Doesnt matter if any politician said it or not. Biden certainly never did. He was still tarred with it. Still would have been tarred with that and socialist and all the other labels even if Bernie, AOC and the squad never existed.

Lets deal with the actual problem and find an actual solution. Because your solution is a: never going to happen. Barring a complete authoritarian police state, there will be always be someone who will say defund the police b: wouldnt work even if it did happen. They would still accuse us of it all, even if they had to make it up out of whole cloth.

These are people who have convinced a sizeable portion of their base to believe, really believe, that Joe Biden is a socialist. That takes a complete denial of reality on a level that makes any lie they choose believable.
