Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird speaks at RNC
MILWAUKEE, Wisconsin (KCRG) – Iowa attorney general Brenna Bird got her moment in the RNC spotlight on Tuesday night.
She spoke about what she said are efforts by the Biden Administration to defund the police.
“Never forget, the Democratic Party is the party of defunding the police,” Bird said. “They said it, they mean it, and they can’t wiggle out of it. Republicans get justice for victims, and we put criminals where they belong, in jail.”
Bird also commended Trump in her speech for attending the wake of a fallen New York Police Officer.
