Defunding the police is a hot topic when discussing ways to improve policing in various cities. However, the idea of taking away funds from the police isn’t an idea that “The View” co-host Meghan McCain supports, as she stated on Monday’s show.
McCain stated that when first hearing about defunding the police, she said it was “the stupidest thing I ever heard.”
“Democratic strategists are very concerned about how effective the terminology ‘defund the police’ has been when it comes to voting and voting in primaries,” McCain said. “I think it’s important for Republicans to understand that Democrats kowtow to a Twitter audience a lot of times.”
“They kowtow to people in the media. And it has been shown that statistically that if Twitter were a voting bloc, it would be the second most liberal voting bloc … congressional district in the United States.”
Over the weekend, “Fox News Sunday” host Chris Wallace got into a spar with Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) as the US representative voted against an emergency aid bill that would allocate funds to police and first responders.
Wallace stated that voting against this bill would be a way of defunding the police.
