Rep. Ted Budd Helps Introduce Bill to Hold Lawless Cities Accountable

Statement

Rep. Ted Budd (NC-13) joined Reps. Jim Jordan (OH-04) and Debbie Lesko (AZ-08) to introduce a bill to revoke federal aid to cities and states that refuse to prosecute individuals who were arrested for crimes committed during riots.

Rep. Budd said in a statement:

"The widespread riots and looting that have plagued our country's cities over the past several months are outrageous. We've witnessed lawless anarchists take to the streets and destroy historic monuments, vandalize and burn small businesses, physically assault a U.S. senator and his wife, and harass regular Americans who were simply enjoying an outdoor dinner. It's time to put an end to this anarchy. If liberal localities refuse to protect the safety and security of their communities, the federal government shouldn't keep footing the bill."
