Ilhan Omar Says Democrats Supporting Defund the Police Is Just Them ‘Voting Their District’

RUSH EXCERPT:

OMAR: “I mean, the Democratic Party and in Congress, we oftentimes talk about people voting their their district. Obviously, there are some parts of the United States back in 2020 that had some reckoning to do in regards to what it looked like to have a public safety that centered, um, actually safer communities, uh, for us in, in Minneapolis with the murder of George floyd. We had to have a deeper conversation about what really it looked like for us to address public safety here. Um, we had a police department that was essentially problematic. And when that conversation becomes nationalized, uh, then you sort of get the kind of messaging that gets sort of lost in, in the void. Minneapolis has come a long way. We still have a long way to go. And I think that is sort of what bernie was speaking to. People essentially do want safer communities. People want the issues that exist with certain police departments like the Minneapolis police department, to be addressed.”
