She's caught on camera supporting the highly unpopular "Defund the Police" movement, which the left tried to launch unsuccessfully after the deadly and destructive George Floyd riots.
Not only does she rubber-stamp her approval of the dangerous "Defund the Police" movement, but she also claims that "More safety with more cops is wrong" and suggests it's time to "Upend" the entire system.
In regards to the wildly unpopular "Defund the Police" movement, back in 2022, Rollcall published a piece about how the idiotic agenda was still haunting Democrats.
Even a cursory look at statements by Democratic leaders and radical backbenchers opposed to increased funding of police explains the party's dilemma.
On Feb. 13, George Stephanopoulos raised the issue of Rep. Cori Bush's statements calling for defunding the police during an interview with Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
"With all due respect in the world to Cori Bush," she replied, "That is not the position of the Democratic Party." Pelosi then declared, "Defund the police is dead." Two weeks later, in his State of the Union address, President Biden called for increased funding for police: "We should all agree: The answer is not to defund the police. The answer is to fund the police. Fund them. Fund them." Apparently, Squad member Bush didn't get the message.
In a tweet after the speech, she said, "With all due respect, Mr. President, you didn't mention saving Black lives once in this speech. All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings. Defund the police. Invest in our communities." A month later, a gunman shot up a New York subway train, and an inconvenient 2019 letter from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerrold Nadler and other liberal New York House members resurfaced.
