Mike, go on attempting to deceive the American people with Orwellian "fact checks" that make a mockery of the English language.

This doesn't change the fact Biden appointed Kristen Clarke and Vanita Gupta to DOJ and they both are major advocates of defunding the police.
Clarke, Biden's Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights wrote 3 times in a Newsweek op ed: "We must invest less in police."

Mike, you don't get to memory hole that.

newsweek.com/i-prosecuted-p…
Gupta, Biden's associate attorney general testified it's "critical for state and local leaders to heed calls from Black Lives Matter and Movement for Black Lives activists to decrease police budgets..."

You can't ignore that.

THREAD.

Georgia Democrat Raphael Warnock hosted Jeremiah Wright as a guest preacher.

Wright believes: "The state of Israel is an illegal, genocidal place. … To equate Judaism with the state of Israel is to equate Christianity with (rapper) Flavor Flav.”
After 9/11, Wright said, "We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."
Wright: "The government gives (African Americans) the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people..."

Joe Biden calls Radical Liberal Raphael Warnock a person of "character."

This is Warnock:

He praised Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic hate group, the Nation Of Islam, calling its voice “important.”

Warnock compared Israeli PM Bibi Netanyahu to segregationist George Wallace.
Warnock called Israel an “Apartheid” state, said Israel was “a land of violence and bloodshed and occupation,” referred to Israeli leaders as “clever politicians,” and accused them of being “racist and vicious.”

In 2018, Warnock likened Israeli Jews to “birds of prey.”
Last year, Warnock signed a letter comparing the West Bank to apartheid South Africa.

Warnock praised anti-Semite and anti-American pastor Jeremiah Wright and he has refused to distance himself.

Warnock has cozied up with a Democrat Congressman who called Jews “termites.”

Ron Klain repeatedly got it wrong for Joe Biden.

On Biden & his handling of the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic Klain:

"We did every possible thing wrong... It is purely a fortuity that this isn’t one of the great mass casualty events in American history."
And in response to the coronavirus, Ron Klain repeatedly provided wrong and terrible advice.

On January 27, 2020, Klain praised China:

“I think what you’d have to say about China is, it’s been more transparent and more candid than it has been during past outbreaks.”
On January 28, 2020 Ron Klain said, “I wouldn’t [ban Chinese travelers from arriving in the U.S.]. I think that’s premature.”
