Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO)’s campaign has spent over $130,000 for personal security services for the congresswoman, despite her longtime efforts to defund the police.

Reports of the spending surfaced again with the release of campaign spending numbers from the Federal Election Commission.

When Bush was asked about security spending, she claimed her safety is separate from people’s claim that police keep the general public safe.

“Some critics say that move is hypocritical. What’s your response to those critics?” CBS asked.

"They would rather I die? You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? So either I spent $70,000 on private security over the last few months, and I’m here standing now and able to speak. Or – I could possibly have a death attempt on my life.

Moreover, the protection is needed because the threats are coming from white supremacists, Bush claimed:

"I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now. I have private security because they, the white supremacist racist narrative that they drive into this country. The fact that they don’t care that this black woman that has put her life on the line."

Fox News reported:

The cash was dished out to a handful of firms, including Peace Security, RS&T Security Consulting, Aegis Logistics, Whole Armor Executive Protection & Security, and Nathaniel Davis, whose payments are sent to the same address as her campaign headquarters. Bush has now pushed more than $130,000 from her campaign’s coffers into private security services over the past six months.

Shortly after Bush’s vigorous defense of the payments, St. Louis’ KMOV4 discovered through obtained surveillance camera footage, that Bush had hired two sheriff’s deputies, Tylance Jackson and Maurice Thompson, as part of her security.

Cops that would work for Corrie Bush are probably not individuals that we would really want to trust with a badge and a gun . . .

And probably her buddies own the firms getting the security jobs.
Impressive grifter for a freshman Congress member!

Idiots like her are totally incapable of introspection. They only know how to criticize and blame others.

Holy cow. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d have to give her a 2, but that’s only because I’ve never seen a 1.

Maybe Lacey Clay should run against her as a Republican. He is a libtard, but Corrie Bush is just plain STUPID. There are several RINOS in Congress that are almost as far left as Clay.
