Chicago Pastor Corey Brooks exposes $75 million DNC security hypocrisy:
“The national leaders of the "Defund the Police" movement are in my hometown of Chicago for the Democratic National Convention this week. As a South Sider, I saw firsthand the impact of this heavily ideological movement on my neighborhood — the very neighborhood these politicians professed to be helping.
Crime shot up. Innocent civilians lost their lives to increasingly brazen criminals. Smash and grabs went up. Mobs stormed the streets. Carjackings no longer made the news. And on.
Now, I just learned the news from a local paper that the DNC is allocating $75 million in federal security funding for the protection of their politicians during the convention. Most of those funds will go to the Chicago Police Department.
Talk about blatant hypocrisy. For years, we’ve watched Defund the Police politicians like Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., spend tens of thousands of dollars on private security for themselves. Vice President Kamala Harris supported the movement. Why security for them and not us, the people? Why do we the people have to pay for their security while they, the politicians, weaken our security? How did we get so twisted?”
