Rep. Mike Garcia spoke with Fox News Digital about the differences between how Republicans and Democrats approach law enforcement issues and security.
A House Republican who represents a district President Biden won by more than six points is arguing 'security' will be the deciding factor in races like his across the country come November. 'It’s an irrational thing for a voter not to want security,' Rep. Mike Garcia, R-Calif., told Fox News Digital in an interview. Garcia is the only Republican in the House of Representatives who represents part of the Los Angeles metro area.
They don't like the fact that President Biden — it looks like he doesn't know what he's doing relative to his counterparts in Russia and China. They value strength and, so, I think valuing law enforcement is a big deal, and valuing border security and economic security, stopping the out-of-control spending, lowering taxes, valuing neighborhood security by getting more cops on the street. … These are very … common denominator issues.
He noted that Deputy Ryan Clinkunbroomer with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Office was killed in his district in an apparent ambush late last year while the officer sat in his patrol car. Garcia characterized it as a tragic manifestation of the wider issues with law enforcement in Los Angeles County. They've got leadership, laws and crazies around them that are literally killing them – them being the cops,' Garcia said. 'They aren't getting reinforcements. They're working as many overtime hours as they are … regular hours. And, so, when you see that and when you see elected officials who are supposed to be protecting you, that are supposed to be on your side … most of these elected officials bent the knee to this defund the police movement out of fear of the protesters.
