it up until everyone falls in line with what they want. I hope and pray you are right but with everything going on its hard to believe. Look at other socialist countries and how they dominate the people. People keep saying it can’t happen here, look around its already happening.

  2. Nothing new here ,this is what they do, LIE!!
    I hope they defund the police. I hate to see police officers lose their jobs but at the same time I wouldn’t mind Martial Law. If there is no police I figure I could go out on Tuesdays an Thursdays and be Judge & Jury…..
    This has to be the dumbest conversation in America. If people didn’t do bad things we wouldn’t need law an order. If people didn’t put themselves in bad situations an break the law most police brutality cases wouldn’t exist. It just blows me away how a criminal commits a crime, doesn’t do what police ask, then physically fights w/police an in one case steals an officer’s taser , the criminal is killed as this is happening. That’s the police officers fault. He should’ve shot him in the leg?????
    WTF?
    People in this country are ridiculous and don’t understand the true meaning of freedom.

  3. Shows just how stupid they are getting . Wait till you need a police men and a delusional democrat shows up in stead . Remember this , it’s the delusional democrats that will be robbing you . they don’t want the police around . So that delusional democrat that shows up may be the same delusional democrat that robed you . You cant make this stupid shit up . This is the new delusional democrat party that wants to take control of our country . The same ones that let their pets burn our citys , loot our business and kill our kids for their cause . And still some vote for them to run our country . Then some of us had our vote stolen so biden can win the election . You really think their the ones to run our country ??? We’re you hit on the back of your head with a big rock and now don’t know any better ??? How stupid do you have to be to want the delusional democrats running the country . They weren’t smart enough to hide the voters fraud and didn’t care if you saw it . No one seems to care about their corruption in our government . Even trump could of stopped this but didn’t . All for votes , while the delusional democrats did everything they could to get votes , legally or not . So we are where , we are . Who’s to blame for that . The bottom line is … WE NEED THE POLICE
