Cops Are Worse Than 'Pigs'; Police Should Be Defunded, Biden Staffer Says in Deleted Tweets

We live in a period where an errant tweet with an impolitic or inappropriate message, no matter how old, can cost you everything. Yes, you may have been young and callow when you said it, but you’ve grown — so it’s OK, right? Nope. Once it’s unearthed, you’re done.

Well, check that. If you’re a conservative or conservative-adjacent, that’s the case. If you’re a liberal like Sara Pearl, who not too long ago retweeted a meme saying police are worse than pigs, things are likely to be a bit different.

Pearl is a staffer for former Vice President Joe Biden’s Democratic presidential campaign whose social media activity has garnered a bit of attention in recent days. She’s not quite high or low on the totem pole, being a senior video producer. However, a series of her deleted tweets have put the Biden campaign in an awkward position.

According to Fox News, the problems began on June 1, when Pearl tweeted “#DefundPolice.” A few days later, she tweeted that the Buffalo police “need to be held accountable!!!!” Another tweet reported by Fox News, now apparently deleted, said that the Buffalo police needed to be “defunded immediately.”

While she wasn’t yet under the employ of the Biden campaign at the time, Biden has specifically said he wouldn’t take any actions to defund police.

On July 1, Pearl announced she’d started with the Biden campaign; she’d previously been with Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders’ camp during his primary run, so the lateral move wasn’t much of a surprise.
