Rep. Cori Bush Reveals Investigations Into Security Spending
The Spin
Republican narrative
The hypocrisy and irony of Cori Bush incessantly demanding for police to be defunded while paying hundreds of thousands for private security is untenable. Bush has previously argued that it's time for people to"suck it up" and defund the police — it's time for her to face the consequences of the illegal abuses of her government office.
Democratic narrative
Cori Bush — like many members of the female- and minority-led Squad — continues to be the target of dangerous threats and incessant criticism from the far right. Paying family members a fair price for services using campaign finance is legal. This brings to question whether she would face such scrutiny from the right if she hadn't been a leader in the Black Lives Matter movement.
