Newsweek’s headline announced that Republicans “bashed” the “Defund the Police” movement, but Touchberry added “pounced” in the first paragraph:

Republicans pounced at the opportunity to publicly decry the “Defund the Police” movement on Wednesday during a congressional hearing on police brutality and reform, a proceeding that featured the brother of George Floyd as one of its witnesses.

“It is pure insanity,” said Representative Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), ranking member of the Judiciary Committee.

“Radical” and “dangerous proposal,” is how Representative Mike Johnson (R-La.) described the idea of defunding law enforcement agencies.

Well … what did Democrats do? Their nominee, Joe Biden, has said he opposes defunding the police — where do they stand?

Defunding the police is a stupid idea and it’s a good thing that Republicans pounced on it, considering Democrats can’t even define what “defund” means.
