Defund the police? Defund, my butt. I'm a proud West Virginia Democrat. We are the party of working men and women. We want to protect Americans' jobs & healthcare. We do not have some crazy socialist agenda, and we do not believe in defunding the police.

My grandfather worked 45 years in the coal mines. He was a paying UMWA member & died of black lung. I was told I was not allowed in UMWA union halls to speak to local members because the leadership endorsed a corrupt governor's daughter who is for Right to Work. Let that sink in.
