“It’s sickening to see the new attacks on the FBI, which threaten the lives of law enforcement officers and their families for simply enforcing the law and doing their jobs,” Biden told a crowd in Wilkes-Barre. Biden continued, “Look, I want to say this as plainly as I can: There is no place in this country, no place to put the lives of law enforcement officers at risk. No place. No one, ever, period. I am opposed to defunding the I am also opposed to defunding the FBI.” The FBI has seen increased threats against bureau personnel and property in the wake of the Mar-a-Lago investigation, including some against agents listed in court records as being involved in the execution of the search warrant. Several Republicans in recent weeks have called for “defunding the FBI,” signaling Trump’s ascendancy in the party. The President also sharply criticized Republicans in Congress who align with Trump and refuse to condemn the violent January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. “Let me say this to my MAGA Republican friends in Congress: Don’t tell me you support law enforcement if you don’t condemn what happened on (Jan. 6). Don’t tell me. I can’t do it. For God’s sake grace, whose side are you on?’ Biden said. The President said, “You can’t be pro-law enforcement and pro-insurgency. You can’t be the party of law and order and call the people who attacked the police on January 6th patriots. You can’t do that.” Biden criticized comments made over the weekend by Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who said in an interview with Fox that there would be “riots in the streets” if Trump was prosecuted. “The idea of ​​turning on a TV and seeing senior senators and members of Congress saying, ‘If this and that happens, is there going to be blood in the street?’ Where the hell are we?’ Biden said. Tuesday’s remarks built on Biden’s unofficial midterm campaign last week, in which he offered one of his sharpest disapprovals of MAGA Republicans and told a group of Democratic donors that the “whole philosophy behind the ‘agenda’ Make America Great Again “semi-fascism”. Biden was in Pennsylvania to promote his proposal to strengthen police forces across the country and reduce crime, which includes hiring and training 100,000 police officers over the next five years. “When it comes to public safety in this nation, the answer is not to defund the police, but to fund the police,” Biden said. Biden said, “I’m tired of not giving the kind of help that they need. Guys, look, we’re in a situation in this country where we need to give them extra resources that they need to get their jobs done.” The President devoted a significant portion of his speech to calling for a federal ban on assault weapons. He talked about his trip to Uvalde, Texas, after a mass shooting at an elementary school that left 19 children and two teachers dead, and said parents had to provide DNA to identify their children, “because the AR-15 just dissolves the body. .” “And a 20-year-old kid can come in and buy one?” Biden said, raising his voice. “DNA to say ‘This is my baby.’ What the hell is wrong with us?’ Congress passed the first major federal gun safety legislation in decades earlier this summer, but Biden said more needs to be done. The President was originally scheduled to unveil the “Plan for a Safer America” ​​last month in Pennsylvania, but his trip was postponed after he tested positive for Covid-19 the morning he was due to fly to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. The plan asks Congress to provide more than $10 billion in funding over five years for the COPS Hiring Program to help fund the hiring and training of additional police officers. The President has repeatedly rejected calls by some Democrats and activists to “defund the police” and cut budgets to police departments and reallocate funding to social services to respond to non-violent crimes. The movement gained national prominence following the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis in 2020. The President’s visit Tuesday to Pennsylvania was the first of three appearances in the key battleground state over the next week. Biden is scheduled to give a speech in Philadelphia on Thursday and is scheduled to travel to Pittsburgh on Labor Day. This story was updated with additional developments on Tuesday.
