This is well beyond pretending not to know things, this is just plain lying in an effort to rewrite history.
DC Mayor attended an Axios sponsored “What’s Next” summit to discuss the future of policymaking, business and politics. According to Axios, Mayor Bowser denied ever supporting the “Defund the Police” movement in her city; however, the truth is the opposite. The mayor even supported the movement as it was painted on the road outside her office:
(Via Axios) D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser on Tuesday said she “never supported defunding the police” and talked up her plan to hire up the city’s police force to 4,000 officers — with 30% made up of women cops by 2030.
What she’s saying: “We and many cities across the country are facing spikes in violence, and we’re throwing every resource that we have in curbing that violence,” Bowser said.
[…] D.C. hit 227 homicides last year, the fourth year of rising murders, sparking renewed debate over public safety in the nation’s capital.

- Bowser’s new $19.5 billion budget proposal would hire more cops to reach a 4,000 officer force within nine years, starting with a net increase of roughly 40 officers next year. (read more)

Hang around a one-legged tribe long enough, and sooner or later you’re going to start limping.
Of course she lies, she’s a democrat, progressive, and hates America.
Black people are the primary victims of the black ‘elite’ and their far-left virtue signaling.
Bowser gets to live safely.
That’s a nice way of saying that they’re morons.
One of the most appalling things about politicians, particularly DEM politicians, is the way they can tell bald-faced lies that are easily exposed, and do it with a perfectly straight face.
Roaches run for cover when the lights come on!
That’s a pretty big “Defund The Police” on her city’s street. She also has Black Lives Matter painted on her city’s street promoting racism but doesn’t seem to understand the bigotry.
I can’t wait for the first of the 900 busloads of illegal aliens sent by Texas to DC arrives. She made her corrupt bed and can suffer with the consequences. Make the us legislators show up for work in the Capital Building every day and don’t allow them to use ZOOM and teleconference calls to do the people’s work.
