Democrats Have Been Calling For Defunding The Police For 100 Days, and Roy Cooper and Josh Stein Are Still Complicity Silent

For Immediate Release

Raleigh, NC - Democrats across the nation started the call to defund the police 100 days ago. Governor Roy Cooper and Attorney General Josh Stein have remained eerily quiet on these radical demands. Democrats across the country have followed through on their pledge to defund the police by slashing public safety budgets in New York, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. Unsurprisingly, after defunding the police crime spiked in New York, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis. 

North Carolina has not been exempt from the radical left’s demands to defund the police. Several riots have broken out in several North Carolina cities, causing millions of dollars worth of damage and shuttering small businesses. Further, Democrat politicians right here in North Carolina have taken steps to defund the police. Instead of standing up and defending the police, Cooper and Stein have remained hidden in their basements while the safety of North Carolinians is compromised. 

“Roy Cooper and Josh Stein are missing in action when North Carolinians need them to stand up to their liberal allies and defend the police,” said NCGOP Press Secretary Tim Wigginton. “Instead of vocally defending the hard working law enforcement who keep us safe, Cooper and Stein have remained complicity silent as rioters destroy small businesses right here in North Carolina.” 

Other North Carolina Democrats have shown contempt for our brave police officers that protect our communities. Cal Cunningham laughed at the ambush of two police officers in his first televised senatorial debate. North Carolina House Democrats are publically aligned and backed a group that wants to defund the police. The contrast this election is clear, Republicans stand with law enforcement, and Democrats march with the mob.
