“Congresswoman Cori Bush is, on the one hand, pushing hard to defund the police. On the other hand, she spent $70,000 on private security over just a few months, much more than the average for a congresswoman. She was asked about any complexity in pushing to defund while spending that much. ‘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. So either I spent $70,000 on private security over the last few months, and I’m here standing now and able to speak, able to help save 11 million people from being evicted,’ she said to CBS News. ‘So suck it up—and defunding the police has to happen . We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets because we’re trying to save lives.’” – Nellie Bowles
