HYPOCRISY: Pro 'DefundPolice' Lawmaker AOC Pays ex-Blackwater Contractor For Security

Marxist far-left United States congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-cortez(D-NY) reportedly paid thousands in personal security cost to ex-Blackwater contractor.

Tullis Worldwide Protection is a Virginia-based company owned by Devin Tullis, whose other clients include the royal families of both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Tullis worked for Blackwater, now known as Academi, a private military company founded by former Navy Seal Erik Prince. The company achieved infamy in the United States for furnishing some of the rougher military contractors during the Iraq War.

Tullis reportedly said he hires former military and law enforcement for protection jobs with VIPs — noting that the gig wasn’t for the faint of heart.

AOC is the leader of the far-left defund the police movement since coming to U.S. Congress, and has insisted the idea would turn blighted communities into suburban paradises.

When New York City moved to defund a billion dollars from the New York Police Department, AOC slammed the measure as insufficient. “Defunding police means defunding police,” the congresswoman said in a statement at the time.

According to Federal Election Commission records, the Tullis money was just a small piece of the more than $34,000 the Marxist congresswoman has spent on private security and consultants in the first half of 2021. The lion’s share of the cash — $28,498 — was spent locally, at New York’s own Three Bridges, LLC, which bills itself as part of “a new generation of the private security industry.”

Another $1,552 was given to 24 & 7 Security & Investigation in Houston, which provided security for the congresswoman when she was in town to help raise money after the city was rocked by a devastating winter storm. Owner Joe Orsak said he assigned a former US Army special forces veteran to watch her. “We got connected to [AOC] through another representative that is a family friend of his,” Orsak said.

Other vocal members of the defund the police movement in congress have also reportedly paid for private personal security, including Marxist black Democrat congressman Jamaal Bowman.
