[shockedcanadian]

So the best qualified person for the job in the entire country was her husband?

This is something else. In many nations in the world she would face serious consequences for this abuse of taxpayers money.

Among the people receiving cash was her husband, Cortney Merritts, who has pocketed more than $120,000 in payments since Bush added him to her campaign's payroll in January 2022.

Bush joined MSNBC’s "The ReidOut" with Joy Reid on Wednesday for a friendly interview that began with the liberal host saying they would talk about the scandal for "just a moment."

Her husband is a retired Navy Seal who has done security work for others.

Bush cleared this with the ethics office, and as a former BLM leader, she was under imminent threat from the Trump Cult.

If Trump's Thugs are going to run around threatening leftist leaders at every turn, they're going to run up huge security bills.

Right, afraid of MAGA.

You are a broken record of dishonesty and gaslighting.

You pussies threw a hissy-fit when protesters got a block away from Beer Brett's house, whining that he needs more taxpayer-funded security.

Taxpayer money or her own money? She says the latter.

She is full of shit.

Watch this video for some honest sweetness.

Paul Pelosi. The MAGA Bomber. The man arrested near the Obama home with weapons. Attacks on FBI Offices, threat to prosecutors, judges, and their staff in the Trump. Full time security anyone Trump attacks in the media.

The list is endless.

She immediately played the race card.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Well, that's nice.
Now she has to hire a LAWYER!!!!

 

[Ringo]

Direct immigration fraud. He should be immediately deported, she should be expelled from Congress and go to trial.
In practice, it is only Republicans who vote to expel their members from Congress on ethical grounds. Democrats don't care about ethics. They have no morals, only expediency.

She immediately played the race card.

When she's being attacked because she's a leader of BLM, it's hardly "playing the race card" when her position of leadership in the black community is the reason she's being targetted.

So the GOP rep told her to shut up and she would get less death threats... So she is been told not to do her job...

Husband looks very qualified to do the job and obviously the client feels safer with him than another detail.

Take off, hoser.

You right wingers keep talking about how great it is to be an American but you don't believe in ANYTHING in the Constitution at all.

Freedom means that all of the people get to believe what they want to believe, and YOU have to tolerate their right to disagree with you. You don't want anyone in America who doesn't look or think like you do.

Build a bridge and get over yourself.
