“Squad” members spent thousands on private security officers, despite calls to defund police
While members of the left-wing, socialist “Squad” bashed the police and called for defunding the cops, they gave thousands of dollars to hired private security to keep them safe.
Left-wing politicians want to defund the police and take away your guns, but they have no problem hiring armed security, who are often current or former cops, to protect themselves.
This includes members of the so-called “Squad” of small cadre of left-wing, socialist politicians like AOC, who want to defund the police.
“Members of the progressive-Democrat group in Congress called ‘the Squad’ who have been pushing to defund the police, spent thousands of dollars on private security for themselves, according to Federal Election Commission,” the Daily Caller reported.
“FEC reports show Democrats New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Missouri Rep. Cori Bush each spent thousands of dollars on their own security,” the conservative news outlet reported.
The Daily Caller report goes into further details, but here are some highlights.
“In January, February, and March of 2021, Ocasio-Cortez spent $3,000 per month on a security consultant based out of Brooklyn, New York. Records show she spent a total of $9,000 for 3 months of security consulting from this one company,” the news organization reported.
“Omar, who also supports defunding the police, spent $3,103.61 on her own security in her state of Minnesota, according to her April Quarterly 2021 financial report,” the Daily Caller reported.
“Rules for thee but not for me,” Republican Arizona Congressman Andy Biggs said in a tweet slamming the hypocrites.
