President Joe Biden on Tuesday accused MAGA Republicans of wanting to defund the police and ‘abolish the FBI’ as he made a case for stricter gun laws.
‘Last week, I laid out in my budget that we invest more in safer communities and invest in mental health services for those affected by gun violence. Congressional Republicans should pass my budget instead of calling for cuts in these services or abolishing the police or defunding the FBI,’ he said.
The president made an emotional appeal for stricter gun laws as he signed an executive order to increase the number of background checks.
Biden spoke at Monterey Park, California – a community stilling reeling from a mass shooting during Lunar New Year festivities in January. The gunman killed 11 people using a semi-automatic weapon and injured nine others before killing himself.
