Defund-the-police Democrats: "Suck it up"

Rapid Response

Defund-the-police Democrats think they are worth protecting, but not you and your family.

Democrat Cori Bush said the quiet part out loud when she was asked about spending $70,000 on private security while pushing to defund the police: “I’m going to make sure I have security … So suck it up. And defunding the police has to happen.”

The Democrat philosophy made plain: “Police for me, but not for thee.” What complete hypocrites.

And reminder: Biden’s Constitutionally dubious reversal on the eviction moratorium makes clear that she has the ear of Democrat leadership and the Biden administration.

Police officers around the country have called for more police to address the shortage in their departments, but defund-the-police Democrats like Bush would deny them the resources they need.

No one believes Bush should be without protection, but shouldn’t all Americans have the same privilege? To have the protection necessary to feel safe in their own homes and communities? Apparently, Bush doesn’t think so. She thinks they should “suck it up” while she employs security for herself.
