Democrat Conor Lamb: Defund the Police, Fracking Ban Led to Democrats Losing Seats – By Sean Moran (Breitbart) / Nov 9 2020
Rep. Conor Lamb (D-PA) said in an interview Sunday that calling for defunding the police and a ban on fracking led to Democrats losing seats.
Lamb, who just narrowly beat Republican Sean Parnell in Pennsylvania’s 17th Congressional District, told the New York Times that Democrats pushing for defunding the police and fracking led to Democrats losing seats in the House.
Lamb said:
I’m giving you an honest account of what I’m hearing from my own constituents, which is that they are extremely frustrated by the message of defunding the police and banning fracking. And I, as a Democrat, am just as frustrated. Because those things aren’t just unpopular, they’re completely unrealistic, and they aren’t going to happen. And they amount to false promises by the people that call for them.
Lamb added that the “rhetoric and the policies” have “gone way too far.”
