Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo. reportedly got married in a private ceremony in St. Louis last weekend, to a hired security guard who was paid to work on her campaign, according to reports.
NBC station KSDK in St. Louis reported that Bush and security guard Cortney Merritts filed for a marriage license on Feb. 11 at the St. Louis Recorder of Deeds. The station also reported that sources said the newlyweds were married in a private ceremony just days after filing for the license.
Bush is one of the most outspoken federal politicians when it comes to defunding the police, and as of two months ago topped more than $500,000 in private security detail expenses, according to filings.
Between Oct. 20 and Nov. 28, the Missouri lawmaker’s campaign spent $38,528.63 on "security services," which primarily flowed to the St. Louis-based Peace Security. The firm employs several "security officers" with military or law enforcement experience, despite her opposition to them.
The new security payments came after Bush’s campaign spent $490,000 on security during the 2022 election cycle, taking the total amount over the half-million-dollar mark.
Merritts, according to KSDK, is a U.S. Army veteran, and campaign records show the Bush campaign paid him $62,359 in 2022. Most of the money paid to Merritts was for security services, though $2,359 was filed as cash reimbursement.

Cori stopped at the Mall, went and found herself a Mall Cop for her very own!
Or maybe it happened the other way.
Another angry black hag. He’ll be neutered in record time.
Wait, she married a GUY?
So where is a pic of the guy?
/eyeroll
Guess she has a thing for men with guns.
Don’t post comments like that on this site.
Whishing ill on someone is what Democrats do, and it’s also kinda racist. The libs are always looking to blame FR for stuff like this, and you just gave them ammunition.
He’ll be on her payroll in charge of security...good way to launder money.
She’s not real. Somebody dreamed her up. She walks. She talks. She does stuff, but she’s a nightmare.
So I guess “dating” a subordinate is no longer sexual harassment.
Nevermind. Clinton cleared that up years ago.
