"Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace in a new interview shut down President Trump's claim that presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden is in favor of defunding the police.
The president blamed a recent rise in violence in Chicago, New York and other major cities on Democratic leadership, saying urban centers are "stupidly run." When Wallace noted that Democrats have led cities for decades, Trump suggested the increase in killings was because of the defund the police movement.
"Itβs gotten totally out of control and itβs really because they want to defund the police, and Biden wants to defund the police," Trump said in a clip of the interview, which will air in its entirety on Sunday.
"Sir, he does not," Wallace interjected.
