Woke ‘Squad’ member under DOJ investigation

So, you’re telling me that while Rep. Cori Bush’s campaign is under the microscope for sketchy spending habits, she’s still cutting checks to her husband? Talk about playing fast and loose with other people’s money.

According to new filings, Bush’s campaign dished out another $15,000 to Cortney Merritts, her hubby, this year alone. That’s on top of the $120,000 she’s already forked over to him for supposed security services. I guess it’s good work if you can get it, huh?

Now, before you go thinking this is all above board, let’s dive into the details. Bush’s campaign claims Merritts provides top-notch security detail and that’s why he’s on the payroll. But hold on a second – turns out he didn’t even have a private security license as of last February.

And it gets even juicier. While Bush’s campaign was shelling out big bucks to Merritts, they were also dishing out hefty sums to St. Louis-based security outfits. Coincidence? I’ll let you be the judge of that.

This isn’t some minor oversight either. Watchdog groups have been raising red flags left and right, filing complaints over these fishy payments. But Bush’s campaign has been playing the silent treatment game, refusing to address the mounting concerns.

Even when confronted directly, Merritts seems to be dancing around the truth. At a recent fundraiser, he first claimed he had no role in the campaign, but then backtracked faster than a politician caught in a lie.

And let’s not forget about the cash situation. Bush might be feeling the pinch come primary time, with her opponent Wesley Bell sitting on a hefty war chest, backed by deep-pocketed Democratic donors.

A recent poll shows Bell with a comfortable lead over Bush, signaling potential trouble for the so-called “Squad” member come August. Looks like Bush’s campaign might be in need of more than just security detail – they might need a miracle to pull this one off.
