President Joe Biden disagrees with a tweet from Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) calling for an end to “policing, incarceration, and militarization,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said.

“That’s not the president’s view,” Psaki said on April 13, in response to a question about Tlaib’s comment. “The president’s view is that there are necessary outdated reforms that should be put in place, that there is accountability that needs to happen, that the loss of life is far too high, that these families are suffering around the country, that the black community is exhausted from the ongoing threats they feel.”
