As Democrats already face an uphill battle in the upcoming midterm elections, one of their own seems to be intent on making that hill higher to climb. During an interview on Tuesday, far-left “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) says she will not stop calling to ‘defund the police’.
Democrats who can see the writing on the wall have apparently asked her to knock it off – and she refuses.
Rep. Cori Bush says she's not going to stop using "defund the police" ahead of the midterms — even though that slogan took blame for Democratic losses in 2020 and some of her colleagues have specifically requested it not be used. https://t.co/wQ652gVGH8

Bush added that Democrats need to “explain” better what defunding the police actually means. But for many Americans, especially crime victims, the message of moving money from law enforcement resources to social programs, the message is loud and clear.
Most Americans want more spending on police, not less.
Many want the same level of protection that far-left activists like Bush get – after all, she spends big bucks on her own private security while demanding that police be defunded.
Dear Cori Bush,
Defund the Police is dead!!!
Seattle rejected it.
Minneapolis said no.
New York said hell to the naw naw naw!!Stop promoting reckless and dangerous rhetoric!!!!
The GOP will have a feeding frenzy like a bunch of vultures. 🐔

During the interview on Tuesday, Bush maintained that she is remembering her activist beginnings and will continue to call for defunding the police. This is not sitting well with all Democrats.
Bush says she is “absolutely” feeling pressure from her colleagues to tone it down. “I’ve had colleagues walk up to me” and say that ‘defund the police’ doesn’t help in their districts.”
One colleague in particular, Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA) is running for mayor of Los Angeles and disagrees with Bush. She says that if elected, she will bring the LAPD back to its 9,700 authorized officers. Bass stated to the Los Angeles Times,
“Whether you’ve had your car broken into, your backpack stolen, your property damaged — or you’ve seen news coverage of home robberies, or violent assaults — more and more Angelenos I speak with tell me crime has touched them personally, and they feel scared.”
Just last month, the White House admitted that the large spike in crime seen across the country is partly caused by underfunding the police.
Hahaha. A gift from Cori.
Cori Bush won't drop 'defund the police' slogan even though Dems fear it's poison at the polls

Bush showed back in August 2021 just how well she fits in with her Democrat colleagues by having the correct level of stunning hypocrisy when it was revealed that she had spent nearly $70,000 on private security for herself.
Bush’s defense was not much of a defense, just an off the charts level of self-unawareness. Bush claimed that there had been threats on her life, and that she “has too much work to do.”
She added, “So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen.”

And who is paying for her private security, I’m sure she isn’t. Typical demonrat
she belongs to the New World Order of the Chines Communist demo party
Or the MUSLIM SISTERHOOD AS HILLARY CLINTON IS!
And that gorilla Michelle Obozo!
Far-left “Squad” member Muslim Terrorist Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) says she will not stop calling to ‘defund the police’. She backs the BLM/Antifa Terrorist who MURDER, RAPE, ASSAULT, LOOT and BURN businesses and homes with people still inside.
These asinine Anti-American Terrorists in Congress all should be IMPEACHED and tried for HIGH TREASON and shot by a Military firing squad for their crimes against this Nation, and it should be done today
Include Pefo Joe Biden too! He supports Antifa and BLM! And is trying to destroy this country! And he supports the “squad!”
all of the new world order of the Chinese communist democrats in the USA should be arrested and SHOT for HIGH TREASON TODAY
Yes, this include the CCP BUTCHER of the American people Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
I agree! And start with traitor Biden!
Yes, with Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. the Chinese Communistic BUTCHER of the American people!
Defund the Squad is the answer, NOT the police !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly! Agree!
A good way to kill off those who miss the old west! She doesn’t deserve her own bodyguard! Due to fact she not paying them. But using TAXPAYERS MONEY to have someone to get shot or beaten for her ugly face!
I say take away her private security then drop her off in a choice location on St Louis. When they find her she will have been beat, robbed, raped, (yuk).
Been in St. Louis always be sure to carry & lock your doors.
This might work where you RAT TOWEL HATS came from but this is America. It`s time to defund you and banish you the hell out of the USA immediately. Go back to Somalia and fight about it.
A worthless black DemonRAT. Nothing to see here!
Crime is out of control and these lowlife morons are still talking about defunding the police,meanwhile they walk around with their own private security at the taxpayers expense,keep voting for
demonRATS and these are the deplorable people you get
I do not support defund the police, but it is very good for gun sales. Stores that sell guns in Southern IL are sold out of firearms and ammo. Smith & Wesson ane Strum Ruger stock is traded on the Nasdaq and their stock is soaring. Keep up the good work. I own stock in both companies
How easily the Democrats push the Defund the Police movement *(Thanks, 0bama!) and sit back and watch the crime spread, murders rise, and individuals suffer. It’s just as outrageous as endorsing Antifa & BLM to go around the country and terrorize various areas… maiming, attacking, destroying & burning with impunity.
Those dirtbags Biden, Harris & Wino Pelosi all support BLM & Antifa! While they were killing, burning & looting cities Wino Pelosi praised them! She said it was “Democracy in action!”
Obviously, she believes that innocent people who are victims of crimes deserved what they got and the police are just there to bully black people. The sad thing is she will be supported by people who are every bit as stupid as she is, but who don’t have the money for private security. If they had the money for private security, Cori would probably be attacking them too for violence against criminals just trying to get by.
The whole corrupt “squad” need to be shot for treason! These corrupt b____es want to destroy this country! They do not belong in our government!
