Congresswoman Cori Bush, who supports the 'defund the police' movement, spent $500,000 in campaign funding on private security, according to a new report.

Bush (D-Mo.), a member of 'the squad', splashed out over $100,000 on 'security services' through the third quarter of 2022 alone, according to Federal Election Commission records, seen by Fox News Digital.

Of that, $71,201.06 was paid to St. Louis-based private security company named Peace Security. The remaining $30,000 on security services went to Cortney Merrits and Nathaniel Davis, who reportedly share an address with Bush's campaign HQ.

“security” means gofers, entourage and personal servants

Once the far-lefties get elected and become wards of the government like their voters, they want the taxpayers to pay for everything.

"Defund the Police" is not about eliminating security. It's about getting the police off the backs of the reparations-by-theft crowd (and folks in the hood in general).

The seat is hers for as long as she wants it no matter what she says, does, or spends money on—unless an even more radical black challenges her.

She is so bad, she makes me pine for Lacy Clay (and the whole Clay family for that matter). None of them really did anything for their districts, but at least they were less nutty and hypocritical.

That $500,000 went into her bank account or some relatives.
