AOC Pushes Back On Senate Dem Who Mocked ‘Defund The Police.’ Ted Cruz Weighs In: ‘This Is All Theatre’

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) pushed back against Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) on Thursday afternoon for comments he made about the “defund the police” movement in a tweet on Wednesday evening. 

Manchin, one of the most right-leaning Democrats in the senate, had remarked: “Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I’m a proud West Virginia Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to protect Americans’ jobs & healthcare. We do not have some crazy socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the police.”
