Nice article from that gay Guy Curt never heard of.
Would this be more or less shameless than the ludicrous and surreal White House talking point from awhile back that claimed it's actually the Republicans who are real the "defund the police" party? I'm open to arguments on both sides, because it's something of a jump ball. Remember, Joe Biden had personally endorsed one central "defund" step, back when it was politically fashionable, around the same time Kamala Harris was urging her social media followers to donate to a radical bail fund that works to get violent criminals and rioters out of jail. The "defund" movement is an exclusively left-wing project, championed by some of the loudest so-called progressive voices in the country. But because the GOP opposed a giant, inflationary spending binge that included some CYA law enforcement funding, the Biden brain trust decided that they'd try to use that dynamic to pin the "defund" label on the GOP. Outside of a few journalists, nobody took it seriously, of course, because it was patently unserious on its face...
Benson is waaaaaaaaaay more conservative than is pb but he's, in pb's opinion, the most careful thinking conservative in media.
