Joe Biden reportedly told a group of civil rights leaders that demands to defund the police gave Republicans an issue with which to “beat the living hell” out of Democrats, according to leaked audio.
Biden’s remarks came during a virtual meeting attended by Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) and prominent civil rights leaders, including NAACP President Derrick Johnson and Rev. Al Sharpton. In the call, Biden urged the leaders to think very carefully before they push the defund the police movement as two Georgia Senate runoffs that will decide who controls the chamber are set for Jan. 5.
