This morning, Trump tweeted an unhinged Tweet that baselessly accuses Joe Biden of wanting to “abolish police, abolish ICE, abolish bail, abolish suburbs, abolish the 2nd Amendment, and abolish the American Way of life.” This is pure projection by the Orange Menace.
This comes on the heels of recentads falsely depicting Biden as “anti-police”.
Mario Parker at Bloomberg Quint:
(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump has opened a new attack on Democrat Joe Biden, suggesting that his policies will endanger Americans’ lives.
The Trump campaign released a new television ad on Wednesday, with a phone ringing at a presumably abandoned police desk, followed by images of burning buildings, with the narrator saying that “the radical left wing’s agenda: take over our cities, defund the police.” The 30-second spot ends with the narrator asking “Who will be there to answer the call when your children aren’t safe?”
Trump paired that with a tweet Wednesday that said, “Joe Biden and the Radical Left want to Abolish Police, Abolish ICE, Abolish Bail, Abolish Suburbs, Abolish the 2nd Amendment – and Abolish the American Way of Life. No one will be SAFE in Joe Biden’s America!”
Fact check, via Bloomberg:
Biden has opposed fully defunding police departments, saying that federal funding should be tied to law enforcement agencies’ progress against violence within their ranks.
And in the wake of border agencies aggressively detaining illegal immigrants last year, some called to abolish the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. Biden is not calling for such a step.
Trump has also expressed opposition to an Obama-era policy that strengthens anti-discrimination laws for housing in the suburbs.
Vox’s Aaron Rupar:
It is imperative to get Trump out of office this fall, so vote for Biden and all Democrats up and down the ticket!
