The nationwide protests against racist police violence sparked by the murder of George Floyd last summer led Republicans to spend the 2020 campaign slamming Democrats for supposedly wanting to defund and abolish the police.

While abolitionists have called for an overhaul of the current law enforcement system—citing its racist roots and disproportionate targeting of Black Americans—approaches to police reform are by no means unanimous within the Democratic party.


Though Republicans claim to be the pro-law enforcement party, many Republican lawmakers amplified former President Donald Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. This "Big Lie" prompted hundreds of his extremist supporters to storm the United States Capitol in hopes of upending the joint congressional session acknowledging Biden's victory.

Though lawmakers were the primary targets of the failed insurrection, the Capitol Police and D.C. Metropolitan police directly faced the aggression of Trump's supporters, with many being beaten and called racial slurs while defending the Capitol.

In a Tuesday House Judiciary Committee hearing, Congresswoman Val Demings (D-FL)—a former police chief herself—blasted her Republican colleagues for their "politically convenient" support for police, prompting an interruption from Republican Congressman Jim Jordan of Ohio.

Watch below.

Demings said:

"I served as a law enforcement officer for 27 years. It is a tough job. And good police officers deserve your support. You know it's interesting to see my colleagues on the other side of the aisle support the police when it is politically convenient to do so. Law enforcement risk their lives every day. They deserve better and the American people deserve better."

A hysterical Jim Jordan shouted in opposition while Demings was speaking, prompting her to rebuke him:

"I have the floor, Mr. Jordan. What, did I strike a nerve? Law enforcement officers deserve better than to be utilized as pawns."

People applauded Demings' takedown of the Republican representative.






They joined her in rebuking Jordan.



Hours after Demings' words, Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty on all counts for the murder of George Floyd.

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
