After the RNC tweeted about 11,000 lbs of meth being seized on the border, Rep. Eric Swalwell requested why Republicans oppose funding the police.
The trade between Swalwell and the RNC:
Sounds just like the police are doing their job. Why don’t you do yours and fund extra police? @housegop voted towards $300m in group funding. https://t.co/IsqVYEIPlF

Republicans Have Voted Towards Police Funding
It’s not simply the extra police funding that Rep. Swalwell identified. Republicans have also voted against funding for police to fight gun crime.
Senate Republicans spent months dragging their feet on funding the Capitol Police after the 1/6 attack, they usually have voted numerous times against additional funding for local police departments.
Republicans can’t appear to understand that medicine being seized on the border is an efficient factor. It implies that regulation enforcement is preserving unlawful narcotics from stepping into the nation.
The GOP appears to assume that it’s Joe Biden’s fault that individuals are making an attempt to smuggle medicine into the nation.
As Rep. Swalwell identified, it’s the Republican Social gathering that has tried to defund regulation enforcement to forestall them from having the ability to successfully do their jobs.
Think about how way more efficient regulation enforcement might be if Republicans stopped voting towards their funding.
