Defund the Police? Here’s How Much “The Squad” is Spending on Private Security
You’d think after convicting Derek Chauvin of “murder” in George Floyd’s 2020 fentanyl overdose that BLM and the Democrat Party would simmer down. But that didn’t work. They’re even angrier now than they were last week and are calling even louder for defunding or abolishing the police. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and the rest of the dunces in The Squad have gotten especially ear-screeching. Abolishing your police department really isn’t a big deal for them. And you’ll see why when you read about how much they’re all spending on their own private armed security to protect them.
Someone pored through the Federal Elections Commission filings of the Squad’s members. That’s public information that you can easily access yourself online, at the FEC’s website. Let’s check out the numbers.
AOC has been regaling the millions of people who adore her on social media about how policing is racist, and it needs to be abolished completely. After Pothead Bill DeBlasio cut the NYPD’s budget by a billion dollars last year, AOC complained that it wasn’t enough. She called it a “budget trick.”
According to her FEC filings, AOC has been paying $5,000 a month for private security services since last May. She paid a big bill for $25,000 for security in January of this year. When she took a trip to Houston – which is far away from her New York district – during the February ice storms, she paid $1,500 for an armed bodyguard to escort her. Another bill that she paid on January 19th was for about $4,000 for more security.
In total, Alexandria has paid nearly $30,000 for private armed security in 2021 so far.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) introduced a bill in Congress this year that would defund police departments across the country entirely, and instead would give the money to black Americans for reparations. She hates the police with a burning passion, obviously.
Pressley’s FEC filings show that she’s spent $4,200 on private security so far this year, split between firms in Massachusetts, Virginia and Washington, DC.
Another familiar name from the squad is Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), who is inexplicably still a Member of Congress. Despite the fact that she married her own brother to allegedly commit immigration fraud, student loan fraud and some other crimes, and investigations by the Department of Education, the INS and the FBI, she’s never been arrested or kicked out of office. Nor has she faced any sort of consequence for calling for white genocide in America three years ago in a speech, or for having her campaign staff literally hand cash to voters to pay for their mail-in ballots in a Project Veritas video last year.
But whatever. She says police are racist and blah-blah-blah.
According to Rep. Omar’s FEC filings, she’s paid $3,100 for private armed security services so far in 2021. Here’s an interesting tidbit about that. She only pays for security when she’s in her home district in Minnesota. Ilhan Omar doesn’t feel safe from her own constituents. She hasn’t paid for any armed guards in DC. I guess she thinks the razor wire fence, thousands of National Guard troops, and Capitol police officers who are allowed to shoot unarmed Trump supporters in the neck and murder them is enough to protect her when she’s in DC.
Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is the most newly minted member of AOC’s Squad. Bush was a former Black Lives Matter organizer in Missouri. As an open communist, she just might be the most radical Member of Congress ever elected in the United States. And she’s been on a heck of a spending spree all year when it comes to private armed security.
The Missouri congresswoman’s full-time security is handled by a firm from California, which she’s paying $5,000 a month. She paid another $1,500 for some backup security from a company in Maryland in January. In February and March, she also paid $7,700 and $8,200 to two separate private security firms in New York City.
In Q1 of 2021, this brand-new Member of Congress has spent $32,000 on private armed security to protect her. That’s a year’s salary for a deputy sheriff in a lot of parts of the country. As they dedicate their lives to wrecking the country they’re supposed to be representing, The Squad sure does seem worried about their own personal safety.

Defund These people. If these are your congresspeople, get rid of them immediately. They may want to defund the police but I don’t and millions of us want and need police. Let’s cancel these people instead. Any one would be better at this point.
It’s how communism works , to get rid of the only protection that the people have left . And get marshall law unforced . Democrates have screwed themselves and us all . And we thought they were smart ?
Question? Where are they getting the money to pay for this security? Is this coming out of their own pocket or ours?
Defund the police with guns while they hide behind fully armed security. Wonder if the are hiring the BLM/Antifa to be their AEMED SECURITY?????????????
NO IT IS CHARGED TO THE AMERICAN TAX PAYERS
Get rid of the Communists, Marxist SQUAD!!! They’re treasonous felons and criminals. Revoke all of their Congressional credentials, and throw them in jail. They hate Israel, marry their own siblings, are trying to defund the Police and despise AMERICA. Revoke their ridiculous exorbitant pay and get rid of them once and for all! The new one Cori Bush is the most radical of all, even Omar (some people did something) on 911 and the viciously Anti-semitic Tliab (a Palestinian supporter of Terrorism) They should be cuffed and arrested ASAP!
That’s how ludicrous it is that the SQUAD-FREAKS ‘security’ is paid by the taxpayers by the thousands of dollars. Minimum 5K+ each weekly! THEY HAVE TO GO!!!!
What is this idiot doing in our congress ruining our country with her screwball ideas!!! If she doesn’t like it here in America then by all means she ‘s free to try her nasty wings else where I’m sure there’s a country that would love to have this nut job I for one I’m sick of her putting our country down !!! KICK THE DAMN BITCH OUT!!!!!
They are investing too much on Private Security.
Private security won;t help you, if you defund the police They are the only thing keeping you alive liberal dem bloodsucking parasitical ticks, Go ahead defund the police.
How about defund the FBI?
Looks like our FBI-DOJ has become a personal investigatory arm of the Democrat leadership; “THE FBI BROKE INTO MY HOUSE TODAY… “12 AGENTS”! Handcuffed me and Paul. Interrogated us, searched the house, and left with my phones and laptops,” she wrote in an April 29th post. “The FBI said they were looking for Nancy Pelosi’s laptop!! So I guess that answers one question… It really did get stolen and is still at large. They tried to get me to admit that I had been in the Capital building on Jan 6th… which I hadn’t… and threatened to arrest me for obstruction of justice if I didn’t give them the answers they wanted,” she added. While an FBI spokesperson confirmed that a “court-authorized law-enforcement activity” was carried out at the Hueper residence, the agency would not comment on its potential relation to events that unfolded in the U.S. Capitol earlier this year. The FBI agents were, however, joined by at least one officer from U.S. Capitol’s police department according to Hueper. National Pulse U.Double standard again and again, Kerry out of his prior cabinet position , keep going to visit Iran, to do and say what? Giuliani the Presidents attorney under Trumps request followed up on the then “public corruption complaints” on Hunter Biden, the Double standard again, and of course then VP Biden held loans over their head unless investigation into the Biden’s was halted. Think Biden’s FBI lapdog’s went after Giuliano’s computer and evidence at his office on the Biden’s and failed to recover the additional copies and any of Giuliano’s evidence etc . They were not there, probably shipped off to his lawyer for safe keeping? Or any one of Trump’s many lawyers? God only knows where Giuliani’s investigation files are now. Guess there will be another 40 man raid on Roger Stone’s residence? This all will resurface one day, but of course not the copies the FBI held for year plus now! Joe, nice try but once again you failed, on no there goes my Legacy.
Treason is still punishable by death. All the traitors in government need to be excised.
I wonder how good these hired gun security guys are? If someone really wanted to take out one of these clowns, the security guards would probably stand down. How many emperors, kings and dictators have been taken out by their own security details?
The Private Security Guards pay; The way I see things, this money is from the tax payers funneled through the salaries that these people are paid. Guess when that money comes from???
The police and first responders are the only people who could/would help you in an emergency. If the police and first responders are defunded, how and where to the general people of the USA get help. I would guess that about 98% of the citizens could no afford the private security guards. I guess we the general public do not count to the government employees. What about all the citizens who voted these people in office (some false promise). I think the government people need to consider the general citizens of this country.
Why listen to this INBRED Bottom feeder?!? . . . she’s a Left Wing LIAR and a HYPOCRITE! One Enlightened Patriot. Team Trump and His Allies 2020 – MAGA (WE’RE NOT going away!).
Typical intellectually bereft left. Go ahead inbred trogs, DEFUND THE ONLY THING KEEPING ALIVE. Oh, and do hurry, I am tired of static targets ! Defund the police and de- life the democrats, start with the ones that you have personally identified or know.
Every sing.le member of Congress has to take an oath of office before actually being in Congress So did AOC. She and many others have gravely violated that oath. They all should be arrested.
THEY want to dismantle local police force and install a FEDERAL one that THEY can control just like all the other dictatorships
Democrats in office mean
a guaranteed rise in poverty, child molestation, child murders, terrorist attacks, crack whores and crack addicts and other typical democrat funded and supported lifestyles. Leftist politicians, rinos, and their inbred, subhuman, mouth breathing constituency will all soon grace our homes with their freshly and live harvested skin rugs. Place your order now, the waiting list gets longer every day ! Give these perverts their one and only opportunity to make a positive contribution to society. Start with the democrats in your area. All crime will grind to an immediate halt.
