Transcript of This would be an ‘unmitigated disaster’: Police union VP
Fox NewsWell, Democrats, they're trying to lean into this idea that even though Kama was running for President, her real calling is fighting the bad guys. Of course, it's complete fiction. When she was San Francisco DA, she proposed a three-strike rule for drug dealers. If you got caught selling narcotics, you're off the hook until you got caught for the third time. Of course, she was on the defund the police bandwagon before it was just a standard talking point. She was on it. It's no surprise why Trump was the one who got the endorsement from the fraternal order of police, a group he spoke with today.
Kamala Harris and the Communist left have unleashed a brutal plague of bloodshed, crime, chaos, misery, and death upon our land. Other than that, they're doing actually quite well. Thank you. We do not have to live this way. When I'm President of the United States, we are not going to take it anymore. We're not going to take it anymore.
Joining me now, Joe Gamaldi, fraternal order of police, National Vice President. He was at that meeting today. You can see him right here shaking Trump's hand as he comes onto the stage. Now, Joe, thank you for joining us. You tweeted today that seven officers have been shot in the last two days? So what's the sense of Kamala wins in November? How fearful are you guys that it's going to get worse?
Well, I mean, I think it's important to point out just how bad the problem is. We saw 378 police officers shot last year in this country. This year, it's not getting much better. We've already seen over 260 officers shot. That's one officer shot every 22 hours in America. And you asked what it would be like for Kamala Harris to be President for us. It would be an unmitigated disaster because the war on cops has raged under the Biden-Harris administration, and we haven't heard a peep from the White House. Everyone across this country should be in this historic violence against law enforcement, and yet they haven't said a word. It's despicable.
Well, I think when Americans see the changes to their towns and their cities, and it's not run-of-the-mill crime, which we've always had to deal with. The level of criminality, the brazen nature of the criminality, is something that is new to America, and the depravity of it is something that I think in my lifetime, I haven't seen before. I think that is directly related to the vilification, the villanization of law enforcement, especially since George Floyd. Kamala jumped right on that bandwagon, right on it.
You're absolutely right. I mean, let's remind the public. She loudly and proudly supported defunding the police, going as far as praising Mayor Garcetti for cutting $150 million from the LA police budget. She has been open in her of abolishing ICE, of legalizing border crossing. She has supported a bail reform. She supported the revolving door criminal justice system. She wanted to give drug dealers three chances before they would go to jail. I mean, these are far-left radical policies that have been an unmitigated disaster for our communities. Anyone who still supports these policies doesn't give a damn about the American people.
Yeah, and Trump's the threat to democracy. You know what a threat to democracy is? The type of criminals that they've allowed into this country and that are circulating now in and out of our country with ease and with absolute bravado because they know they're not going to get caught. Joe, thank you for what you do, and thank you for joining us.
