Rep. Ilhan Omar pushed back against former President Barack Obama after he referred to the phrase “defund the police” as a “slogan.”

“We lose people in the hands of police,” the Minnesota Democrat tweeted in response to Obama’s comment from a recent interview in which he worried that “snappy phrases” including “defund the police” are ineffective. “It’s not a slogan but a policy demand. And centering the demand for equitable investments and budgets for communities across the country gets us progress and safety.”
