Cori Bush defends calling to defund the police while having private security: 'You would rather me die?'
'I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now'
"They would rather I die?" Bush asked. "You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know because that could be the alternative."
Bush said she would ensure she has security because she has had attempts on her life and has "too much work to do."
"So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen," she added.
