Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) clashed Tuesday with Gregory Jackson Jr., a former Biden White House adviser on gun violence, in a fiery exchange over police funding and the meaning of “two-spirit people.”

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Hawley grilled Jackson over a policy report produced by Community Justice Action Fund, the organization Jackson now advises. The report advocated shifting resources away from police departments and toward community-led initiatives, including “safe space programs led by lesbian, gay, bisexual, two-spirit, trans, and gender nonconforming people.”
