Could radical representative Cori Bush’s hypocrisy be coming back to bite her?

Boston reverend Eugene Rivers III says that Rep. Cori Bush should be arrested for “Political and ideological malpractice” after calling for defunding the police while spending thousands of dollars for personal security.

According to Fox News:

“The call for the defunding police is not wrong, it’s absurd and ridiculous,” Rivers, a community activist who served as an advisor for the Bush and Clinton administrations to work on faith-based initiatives, argued on “Fox & Friends” on Friday. “It is absolutely an intellectual and ideological crime against Black people to talk about defunding the police.”

“Ms. Bush should be arrested for political and ideological malpractice,” he added. “It is absurd.”

Rep. Cori Bush has spent over $70,000 on personal security just this year.

Rivers noted that in “Boston, which has, as a result of good policing that has been supported by the Black community, we actually have a decline in violence.” He attributed the drop to supporting law enforcement and developing “the best partnerships that exist in the country and function as a prototype.”

“If we can get a national campaign where faith communities work hand-in-hand with law enforcement, we can objectively reduce violence as has been the case in the city of Boston, which is a national model,” Rivers stressed.

Rivers went on to say the model “is the answer to Black Lives Matter.”
