Earlier today at the White House press briefing, Jen Psaki dialed the gaslighting up to eleven while claiming that the Republicans are the ones who aren’t standing up (and fully funding) police departments around the country. After that, the White House rapid response director doubled down on Psaki’s laughable claim. Additionally, Democrat Sen. Mazie Hirono said this:

In a related story, the Oakland, Calif. City Council must be full of Republicans:
BREAKING: Oakland City Council votes to defund their police department by another $18.4 million.
Homicides increased 314% in 2020 after a previous budget cut of $14.3 million.

The Oakland City Council approved the president’s budget amendments, taking $17 million away from police and investing that money into social services instead. https://t.co/b5Ffbe7IKE

Alert the Biden White House and other Democrats to what all those Republicans on the Oakland City Council have done!
But @maziehirono and @PressSec said that Republicans wanted to defund the police….

Just look at all these Republicans:
The “actually it’s Republicans who don’t support the police” is 100 percent pure gaslighting from the Biden White House.
And of course it isn’t just Oakland:
The following cities actually defunded their police:
NYC
L.A.
Chicago
Seattle
Milwaukee
Philadelphia
Baltimore
Austin
San Francisco
Salt Lake City
Portland
Hartford
AtlantaName which ones are run by Republicans… since "Republicans are who defunded the police."
