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!
Well, now that you mention it,...
All Bond villains also had their own Personal Security , didn’t work out ,LOL
Well, now, She is so much more equal, in other words, Cory Bush is an elitist snot.
We second that motion x 1,000,000,000,000.
Die, ignorant DemocRAT, die, die, die.
Oh, put some suffering after each comma.
Let's play the feud!
News Flash: Corrie Bush is acting like a politician (a/k/a a total hypocrite).
Yawn.
“They would rather I die? You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That is what she wants for everyone else.
All we need to dois make it Illegal to use a Privilege to Keep and Bear arms for the Defense of Others for Compensation or Gain.
A loudmouth uneducated anti-white loser.
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.
She’s race hunting....I give her a zero for her research.
Some of the animals on the farm are obviously more equal than others.
They would rather I die? You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die?
Honey, I would cash in my retirement and pay it all for a pay per view to see you play with pitbull with a pork chop around you neck.
Here's a possibility for a 1 (Rep. Rosa Delauro, D-Conn):
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.
