President Donald Trump slammed Democratic candidate Joe Biden for his apparent lack of support from police unions and other law enforcement groups after hundreds of riots shook American cities over the summer.
Trump and Biden met on a debate stage in Cleveland, Ohio, on Tuesday night for the first presidential debate of the 2020 campaign, hosted by Fox News and moderated by anchor Chris Wallace. Wallace raised the issue of the future of policing, pressing the candidates directly on their thoughts about activists’ calls to replace police departments with “community” policing.
“He’s talking about defunding the police. He doesn’t have any law support. He has no law enforcement support. Almost nothing,” Trump said, interrupting Biden’s answer to Wallace’s question.
“That’s not true,” Biden shot back.
“Oh really? Who do you have?” Trump continued to press. “Name one group that supports you. Name one group that came out and supported you. Go ahead. Think. We have time.”
Cue the theme song to Jeopardy!
“We don’t have time to do anything except … alright, folks. Folks,” Biden responded, mumbling through part of his answer.
“Name one law enforcement group that came out and supported you, Joe,” Trump challenged Biden again. “There aren’t. I don’t think there are any.”
At that point, Wallace interjected, retaking the floor and saving Biden from further potential embarrassment trying to answer the president’s question directly.
“I think, gentlemen, I am going to take back the moderator’s role,” Wallace said before launching into his next planned discussion topic: summer riots that caused billions of dollars’ worth of damage to major American cities.
No, Chris ... you never adopted a moderator's role during the entire debate ... in fact, you fulfilled the role of Gropey Joe's wingman, instead. So, President Trump didn't just debate Gropey Joe, last night ... he debated Gropey Joe AND you.
Trump has earned the endorsement of multiple influential law enforcement groups. Biden’s support from law enforcement has come on an individual basis. As reported by Fox News, in early September, Biden received the endorsement of a list of more than 175 former and current law enforcement officers. The list includes “former U.S. attorneys, former state attorneys general, former sheriffs, and former police chiefs,” as well as former Obama administration secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano. ...
