Once again we find out that Joe Biden is an unmitigated liar. During the campaign, he said he was against defunding the police. But then he turns around and nominated Vanita Gupta, an attorney who President Joe Biden has nominated for the No. 3 job at the Department of Justice. She is a huge supporter of defunding the police. That doesn’t bother me, I live in a city and state that will not defund the police.
The states and cities that do defund police will see rapid increases in crimes. It could rise dramatically if the Democrat’s draconian gun laws are instituted. Criminals love the idea of disarming law-abiding citizens. They don’t have to worry about facing the barrel of a gun themselves.
Biden has selected the most extremist cabinet of all time. I predict the congressional races in 2022 will be a bloodbath in favor of the Republicans.
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) warned
“Vanita Gupta, President Biden’s nominee for Associate Attorney General, would make America less safe. She must be stopped. More than 83k Americans died from drug overdoses last year, but Gupta wants to ‘decriminalize’ possession of ALL drugs, even fentanyl. Opioids are already ravaging our communities—we shouldn’t give fentanyl, heroin, or cocaine dealers get-out-of-jail-free cards.”
“As recently as last summer, Vanita Gupta called to defund the police. Her allies in the jailbreak industry—who are clamoring for access to the Biden DOJ—are now trying to deny what she said. But see for yourself where Vanita Gupta stands on defunding the police.”
Gupta said:
While front-end systems changes are important, it is also critical for state and local leaders to heed calls from Black Lives Matter and Movement for Black Lives activists to decrease police budgets and the scope, role, and responsibility of police in our lives.

“No wonder Soros prosecutors like Chesa Boudin in San Francisco have endorsed Gupta. Gupta would promote their pro-crime agenda,” Cotton continued. “Soros prosecutors caused a massive spike in crime in major cities across the country by refusing to prosecute criminals. Why would we trust their judgment for the Department of Justice? The Senate should be suspicious of anyone they endorse.”
“The No. 3 job at Justice comes with a major policy portfolio focused especially on federal and local law enforcement, and conservatives are aiming to highlight Gupta’s past supportive comments for reducing some police funding and redirecting it to other services in underserved communities,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The groups say those positions constitute support for defunding the police, a partisan lightning rod that Biden has repeatedly said he doesn’t support.”
