President Biden was in Pennsylvania yesterday and he’s taking a familiar approach, which is to hope that nobody remembers what’s happened in the last few years.
The Safer American Plan, aimed at reducing gun crime, is based on a "simple notion," says Pres. Biden: "The answer is not to defund the police; it's fund the police." He adds, "We expect them to do everything…to protect us, to be psychologists, to be sociologists." pic.twitter.com/zWAhLjrsPm

There’s no gaslighting like Joe Biden gaslighting:
Discussing the importance of law enforcement in America, Biden declared, “There’s no place in this country, no place, for endangering the lives of law enforcement. No place. None, never, period.”
“I’m opposed to defunding the police, I’m also opposed to defunding the FBI,” he said.
Biden also took aim at Congressional Republicans and their support for law enforcement officers, claiming they “can’t be a party of law and order” while calling those “that attacked the police on January 6th patriots.”
“Let me say this to my MAGA Republican friends in Congress: Don’t tell me you support law enforcement if you won’t condemn what happened on the 6th. Don’t tell me. Can’t do it. For God’s sake, whose side are you on,” Biden said.

The New York Post’s Miranda Devine called out the sheer irony of that rhetoric coming from the nation’s top Democrat:
The gall of Joe Biden, wrapping himself in the blue, after the anti-cop violence and Defund Police movement he slyly egged on during the 2020 BLM/Antifa riots. The breakdown of law and order in our cities is the result. Now he poses as a law enforcement champion because… 1/2

…he is setting the scene for an even harsher crackdown on his political opponents by the FBI, his personal security agency. This is an extension of his increasingly intemperate attacks on Republicans as “semi-fascist”, “ultra-MAGA”, “white supremacists” and “domestic terrorists”

Maybe Biden should ask his VP about a fund she promoted to bail out violent rioters so they’d be free to go attack more cops.
And when it comes to anti-police rhetoric, Biden and the Democrats can take all the seats:
Here’s something Joe Biden doesn’t want you to see.
