Democrats lost a good number of seats in the 2020 election due to this idiotic slogan. "Defund the Police: is a stupid slogan and Speaker Pelosi is correct in calling out this slogan.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made clear that “defund the police” is not the position of the Democratic party, amid a renewed push from a prominent Democratic congresswoman.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week Sunday, host George Stephanopoulos confronted the speaker about comments from Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who affirmed her support for the slogan “defund the police” earlier this week, and claimed to be feeling pressure from Democratic colleagues to change her rhetoric.

“‘Defund the police’ is not the problem,” Bush said, in comments reported by Axios and others. “We dangled the carrot in front of people’s faces and said we can get it done and that Democrats deliver, when we haven’t totally delivered.”

Bush added, “I always tell [fellow Democrats], ‘If you all had fixed this before I got here, I wouldn’t have to say these things.'”
