- Progressive House Democratic “Squad” member and vocal “Defund the Police” advocate Rep. Cori Bush has gotten herself an extra layer of personal protection — marrying a member of her security detail who was paid by her campaign.
- The anti-cop Bush (D-Mo.) got hitched to Cortney Merritts in a private ceremony in St. Louis earlier this month, news station KSDK first reported Sunday.
- Bush chief of staff Abbas Alawiesh confirmed the nuptials in a statement Monday, saying, “With heartfelt congratulations, I am happy to confirm that Congresswoman Cori Bush married the love of her life, Cortney Merritts, this month.”
