Police Defunder Ayanna Pressley Continues To Spend Thousands In Taxpayer Cash On Private Security

Far left Massachusetts and squad member Rep. Ayanna Pressley is still spending thousands on taxpayer-funded private security, despite the fact that she was one of the people who consistently called for defunding the police.

You see, it’s fine if your life is put at risk because the police are defunded, but when it comes to her personal security, cost is not even a consideration, even if she is paying for said security with your money.

And if you have a problem with that, you’re probably a racist, a sexist, or both.

The Daily Caller reports:

Rep. Ayanna Pressley Has Continued To Spend Thousands Of Taxpayers Dollars On Private Security, House Records Show

Democratic Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who has repeatedly pushed to defund the police, spent thousands of taxpayers’ dollars on private security, according to newly released Statement of Disbursements of the House records reviewed by the Daily Caller.

The Daily Caller first reported in April 2021 that Pressley and members of the far-left group in called “the Squad” spent thousands of campaign funds on private security.

Pressley spent $14,000 of her Member Representational Allowance (MRA) on “security service” between January and March 2022, according to the new Statement of Disbursements of the House records.

“The Member’s Representational Allowance (MRA) is intended for individual member offices’ expenditures and receipts during a single legislative year. The MRA is funded through fiscal year appropriations and authorized annually by the Committee on House Administration (CHA). It is non-transferable between legislative years,” the House government website states.

This is not only hypocritical, it’s deeply insulting.

She’s pushing , too.

Why doesn’t she drop her armed security first?
