Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., is rejecting calls to "defund" the FBI, despite refusing to push back against the defund the police movement in years prior.

In 2020, Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., introduced a resolution opposing calls to "defund" the police in the wake of the Black Lives Matter riots.

Schumer opposed the proposal and claimed it was all "rhetoric, and no action."

While speaking on the Senate floor Tuesday to highlight a new resolution, the Democrat claimed calls to defund law enforcement are "dangerous," despite his previous voting record.

"Today I'll be introducing a resolution denouncing the former president's call to cut funding to our federal law enforcement, and senators will have to choose between standing with President Trump and his dangerous, dangerous view that we ought to cut funding for law enforcement and the FBI, or will they stand with the public servants who keep America safe?" Schumer said.
