I can’t help but see more and more erratic political posturing and shameless hypocrisy from our current Democrat U.S. Senator, Tim Kaine.

This time, Senator Kaine’s Communications Director, Michael Beyer, is saying that U.S. Senate candidate “Hung Cao’s radical plan to defund local law enforcement and cut federal law enforcement personnel is devastating to the livelihoods of Virginians who serve in law enforcement and could jeopardize the safety of every Virginian across the Commonwealth,” when no such plan from Hung Cao exists.

Now why would the slippery Kaine campaign make such a bogus claim? Because they are trying to run cover for Tim Kaine’s own attacks on Virginia’s law enforcement officers and families. Tim Kaine would like nothing more than for Virginia voters to forget that he, and his radical cohorts Cory Booker and Kamala Harris, co-authored and led the push for the Justice for Policing Act of 2020 that called for job-inhibiting restrictions and mismatched punishments for police across America.

If Tim Kaine had his way, those professionals in the most hazardous profession across the country would be even further handicapped in their job of keeping Americans safe. This is just another example of Democrats revealing their thirst for power, as seen by their absurd political posturing, at the expense of the well-being of American citizens.
