President-elect Joe Biden urged a group of activists to remain silent on his “promise” to “change policing” until after Georgia’s January Senate runoff elections, arguing that the push could alienate Peach State voters.

“I also don’t think that we should get too far ahead of ourselves on dealing with police reform in that, because they’ve already labeled us as being ‘defund the police,'” Biden said of Republicans. “Anything we put forward in terms of the organizational structure to change policing—which I promise you will occur, promise you—just think to yourself and give me advice whether we should do that before January 5th, because that’s how they beat the living hell out of us across the country, saying that we’re talking about defunding the police.”

“How much do we push between now and January 5th—we need those two seats—about police reform?” Biden went on to ask.



Biden’s comments came during a Tuesday call with Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, NAACP president Derrick Johnson, and other progressive activists, according to the Intercept. The call also came one week ahead of Biden’s first runoff campaign stop with Democratic Senate hopefuls Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

While Ossoff and Warnock have recently distanced themselves from calls to defund police, both Democrats have expressed hostility toward law enforcement in the past. Ossoff argued that funding for police departments has to be “on the line” in June and highlighted the need to hold “entire departments accountable.” Warnock, meanwhile, said that many police officers behave like gangsters and thugs in a series of 2015 sermons. Ossoff defended the comments of his self-described “running mate,” claiming that ads targeting Warnock’s sermons are “nonsense” and “fear-mongering.”

In other words, “That caused us to fraudulently steal the election.” He just admitted he feels he lost. He already said they took fraud to new levels, then he admits he lost, but for fraud.

Yeah, for lying Democrats, it’s never good to let voters know what they will REALLY do. Stripping them of their 2nd Amendment rights while destroying police protection might not have as much appeal as it does to the far left radical terrorists that support the Democrats.

The only seat Biden’s Brown Shirts need are the ones in a prison cell with Hunter as the big man on the Potty

pedophile joey is truly an ass kissing lackey. recall that even in socialist societies there are police and prisons. maybe the alleged activists black screw up and antiF**k up should visit the lack Dolphin Prison. In a socialist state, they have all failed, when the money runs out the system collapses-simple economics. didn’t the idiot aoc major in voodoo economics?

@MOS #8541: The left want to replace local police departments with a FEDERAL police department.
