Murphy Introduces Resolution to Prevent ‘Defund the Police’ Lawmakers from Accessing Taxpayer-Funded Security

Washington, D.C. – Today, Rep. Greg Murphy, M.D. (NC-03) introduced a House Resolution expressing the sense that any Member of Congress who makes a public statement advocating for ‘defunding the police' should not be permitted to use taxpayer dollars to contract private security. The resolution condemns any calls made by a member to ‘defund the police.'

"Time after time, the American people have been baffled by progressive, hypocritical, and anti-cop lawmakers who publicly decry ‘defund the police' while simultaneously using taxpayer dollars to pay for their own security details," said Rep. Murphy. "It's a classic and timeless example of the Democrats' rules for thee, but not for me. The Squad could care less about public safety, and they didn't mind when blue cities burned in Summer 2020 – so long as they get to enjoy personal, private taxpayer funded security.

My resolution condemns any calls made by a member of Congress to ‘defund the police' and asserts that those lawmakers should not be permitted to use federal funds to pay for their security. Our law enforcement officers sacrifice so much for our nation. We must always back the blue and fearlessly stand in opposition to those who hypocritically threaten peace and our rule of law."

Co-sponsors of the resolution include: Reps. Norman, Bishop, Buck, Biggs, Weber, Boebert, and Barr.
