Missouri Rep. Cori Bush, a Democrat who has continually pushed defunding the police, has splashed almost $70,000 on private security, according to campaign filings.
$54,120.92 in payments were sent by Bush's campaign between April 15 and June 28 for "security services" to a New York-based firm called RS&T Security Consulting, Federal Election Commission records show.
Over the same period, Bush's campaign also paid $15,000 to Nathaniel Davis for "security services."
The $69,120 in security payments were over a third of Bush's $197,000 in campaign expenditures in the second quarter, the FEC records reveal.
The figure is almost double what her campaign spent on private security during the first quarter.
Although RS&T's website is no longer active, a cached version shows the group provides "executive protection agents" that provide "first-class executive protection and security for national and international figures."
The address in the filings is the same as Bush's campaign headquarters.
Despite Bush's campaign spending thousands on private security, she is an outspoken critic of law enforcement and starch advocate of defunding the police.

How much of that 69k do you think she pocketed. She probably won't be able to prove where the money went.. Just like most democrats she is a thief and a liar. I hope one day we will be able to work with some reasonable democrats.
