Will the Democrats Leverage the GOP’s calls to “Defund the FBI” for the Midterms?
Political News
Multiple prominent Republican figures have been calling to defund the police after the raid of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home. Many people have found that such calls appear to be contradicting the normal calls of defending the United States and its “law and order” and backing police officers. Levels of threats against law enforcement, the FBI specifically, haven’t reached this point since the 1990s.
The Democrats have taken advantage of such a situation with just 80 days left before the midterm elections in November. The “defund the police” slogan was dragged in political campaigns against the Democrats previously. Republicans would claim that those on the left were just “soft on crime.” However, now the Democrats have turned it around and the call to “defund the FBI” shows the Republican extremes of “ultra-MAGA.”
