Rep. Cori Bush to Biden: 'You didn't mention saving Black lives once in this speech'

“All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings.'

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., was seemingly unhappy on Tuesday night after President Biden announced his support for funding police departments.

“With all due respect, Mr. President. You didn’t mention saving Black lives once in this speech,” Bush tweeted. “All our country has done is given more funding to police. The result? 2021 set a record for fatal police shootings."“Defund the police. Invest in our communities.” Hundreds of police officers gather for the funeral of fallen NYPD officer Wilbert Mora at St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York on Feb. 2.

“That’s why the Justice Department required body cameras, banned chokeholds and restricted no-knock warrants for its officers,” he said.
