There *are* Dems in some places who cut police funding in 2020, but the federal Dem position (which drives activists crazy and feels like a betrayal) is to turn on the money gusher for cops. https://t.co/ibzRy6mUmV — PolitiTweet.org

One example in Wisconsin, where I am now: Gov. Evers vetoed a 2021 bill that would have punished counties if they defunded police. That got reconstituted in ads as Evers giving those counties the “green light” to defund police, which they haven’t been doing. — PolitiTweet.org

Anyway, it remains an effective attack for Rs because there are enough Ds who’ll get annoyed by this and say we should still defund police (like Cori Bush) to create more news cycles/infighting. — PolitiTweet.org
