‘Squad’ Member Cori Bush Employs Pro-Gun Private Security Firm

Rep. Cori Bush (D., Mo.), a leading socialist member of Congress who wants to defund the police, spent tens of thousands of dollars on a right-wing private security firm that promotes the Second Amendment.
Bush, a member of the far-left "Squad," spent more than $90,000 on Peace Security LLC, a private security firm, since she took office last year, according to campaign finance documents reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. She spent more than $50,000 on the firm in the last quarter alone.
The hiring of the security firm contrasts with the anti-police, pro-gun control agenda Bush promotes on Capitol Hill. Although Bush says that restricting the public’s access to firearms will make Missourians safer, her private security force regularly shares Facebook posts expressing right-wing views on gun control.
