Cori Bush was blasted for spending $70,000 on private security

Anti Police Democrat Rep. Cori Bush faced fire for telling CBS News the police need to be defunded despite having her own personal security worth thousands.

Bush, who camped outside the Capitol in protest of the first eviction moratorium, has been accused of being hypocritical for spending $70,000 on private security.

At the same time, she pushed to defund the police.

WATCH:

Bush was asked to respond to the mounting criticism by CBS anchor Vladimir Duthiers.

"They would rather I die?" Bush asked.

"You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see?"

"You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative."

Bush said she needed private security because of attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."

"So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," she added.

She suggested two options:

1: Stay on the Capitol steps and stop evictions

2: Or have a possible attempt on her life.

"I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now," she added.

She then claimed "a white supremacist, racist narrative" is trying to stifle her.

Bush was blasted for her contradictory remarks.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., wondered if he had heard Bush correctly.

"This can't be real," Cotton tweeted.

Last month, Bush introduced a bill to replace law enforcement with “community-led first responders" as crime surges across the nation.

NBC News reported the bill would establish a Division on Community Safety within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and would "focus on supporting those disproportionately criminalized by police."
