Ted Cruz @tedcruz
The idea that Republicans, and not Democrats, have defunded the police is like an arsonist showing up as the fires blazing and blaming the firemen; its like O.J. saying hes going to help find the real killer.
Its ridiculous. And Democrats know it. https://foxnews.com/opinion/dems-defund-police-rising-crime-rates-sen-ted-cruz

So what does that say about the folks back home who somehow see fit to vote him into office?
Im still stuck on that one.
By thy representation art thou known, people.

Rafael probably doesn't understand the phrase Law Enforcement. The GOP spends tons of money on paramilitary forces both here and abroad, so the fact that they wear police uniforms probably counts in his mind.
