Gov Half-Whit: I Was For Defund The Police Before I Was Against It, But I'm For It

Also Gov Half-Whit: I'm for defunding the police, but defund the Police doesn't mean defund the Police.

The Detroit Free Press: Whitmer says she supports 'the spirit' of 'defund the police,' then clarifies

The Detroit News: Whitmer supports 'spirit' of efforts to 'defund the police'

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said Tuesday she supported the “spirit” of efforts to defund the police in the wake of George Floyd’s death last month at the hands of Minneapolis police, a statement that her office later clarified did not indicate support for eliminating funding for law enforcement.

How very sophisticated, the word Defund means "to stop providing the money to pay for something". Now we're being told that when the progs say it, it doesn't mean that.

Verily our dear Gov Half-Whit has gotten so woke she's gone through the looking glass and is taking a page from Humpty-Dumpty:

“When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
’The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
’The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master — that’s all.” ― Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass

The Left has been toying with language and the meaning of words for years, to suit whatever their cause of the day happened to be. Just don't ask them how it is that the Democrats were the ones in charge of the police in these cities all this time. They'll probably tell you that Democrat doesn't mean Democrat.
