Pennsylvania 8th Congressional District Debate

Published | Video Starts at 28:07

A young person asked me about defunding law enforcement. I said no. And this person asked me a different question. The answer was yes. My opponent took that audio tape and doctored the tape to make it sound like I said yes to the defunding the police question. One of the most dishonest, dishonorable things I've ever heard. That's what he did. That is a New York lawyer lie. Let me tell you what I did. (28:07–28:15)
