Clueless On Crime

There's another funeral today in New York City for a police officer killed by a thug.  In Texas, they are mourning a deputy sheriff gunned down by an illegal alien.  In Stockton, California, they are mourning a firefighter who was shot and killed while trying to put out a fire. 

Recent polling shows that the growing crime wave is the top concern among voters, tied with inflation.   But the Biden White House is clueless.  Press Secretary Jen Psaki recently laughed off the concerns of Americans worried about "soft on crime" policies, by rhetorically asking, "What does that even mean?"

Asked to clarify her comments yesterday, Psaki tried to turn the tables by claiming that Republicans voted against additional funding for police in last year's stimulus bill.  That's false. 

Republicans opposed the left's wasteful spending in part because it wasn't specifically earmarked for law enforcement.  The extra money was discretionary spending.  Even the liberal Washington Post gave Psaki "three Pinnochios" for that lie.

But no amount of gaslighting is going to confuse the American people – 64% of the public disapproves of Biden's handling of crime.
