Black Americans are not endangered but saved by police officers every day, former Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday.
“You know, last August at Fort McHenry I told the American people that they wouldn’t be safe in Joe Biden’s America. And it grieves my heart to report to you, tonight in Hillsborough County, that murders have now increased by more than a third in our largest cities,” he stated in remarks given at the annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner hosted by the Hillsborough County Republicans in Manchester, New Hampshire.
Pence continued:
Democrat efforts to defund the police, withdraw support for law enforcement, has set off a violent crime wave that’s wreaking havoc in families all across the nation. Black lives are not endangered by police, black lives are saved by police every day. We don’t need to defund the police, we need to defend the police and reject the anti-law enforcement agenda of Joe Biden and the Democrats in Washington and put the lives of law-abiding citizens of every race, and creed, and color first.
