It’s a habit.

This morning:

Rep. Vicky Hartzler @RepHartzler
Washington Democrats have repeatedly called for defunding our heroic law enforcement officers.

The result? Skyrocketing violent crime across America.

We must #BackTheBlue.

As always, the responses are hilarious.

I’m sure you have evidence for this.

I wonder how many people have said, “I’m going to commit a crime because people are talking about defunding the police.”

The result of “calling for” what you refer to as defunding the police is skyrocketing crime? Ignoring that they are asking to reallocate resources, not defund the police, shouldn’t they have to actually take action before you can blame them?

“Called for”? Care to explain how calling for something causes a result? Also care to explain how redirecting money toward social services, education and mental health agencies (what they are calling for) would have these results?

And can you really not think of any other reason why these crimes may have been down last year? This is such a low effort lie even from you

Why is it that calls for defunding the police would lead to more crimes before any action has been taken? Something stinks in this reasoning.

couldn’t have anything to do with people being locked down last year

Hmmm, it seems like there is a reason that more activity is happening this year vs last year.

Here in Missouri it’s Republicans defunding police and taking away law enforcement resources

You are saying just the mere asking for defunding police caused the crime rate to surge. That makes no sense. What it does say; that regardless of their current funding, they still can’t prevent crime. So why not try something new? Clearly, the old way isn’t working.

Show your work, Vicky.

Work? This is her work. She spews propaganda, makes patheic little photo ops, and takes farm subsidies.

You are full of it Hartzler. 100%.

You are so pathetic.
