You helped fire up a mob to attack the police. An officer died.

Ted Cruz @tedcruz
The idea that Republicans, and not Democrats, have defunded the police is like an arsonist showing up as the fire’s blazing and blaming the firemen; it’s like O.J. saying he’s going to help find the real killer.
It’s ridiculous. And Democrats know it. https://foxnews.com/opinion/dems-defund-police-rising-crime-rates-sen-ted-cruz

I’m still stuck on that one.

By thy representation art thou known, people.

Rafael probably doesn't understand the phrase Law Enforcement. The GOP spends tons of money on paramilitary forces both here and abroad, so the fact that they wear police uniforms probably counts in his mind.
