Joe Biden may appear to be a “good guy” vanilla candidate; however, his policies are anything but benign. Biden and his radical left handlers and running mate, Kamala Harris, are a lethal cancer to our American way of life and want to replace freedom with socialism, and have defamed and vilified our law enforcement heroes as “the enemy.”

The one policy issue crystal clear from the bizarre DNC dis-infomercial is that Joe Biden has absolutely zero respect for the constitutional design of the presidency and American government. We the people get to select and prefer our leaders, giving them limited power for the specific purpose of preserving and protecting our fundamental rights.

Part of that protection is the security we enjoy as Americans through law enforcement. Joe Biden and the Democrats have consistently shown how they are willing to use and then undermine black Americans and women specifically, and defunding police and vilifying law enforcement shows just how dismissive Biden is about the actual obligations of his office to groups that are impacted most by crimes and domestic violence.

As a woman, a former prosecutor, defense attorney and a sexual assault victim who went through the legal process to hold my attacker accountable, I have worked with police officers and law enforcement personally and professionally across the board. Law enforcement officers are generally hardworking people who care deeply about the work they do and truly go above and beyond to serve and protect their communities.

I’ve also worked with countless women who have been victims of crimes and women who are concerned for neighborhood safety for their children. We understand that law enforcement is there to be available in situations of emergency and ongoing safety and protection for ourselves and our families. Women dont need social workers in place of law enforcement. We need justice.

But Joe Biden and the Democrats don’t care about any of that. Joe Biden pretends to care about women only to demand our vote — as if he’s entitled to it. But women aren’t monolithic voters, and we care about substance. Joe Biden is actually worse than empty promises — he poses a clear and present danger to women and our families through his response that he would “yes, absolutely” redirect (defund) law enforcement. 

Instead of working to bring law enforcement and communities together, Joe Biden is stoking fear and division and putting women at risk. 

Americans don’t want to defund police — Americans want law and order.
