ALBANY — U.S. Rep. Elise Stefanik talks often about her support for police and derides Democrats for supposedly wanting to strip law enforcement of funding.

Consider what Stefanik (or somebody who works for her) tweeted on Monday: "America is facing a #CrimeCrisis due to the failed Far Left policies of Joe Biden & radical Dems. Defunding the police hurts every community!"

And on Tuesday: "Dems’ mantra 'Defund the Police' was one of their top policy & messaging points in 2020 ... GOP has always supported increasing funding for police!"

But a recent legislative scorecard compiled by a organization representing rank-and-file cops suggests that Stefanik's pro-police rhetoric doesn't match her voting record.

1. Oh, Good Grief! That's what she ran on. Her campaign ads were cringeworthy

She stood there with arms folded surrounded by tough looking uniformed male police officers and her campaign signs said "Back the Blue!" I occasionally see one of them still up in someone's yard.
