Trump Caught Lying About Biden’s Police Stance in Fox News Interview Debacle
https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2020/07/trump-fox-news-joe-biden-chris-wallace-defund-police-caught-lying.html
President
Trump, apparently realizing that he has little chance to defeat Joe
Biden, has decided instead to run against an imaginary candidate who
shares a name with his Democratic opponent but few of the same policy
proposals. In an interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace, Trump
asserted that Biden wants to “defund the police.” Wallace stopped him
and pointed out that this is not true. Trump, who usually bluffs his way
through moments when his lies are called out by throwing out new lies,
instead claimed to have a document that would prove it. “Oh, really? It
says ‘abolish’ — let’s go, get me the charter, please!” he said, calling
for his aides.
They could not, of course, because Trump’s claims are flatly false. Biden did sign a charter
with Bernie Sanders in which he endorsed several positions that brought
him closer to his left-wing opponent. He did not, however, agree to
defund or abolish the police.
Wallace
told his audience that Trump “couldn’t find any indication, because
there isn’t any, that Joe Biden has sought to defund and abolish the
police.” That is a humiliating result for a Fox News interview.

If thou wilt restore the tent to its place, well and goods but if not, Joshua son of Nun, the disciple, will minister in thy place. Therefore it is written, ‘And he would return to the camp’.
Defiant Portland mayor tells feds to 'stay inside' or 'leave' city, asks DHS to clean up graffiti

The
interim head of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security was in
Portland meeting with federal law enforcement officials on Thursday, the
same day he issued a blistering public statement calling out “local
political leaders” for their refusal “to restore order to protect their
city.”
The message from Acting Secretary Chad Wolf condemned “the rampant long-lasting violence” in Portland.
Wolf’s nearly 1,700-word statement refers to Portland’s demonstrators as both “violent anarchists” and a “violent mob.”
U.S.
Sen. Ron Wyden, a Democrat, on Thursday decried violence and added that
“the real issue here is Donald Trump’s unilateral decision to send
federal law enforcement into Portland. Unfortunately, these outsiders
proved themselves to be escalators of violence when they shot a peaceful
protester in the head just last weekend.”

Portland meeting with federal law enforcement officials on Thursday, the
same day he issued a blistering public statement calling out “local
political leaders” for their refusal “to restore order to protect their
city.”
Wolf’s statement comes six days after a deputy U.S. Marshal fired an impact munition at a 26-year-old man, seriously injuring him, and four days after President Donald Trump said “Portland was totally out of control” until federal law enforcement responded and “very much quelled it.”
Oregon governor criticizes Trump for sending federal officers to Portland

Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) lashed out at President Trump and acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf amid reports of federal officers detaining protesters in Portland, Ore.
“This
political theater from President Trump has nothing to do with public
safety. The President is failing to lead this nation. Now he is
deploying federal officers to patrol the streets of Portland in a
blatant abuse of power by the federal government,” Brown tweeted
Thursday after Wolf defended sending the forces, claiming that the city
of Portland has been "under siege for 47 straight days by a violent
mob."

In recent days, federal security forces have taken to the streets of Portland,

Fox News host Chris Wallace fact-checked President Donald Trump's inaccurate claim during an interview that former Vice President Joe Biden is in favor of defunding the police, leading to a testy reaction.
In a clip released between the "FOX News Sunday” anchor and Trump – the entire interview will air Sunday – the
president blamed "stupidly run" Democratic local governments for the
increase in violence in some cities and implied the increase was the
fault of the defund the police movement.
"It’s
gotten totally out of control and it’s really because they want to
defund the police, and Biden wants to defund the police," Trump said in
the clip about the presumptive Democratic nominee.
Portland mayor demands Trump keep federal agents 'in your own buildings, or have them leave our city'

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler is demanding that President Trump remove federal agents
deployed to the city amid criticisms of a heavy-handed response against
protesters and journalists and reports that militarized law enforcement
personnel have refused to identify themselves.
“Keep
your troops in your own buildings, or have them leave our city,”
Wheeler said at a news conference Friday. "This is part of the core
media strategy out of Trump’s White House: to use federal troops to
bolster his sagging polling data. And it is an absolute abuse of federal
law enforcement officials.”
His remarks came on the same day the American Civil Liberties Union of Oregon filed a lawsuit
against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the U.S. Marshals
Service for allegedly violating the rights of journalists and legal
observers. The suit adds the federal agencies to an existing complaint
to halt crowd control measures and the use of tear gas, rubber bullets
against the media and legal observers during protests.
