the police. He doesn't even know who Cori Bush is.
My answer was to point out to him that not only was it NOT the Democratic Party's message, which our leader has said on multiple occasions he is not for defunding police, but that Republican's so called "police support" is fake, and hypocritical, as evidenced by their horrible treatment of the Capitol police in connection with the January 6 riots. I also told him that wedge issue lies like this are pushed 24/7 on Fox News to get him to vote against his own interests, like the 2017 tax cut for the rich that he got none of.
Once "defund the police" was said the first time it went into the Fox News 24 hour cycle of lies like everything else Fox lies about. So, whether Cori Bush says it or not, it's already there to stay, and every time they bring it up is an opportunity for our political candidates and PACs and Party members to point out the fakery and the hypocrisy of Republicans trying to use this lie against Democrats.
