Not even the liberal-leaning Washington Post is buying the Biden administration’s latest attempt to blame the Republican Party for the left’s radical agenda. Recently, Biden spokeswoman Jen Psaki made the outlandish claims that it was actually Republicans-not Democrats who are advocating to defund the police. Psaki said that by Republicans voting against Biden’s American Rescue Plan they were pushing to defund police.

Sadly for Psaki just because you say it does not make it true.

According to Townhall:

In a Wednesday morning fact check, The Washington Post calls the White House’s claim “slipshod” and points out that “although Republicans all opposed Biden’s coronavirus relief package, no one voted to cut, or defund, anything. Rather, Democrats proposed $350 billion in emergency funds for state and local governments, and Republicans voted against those extra funds. That’s not a reduction,” the WaPo piece explains.

The White House stretched again to try and justify their claim when WaPo reached out with questions about the claim saying “Republicans were ‘effectively’ trying to defund the police by withholding support for the coronavirus relief package.”

The Post didn’t buy this explanation either, noting that “voting against a one-time infusion of cash is not the same as voting to cut funding, so there is little basis to claim that Republicans are trying to ‘defund the police.'”

“There’s not even a line item to attach to the White House’s claim that Republicans are trying to defund the police,” WaPo also explains.

Ultimately, The Washington Post awarded Psaki’s claims with three Pinnochios.
