Charles Booker
Charles Booker, a state representative from Kentucky, joined with the “Squad” bashing Obama’s remarks. In his message, Booker says the “defund the police” slogan doesn’t directly correlate to the movement’s mission and urges Democrats not to abandon the controversial cause.
The truth of the matter is that our country has always been vigorously reluctant or outright unwilling to address the abuse, brutality, militarization, and institutional racism in policing.
It’s not really about a “slogan”.

We didn’t lose Breonna because of a slogan.
Instead of conceding this narrative, let’s shape our own. It’s time we listen to the people, organize and build coalitions around our own message, and cast a vision that inspires us all to lead for change at the ballot box and beyond. https://t.co/mBg7wanaR6
