Far-left Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO), who spent thousands on her own private security last year, continues to champion the “Defund the Police” movement, despite its floundering popularity among Democrats.
“My colleagues keep telling us to wait. They keep telling us defunding the police and investing in communities won’t work,” the congresswoman tweeted. “Well their policies keep ending up with police murdering Black people. Enough patronizing. Listen to the movements that are telling you how to save lives.”
Bush’s tweet follows a comment from President Joe Biden slamming the “Defund the Police” movement and blaming guns from the crime wave in Democrat-run cities. His tougher-on-crime tone is a major shift from his campaign when he said he supported reallocating police resources — otherwise known as defunding the police.
The “Defund the Police” movement turned out to be wildly unpopular with voters of all stripes apart from far-left “progressives.” Democrat politicians and corporate media have begun denouncing the movement as fallout from defunding, anti-police rhetoric, and subsequent staffing shortages become more apparent to voters. A December poll found that a majority (61 percent) of Americans disapprove of Biden’s handling of crime nationwide.
Bush’s call to defund the police also comes as big cities across the country grapple with rising violent crime and murders. Many of the Democrat-run cities dealing with rising crime defunded their police departments following the death of George Floyd and the costly Black Lives Matter riots — a destruction which Bush vocally supported.
The National Republican Congressional Committee condemned Bush for “doubling down” on her support of the movement and criticized the Democrat Party for its attempt to shirk responsibility for its role in supporting far-left “reform” policies.
“Nobody believes Democrats are going to abandon their pro-crime agend,” NRCC Spokesman Mike Berg said.

How about defund rape and murder? Defund debauchery?
The first thing we need to do is Outlaw Hired Guns.
Any Private Citizen granted a privilege to keep ad bear arms without being infringed upon, shall be Prohibited from using that privilege in defense of others for compensation or gain.
Any privileged person found to be violating this law shall be arrested and held without bail, upon conviction, they shall be sentenced to a Mandatory LIFE Sentence.
Any person that has a privileged person in thier employ or employed on thier behalf shall be guilty of the same and subjected to the same penalty.
Thanks Marv.

Just keep her security, we don’t want her to die, like she says she would if we didn’t spend so much for her personal security for her.
I'll never be convinced they are anything more than minority activits banging their drum trying to achieve their own personal notoriety...laughing all the way to the bank.
