Original Note:
No Republican has ever called for defunding the police. Equating opposition to $350 billion in "State and Local aid", none of which was earmarked for policing, was the rationalization for this misinformation. Even the Washington Post gives this 3 Pinocchios. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/07/07/white-houses-slipshod-claim-that-republicans-are-defunding-police/
