"Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police"

Former Vice President Mike Pence on Wednesday called on his party to refrain from attacking the FBI after it executed a search warrant at Mar-a-Lago, the residence of former President Trump.

"I also want to remind my fellow Republicans we can hold the attorney general accountable for the decision that he made without attacking the rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI," he said in Manchester, New Hampshire.

"The Republican Party is the party of law and order. Our party stands with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line at the federal and state and local level, and these attacks on the FBI must stop. Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong as calls to defund the police." close
