Granted, the reporter is Jason Mattera whose ambush style is admittedly pretty provocative, but I think he asks an honest question here. Is it really appropriate to make the debate over the President’s jobs bill (which couldn’t even pass the Democrat Senate) a “you’re with us or the rapists” moment?
Apparently, the Vice President thinks it’s a good rhetorical tactic.
Biden mentions rapes and murders in Flint, MI again, with the premise of his argument being that the President’s jobs bill will provide more funds to hire more cops. Thus, less raping and murdering.
Except, as I pointed out previously, the City of Flint has been pouring millions into “green” buses among other line items you’d think would be of a lower priority than law enforcement.
If rapes and murders are such a problem in Flint – and to be sure it looks like the numbers Biden cites are accurate – then why don’t they prioritize law enforcement over hybrid buses?
Why should the federal government deficit spend to bailout out the poor priorities of cities like Flint?
