Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) named the mayors of Seattle, New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, and Portland, Oregon, as her latest Squeal Award recipients for defunding police departments then blasting President Donald Trump for cutting their federal aid.
“In cities across our country, the safety, security, and basic rights of Americans are under assault as radical politicians tolerate, and even encourage, lawlessness—and seek to defund law enforcement,” Ernst said in a statement Sept. 14 to announce the recipients.
