AOC Calls For Defunding Police for the regular "Szlub" on the Street, but for herself She Hired Private Guards

 

A view of Federal Election Commission records indicates New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paid thousands to a former Blackwater contractor for security.

According to the New York Post, Ocasio-Cortez, who has been a vocal proponent of defunding the police, had her campaign pay at least $4,636 for “security services” to Tullis Worldwide Protection.

Since she arrived in Congress, Ocasio-Cortez has insisted that shifting resources out of police departments and into communities is the best way to help those struggling.

“[Suburban] communities have lower crime rates not because they have more police but because they have more resources to support healthy society in a way that reduces crime,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a 2020 social media post.

After New York defunded billions from police, Ocasio-Cortez maintained that “defunding police means defunding police.”
