Fact check: The GOP's dishonesty-filled barrage of 'defund the police' attack ads

[LetMyPeopleVote]

The Defund the Police is one of the most ignorant slogans advanced in 2020. This stupid slogan cost Democrats a number of seats in 2020 and is being used again in 2022. The ads pushing this stupid line of attack have been fact checked

Republicans have been running ads around the country that use a variety of dishonest tactics to try to create the inaccurate impression that the Democratic candidates they are targeting support defunding the police.

Some of the Republican ads simply make things up. Other ads falsely describe bills the Democratic candidates have supported. Still other ads try guilt by association, noting that the candidates have supporters who have called to defund the police but not mentioning that the candidates themselves have rejected defunding the police.

One particularly egregious guilt-by-association ad accuses a Democrat of marching with a pro-defunding progressive group without providing evidence of the supposed marching and without noting that the event in question was a local “Fun Fest” that took place nearly three years before the group endorsed defunding.

Below is a look at eight deceptive Republican ads that have run in September or October. This is not a comprehensive list

In Texas, the GOP is using this line of attack in a number of races including against Beto and the Harris County judge race.

But I haven’t heard any of them offer any plans or solutions to deal with it. Other than fuck over the Democrats

3. Tarr.ant County Judge's Race as well

The Republican candidate is a real piece of work. He wants to dismantle our new and very safe voting system, go back to all marked by hand paper ballots, close our county hospital, do away with early voting and do away with vote by mail

A hot mess
