Oregon’s senior Senator is laser-focused on funding socialist spending with harmful tax hikes while ignoring much-needed funding for police
Washington, D.C. – While the largest city in Ron Wyden’s state can’t find enough police officers to combat their rising homicide rate, Wyden – the high-tax champion – isn’t batting an eye. His sole focus these days is finding ways to pay for the radical Left’s outrageous $3.5 trillion (really, $5 trillion) spending bill.
It doesn’t matter that Portland is in this mess due to Wyden and Democrats’ cries to ‘defund the police.’ Funding the radical Left’s spending spree is far more superior in his book.
Statement from NRSC Spokeswoman Lizzie Litzow: “Ron Wyden’s negligence to his state’s crime surge coupled with his commitment to the radical Left’s spending spree is downright reckless for Oregonians and the country. Wyden needs to get his priorities straight and his top priority should be the safety of his constituents.”
