This week, vulnerable Republican Scott Perry voted in favor of an amendment restricting the use of federal funds for a new FBI headquarters.
Republican attacks on our law enforcement are nothing new. Earlier this year, Perry worked overtime with MAGA Republicans on a failed federal budget that would defund law enforcement by slashing funding for the FBI, DEA, and other cuts that could lead to the elimination of hundreds of state and local law enforcement nationwide.
Perry also downplayed attacks on Capitol police on January 6, continuing to falsely claim no insurrectionist was armed and even opposing a vote to honor the law enforcement who gave their life to protect his own.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
“With Scott Perry’s most recent push to defund our federal law enforcement, he’s yet again pandering to the far-right fringes of his party. If Republicans like Perry get their way, they would cripple our law enforcement institutions all to appease Donald Trump.”
