Defund the Police sympathizers from the so-called “Squad” collectively spent over $325,000 on private security in 2021, after continuously promoting the radical left-wing policy, according to a report.
The Federal Election Commission (FEC) reports analyzed by Fox News revealed that Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) was one of the biggest spenders from the so-called “Squad.” Bush reportedly spent over $65,000 in the fourth financial quarter filing alone on private security, totaling approximately $200,000 combined in 2021, using firms like Peace Security and Whole Armor Executive Protection.
AD Bush, who spent the most out of all of the Squad members, was sworn into office at the beginning of last year but has been a large supporter of defunding the police. Last year, during a live CBS News interview, she said, “defunding the police has to happen,” but when confronted about hiring private security, she replied: “You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die?”
The report indicated that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) only spent about $9,800 during the fourth financial quarter filing, but in 2021 she totaled $75,000 — the second biggest spending on private security from the Squad, but tens of thousands of dollars less than Bush.
In the summer of 2020, at the height of the defund the police movement, Ocasio-Cortez, in a statement regarding the proposed budget cuts to the New York Police Department, said, “Defunding police means defunding police.”
She continued: “It does not mean budget tricks or funny math. It does not mean moving school police officers from the NYPD budget to the Department of Education’s budget, so the exact same police remain in schools.”
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) reportedly spent $30,000 on private security in 2021 after she supported “dismantling” the police department in Minneapolis in 2020.

“Defund the Police sympathizers from the so-called “Squad” collectively spent over $325,000 on private security in 2021”
More than likely WE THE TAXPAYERS collectively spent $325,000 on their security.
I want to know how they paid for this.
So they spend as much on dudes with guns for protection as they make working for the government.
Wonder how that works? 🤪
That's better...
“You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die?”
