Pelosi Says ‘Defund the Police’ Not Democratic Policy

Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that the idea of “defunding the police” is not the direction that the Democratic Party is headed, Politico reports.

Said Pelosi: “Make no mistake, community safety is our responsibility. I quote one of my colleagues from New York, Ritchie Torres, a brand new member of Congress way on the left, saying that ‘defund the police’ is dead. That causes a concern with a few in our caucus. But public safety is our responsibility.”
