Former President Donald Trump spoke to the Fraternal Order of Police in Charlotte, North Carolina Friday and picked up their endorsement.
National President of the Fraternal Order of Police Patrick Yoes said in a statement that the labor organization was siding with Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance in the presidential election.
“The FOP is the number one voice of America’s law enforcement. We have a responsibility to our members, to the 700,000 sworn law enforcement officers in the United States, and to the communities they serve to do our part in determining the direction in which our country will head,” said Yoes.
Trump thanked the FOP for their endorsement and also took the time to bash Vice President Kamala Harris for wanting to defund the police in years past.
“I promise you, I will never tell you we’re gonna defund the police," Trump said during his speech. "I will only tell you that we might overfund the police.”
