White House Takes Aim at Far-Right Budget Plan to Combat GOP's Soft-on-Crime Accusations

The White House plans to counter Republican criticism of being soft on crime by targeting the far-right House Freedom Caucus budget plan. The White House will focus on different provisions of the budget each day of the week, starting with crime on Monday. The White House will argue that the budget would cut funding for law enforcement and make communities less safe. The White House will also highlight how the budget would increase costs on American families, hurt U.S. manufacturing, weaken national security, and be harmful to seniors.
