Another day, another Democrat caught lying to voters about their radical anti-police agenda. JoAnna Mendoza, the progressive candidate vying for Arizona's 6th Congressional District, has been exposed after damning video surfaced showing her explicitly supporting the reallocation of police funding to social service programs—despite her recent denials of ever backing the 'defund the police' movement.
The bombshell footage, which has sent shockwaves through Arizona political circles, reveals Mendoza's true colors when she thought no one was paying attention. When directly asked about defunding police in 2020, Mendoza didn't hesitate to toe the radical left's party line.
"Police reform is just one aspect of addressing systemic racism in our nation, specifically here in Arizona... I support [reallocating police funding]," Mendoza stated in the unearthed video.
Social media erupted after the Republican National Committee's research team exposed Mendoza's duplicity. @RWOMC shared the damning evidence on Twitter, posting: "UNEARTHED: In 2020, Arizona Democrat JoAnna Mendoza called to 'defund the police.' Q: Would you defund police? MENDOZA: 'Police reform is just one aspect of addressing systemic racism in our nation, specifically here in Arizona... I suppor[t]'"
This is exactly the kind of political deception that hardworking Arizona families are sick and tired of. Mendoza rode the radical wave of the 2020 riots and anti-police hysteria, pandering to the far-left base that was demanding law enforcement be stripped of resources. But now that crime has skyrocketed and Americans have rejected the disastrous 'defund' movement, she's trying to gaslight voters into believing she never supported these dangerous policies.
The Pattern of Progressive Lies
Mendoza's flip-flop represents everything wrong with today's Democrat Party. When the mob demanded defunding police, she was right there with them. When reality hit and communities suffered under reduced law enforcement, suddenly she's trying to rebrand herself as moderate.
Arizona voters deserve better than politicians who will say anything to get elected. Will they see through Mendoza's desperate attempt to rewrite her radical record, or will they reward her dishonesty with a seat in Congress?
