In reality, defunding the police was proposed by Democrats who are now trying to flip the narrative to blame Republicans. GOP lawmakers have responded to Psaki’s claim that “actions speak louder than words” by pointing out that it was the Democrat-run cities of New York, Chicago and Seattle that slashed police budgets over the past year.
