Biden is now claiming this morning that he doesn’t want to defund the police, that it’s Trump who wants to do it:

Biden is asked about an ad that claims he wants to defund police, and Biden responds that it’s really Trump who wants to defund them, not him.
But he was asked by a disabled man in an interview two months ago if he would agree to redirect funding from the police to other areas and he said adamantly YES. The fuller context of that ‘redirecting’ was toward social workers and tow truck drivers to deal with people like Rayshard Brooks. Biden absolutely agreed but now he’s saying he didn’t say it. C’mon.
Biden is also saying he doesn’t want to get rid of fracking:

But here is just one clip of him stammering the exact opposite in a primary debate:
Biden should just say he changed his mind, but he can’t deny that he said these things. Now if he doesn’t remember saying it, then we might all believe that LOL!
