As RedState reported, Cori Bush recently got married. But the fact that she found someone to put up with her wasn’t the surprising part. Rather, it was that the man, Courtney Merritts, was previously paid $60,000 by Bush’s campaign to provide security services.
Even at first glance, the situation seemed suspicious. Was this really just a serendipitous example of workplace love? Or was Bush using the relationship as a way to funnel money back to herself?
Well, that question just got a heck of a lot more complicated because Fox News is reporting that Merritts does not have a security license in Missouri.
Merritts, however, pocketed the security payments despite not having a St. Louis private security license, which is needed to perform security functions in the area, Fox News Digital has discovered. Merritts also received the campaign’s cash as it simultaneously paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a St. Louis security firm and another individual for personal protection.
Fox News Digital filed a public records request with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department on Monday morning seeking information regarding Merritts’ private security license. In response, a Sunshine Law administrator said there are “no responsive records” relative to the request, and Merritts does not have a current license.
That’s a problem because having a security license is required in Missouri to offer security services, and you would assume Merritts would have provided his “services” in Bush’s district (especially given their personal relationship). Further, as the report notes, Bush’s campaign shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in other payments to real security firms at the same time. That seems like a rather odd dynamic, does it not?
Typical! To be expected!
She is one of the worst of the worst! She is highly racist and unqualified for any office. She needs to go!!
