House Republicans passed a resolution condemning efforts to abolish the police, seeking to preserve resources that go toward local law enforcement despite several top party members calling to defund federal agencies such as the FBI and Justice Department.

The House voted 301-119 to pass the resolution on Thursday with 87 Democrats joining nearly all Republicans to advance the measure. Two Republicans voted against the resolution. The bill is one of several pieces of legislation being introduced this week in tandem with Police Week, a national recognition of law enforcement officers celebrated annually since President John F. Kennedy.

The resolution expresses support specifically for local law enforcement agencies, a notable change from the bill’s language in a December letter by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise that affirmed “support for the Nation’s law enforcement agencies.” Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sought to strike the word “local” from the resolution to have it apply to all law enforcement agencies, but that effort was shot down by Republicans on the panel.

The shift in tone comes as multiple Republicans have called for the defunding of federal agencies, especially after the release of the Durham Report last week.

The Durham Report detailed the FBI’s investigation into alleged links between the Russian government and then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 presidential election. The report ultimately concluded the investigation was inherently flawed as there was no proper basis to conduct it in the first place, and it also found that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s campaign played an outsize role in pushing collusion claims to the media and to the FBI.

The findings prompted Republican lawmakers to renew calls to defund agencies such as the FBI and DOJ, accusing them of being politically motivated and biased against conservatives.

“The Congress is this country’s checkbook, and we can start cutting funds to the FBI. You know, they’ve bungled so many cases as of late and they continue to do so,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) told Fox News. “That’s what we’ll have to do, we’ll have to start cutting their checkbook a little bit just to get them to the table, if that’s what it takes. And I’m for that because they’ve just not done their duty.”

The calls to defund the DOJ and FBI, even just partially, come as Republicans have sought to criticize Democrats for “soft on crime” policies such as defunding the police. The comments also stand in contrast to GOP efforts to paint itself as the party of law and order, prompting criticism from some Democrats.

There has not been legislation introduced to formally withdraw funding from the federal agencies, and such a move is likely to receive pushback from some House Republicans as well as Democrats. Even if it did manage to pass the House, it’s unlikely to pass the Senate and would face an almost certain veto from President Joe Biden.
