President Biden’s pick for a top position at the Department of Housing and Urban Development has a history of supporting the far-left “defund the police” movement.
But Greene’s progress has stalled in the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs as his past publications and social media posts are scrutinized.
Biden first nominated Greene for the assistant secretary position in 2021, but the choice died in committee in part due to. Undeterred, Biden renominated Greene for the same post weeks after the new Congress was sworn in. When Greene was asked in 2021 about his statements by Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown , he answered: “I do not support defunding the police,” claiming that the phrase “No More Money for the Police” had auto-populated when he shared the Times article.
“Today, we are seeing increasingly passionate — and actionable — demands to divert funding from policing and mass incarceration and reinvest those funds in the assets proven to make neighborhoods safer and more prosperous,” Greene and Turner wrote.and Funders for Justice — both of which have the “defund” movement.
“Worse yet, instead of taking responsibility for making such statements, he pointed fingers and apologized for our taking offense, attempting to deny his anti-police sentiment,” he went on.
