Fox News Digital first reported on Bush's security payments in July 2021, which prompted questions from CBS News about the cash and whether it was hypocritical to hire security while pushing to defund law enforcement.
"They would rather I die?" Bush asked. "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know, because that could be the alternative."
Bush said she would ensure she has security because she has had attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."
"So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," she added.
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.
The discovery led to the termination of Jackson and Thompson, who had failed to get approval for the side gig, St. Louis Sheriff Vernon Betts said at the time.

“You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see?”
Yes.
Hippocritighettopotamus...
An entitled ghettopotumus.
Funny how she seems fine with US dying.
Typical liberal hypocrite.
She of the Carpet-weave braids sold deep discount at Walgreens
Security for me, but not for thee. Oh, the hypocrisy.
What an American treasure.
Well, as Animal said in Full Metal Jacket: "Better you than me."
Just one aspect of this story....she goes and hires two deputies to fill this role as ‘private protection’ and the total expenditure is $300k? For two guys?
I’d be asking if the two deputies reported this income to IRS. I’d have my doubts on the reported income for both state and federal tax officials.
FILTHY APE
I wonder how she treats her rent-a-cops.
How does she finance this, anyway. Congress critters do not make $300K a year. Does she have a fake charitable foundation like the Clintons and John Lewis, or a bag man relative, like Foe Brandon?
So inspiring. There’s no end to the derision we can heap on her. She brings out the white Supremacist in me. I just can’t get enough of Diana Ross. My tiny white members stiffens merely at her memory. Then I look at Cori Bush, and it sags and shrivels.
Speaking of Cori Bush, what’s the deal with her alleged ex-husband? Trying to find any info on the guy is harder than heck...
St. Louis can do what they want. I don’t live near there. What do I care? I think of it as a laboratory where an experiment is being run.
Those security guards have no honor.
Some animals are more equal than others.
