White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany slammed Democratic leaders during Tuesday’s press conference over the “defund the police” movements that many Democrats have given into by showing how violent crime has increased in those areas.
“I would like to end just by highlighting a troubling trend that I think we’ve seen play out across the country, and I believe we have a few graphics to illustrate this. It pertains to the ‘Defund the Police’ movement,” McEnany said toward the end of the press conference. “And when you look at, across the country, the ties of defunding the police with increases in violence, it’s a cause for concern. As we saw in the beginning of this administration, violent crime was starting to come down, and then bring in the ‘Defund the Police’ movement.”
