Kat Timpf: Dems blaming Republicans for 'defund the police' is sure sign of bigger problem

There has been much talk throughout conservative media regarding the claim from some Democrats that Republicans are behind the movement to "defund the police."

Although everyone in major party politics has done something like this at some point to some degree, this latest spin is a particularly demonstrative example.  For one thing, concocting the argument that Republicans' decision to reject a wide-ranging spending bill -- one that may have technically allowed local municipalities to fund law their enforcement if they chose to, but didn’t even so much as encourage them to do so -- indicates support for defunding police (let alone stronger support than that from the party that has members openly calling for it) must have required an insane amount of mental gymnastics. I mean, I’m talking "Alice in Wonderland"-esque levels of imagination here, which is an absolute shame considering the fact that people are suffering, scared and dying… and a much better use of time would have been on working to solve these problems.
