Opinion | Hold Cori Bush and ‘Squad’ Democrats accountable for campaign finance violations WashTimesOpEd
members like Ms. Bush have routinely contradicted their public stances with their own actions, giving a new name to liberal hypocrisy.
Ms. Bush, a defender of the “defund the police” platform, was recently exposed for paying her now-husband $62,359 for private security last year. Despite not having a private security license, Ms. Bush’s husband, Cortney Merritts, was one of several bodyguards on her payroll, which has hypocritically included hundreds of thousands of dollars in private security payments despite Ms. Bush’s anti-police rhetoric.
Dig a little deeper and it gets even worse for Ms. Bush. By subsidizing Mr. Merritts’ lifestyle, Ms. Bush may have repeatedly violated federal campaign finance laws, using campaign funds for personal use. According to a recent Committee to Defeat the President complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission, Ms. Bush broke the law by falsely reporting the purpose of her disbursements to her current husband.
Now, the FEC is investigating Ms. Bush’s utter disregard for the law, and for good reason. The Department of Justice and the Office of Congressional Ethics should similarly take a hard look at the activist congresswoman, determining where and how her campaign funds were spent — and to what extent the expenditures were unlawful.
