Being Duped: The US Citizen
What is so hard about being voted in government and going there and doing your job of representing the people of your district to the best of your ability without some form of corruption? The American people have to be losing interest in continuing to see these hypocrites continue to grandstand on issues that they feel are important regardless of the constituents’ wishes only to appease the party they are beholden to. These people have to start realizing, or we need to start holding them responsible for their actions when the signs of impropriety start showing up. Maybe a period of suspension for any government official being found with questionable integrity until such a time it is shown they are innocent.
The husband of far-left “Squad” Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri was pressed late last week on the streets of Washington, D.C., over the thousands of dollars in cash he has received from his wife’s campaign.
Fox News Digital confronted Cortney Merritts, who appeared to backtrack about his role on the campaign after initially telling the videographer he doesn’t have a role in the campaign.
Merritts has pocketed $102,500 in payments since Bush added him to her campaign’s payroll in January 2022 for what they marked as “security” payments before switching their description to “wage expenses” in April, Fox News Digital reported.
Fox News Digital has contacted her campaign several times over the past two years regarding the security payments – first, regarding the security payments in general as she pushed to defund the police, then regarding the payments to Merritts – but Bush’s campaign did not respond to a single inquiry.

As the couple left a fundraiser for California Democrat candidate Derek Marshall in D.C. Thursday night, Fox News Digital approached Merritts and questioned him over the money and his position with the campaign.
“I have a question for you,” the videographer said. “What’s your role on the campaign right now?”
“I don’t have a role in the campaign, man,” Merritts responded.
“You don’t have a role at all?” the videographer countered. “They were reporting you had wages on the campaign for security, and then it was a general wage. I was just wondering what you’ve been doing on the campaign?”
“Yeah, I mean you can Google what it is,” Merritts replied. “You can also Google what happened with the FEC report came back 5-0, that it was all completely above board.”
“So you’re not doing any more work with her campaign?” the videographer said.
