FNC’s Wallace Accuses GOP Rep. of ‘Defunding the Police’ for Not Supporting Biden COVID Stimulus

Fox News anchor Chris Wallace had a contentious interview with Rep. Jim Banks (R-IN) on this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday” over a vote against the Democrats emergency coronavirus relief bill that included police funds.
Banks said, “Today Joe Biden is being held hostage in the White House by “the Squad” and the radicals in the Democrat Party who control their party who have spent the last year’s stigmatizing one of the most honorable professions in America in our law enforcement. It’s not just about defunding the police, which they fully support, but over the last year, they talked about stripping qualified immunity, protections for police officers who do their job. They talk about cashless warrants and decreasing sentences as well, cashless bail, excuse me, and decreasing sentences.”
Wallace said, “Congressman Banks, let me push back on that a little bit because of the program that he announced this week. The president said that the central part in his anti-crime package is the $350 billion in the American Rescue Plan, the COVID relief plan that was passed. Take a look at what the president said.
In a video, President Biden said, “It means more police officers, more nurses, more counselors, more social workers, more community violence interrupters to help resolve this before they escalate into crimes.”
