The Republican continued, slamming calls in Georgia to defund law enforcement. Gaines specifically criticized proposals in Athens and Atlanta that would reduce funding for police. It’s also worth noting that Atlanta’s work to defund police comes amid a 60% crime surge in the city.

Holding the line

Florida and Georgia are just two examples of red states working to hold the line against lawlessness, disruption, and chaos. Defunding law enforcement does not work; it doesn’t solve problems, but instead only increases violence, crime, and disorder.

Republican leaders have made very clear that they will not stand for defunding the police. In a similar turn, many GOP-led states are also taking action to push back against riots and violent demonstrations. These are additional issues that have plagued communities controlled by the Democrat Party.

Holding the line means not only keeping law enforcement funded, but also taking a direct stance against crime and chaos. Georgia’s H.B. 286 is already facing censure from leftists and “defund the police” supporters.
