Cori Bush Spent $70K on Private Security

Republicans are salivating over a CBS News interview in which Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) defended spending $70k on private security for herself as a member of Congress — while also saying Democrats should defund the police.

Said Bush: “I’m going to make sure I have security. I get to be here to do the work, so suck it up — and defunding the police has to happen. We need to defund the police.

Playbook: “Our sources tell us that the NRCC has already started weaving Bush’s interview into their attack ads on frontline House Democrats.”
