Biden EPA nominee touted ‘defund the police’ on Chinese state TV

President Biden’s controversial nominee for a leadership position at the EPA touted the “defund the police” movement during an appearance on Chinese state television last year.

"So the idea of defunding the police generally means we should reallocate the funds that are used for policing toward the actual services that are needed by communities," Waterhouse, a law professor at Howard University, told the network. "There are places where we see that they don’t have robust police forces and they seem to be able to live their lives in a way that is acceptable and comfortable for them," he continued. "In all honesty, if you think about all of our major police forces, we have spent all of our money on a possible cure rather than putting it into education, into health and into social services."
