During the Black Lives Matter riots, Democrats demanded that police be defunded so that criminals could wreak havoc unimpeded. This did not play in Peoria, so they backed off — for the time being. Their sentiments remain unchanged, as a recent House vote confirms.

Via Fox News:

Just 29 House Democrats on Wednesday voted for a GOP-authored measure paying tribute to the “extraordinary sacrifice” law enforcement officers make and criticizing the defund the police movement for jeopardizing public safety.

Meanwhile, 173 Democrats voted with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., against the resolution, while every GOP lawmaker present supported it.

The measure was introduced by Zach Nunn (R-IA), who had expected unanimous support. Supporting the police rather than criminals has always been a political no-brainer — but no longer. Nowadays, even a token gesture in favor of law enforcement would enrage the Democrat base.

The vote came during National Police Week, which honors the service and sacrifice of fallen law enforcement officers across the country.

Democrats make it easy to tell the black hats from the white hats.
