Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez paid thousands for personal security to a former Blackwater contractor, a review of Federal Election Commission records shows.
AOC’s campaign dropped at least $4,636 at Tullis Worldwide Protection for “security services” between January and June of this year according to the filings.
The Franconia, Virginia-based company is owned by Devin Tullis, whose other clients include the royal families of both Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, according to his website.
AOC has been among the most vocal proponents of the defund the police movement since coming to Congress, and has insisted the idea would turn blighted communities into suburban paradises.
“[Suburban] communities have lower crime rates not because they have more police but because they have more resources to support healthy society in a way that reduces crime,” she said in a June 2020 Instagram story.
When New York City moved to defund a billion dollars from the NYPD, Ocasio-Cortez slammed the measure as insufficient. “Defunding police means defunding police,” the congresswoman said in a statement at the time.
In addition to Blackwater, Tullis also worked as a bail enforcement officer, according to his LinkedIn profile.
He refused to get into the specifics of his contract with the congresswoman, but said he frequently hired former military and law enforcement for protection jobs with VIPs — noting the gig wasn’t for the faint of heart.
“We’re not hiring social workers,” he laughed.

She has done nothing for the community. She replaced Crowley who .... did nothing for the community. And she will be re-elected unless she acts stupid like the jerk she replaced.
The problem is that immigrants, even second or third-generation immigrants, as a rule, know squat about the duties of a citizen that were created in small-town New England. It's for good reason that urban places like NYC ensure that they never learn in schools or civic groups.
Sorry, Mederterian Hillbillies do nothing for the republic.
This is the definition of progressive hypocrisy. Do as I say not as I do.
AOC basically grew up in the suburbs so that's all she knows. In fact, she spent most of her formative years OUTSIDE of New York City. Up in Westchester for high school, outside of NYC for college. She has no clue. Anyway, she can go live on the army base with Jumanee during the next Bronx Purge.
Well, she’s got to protect herself from right wing terrorists. She has every right to do so. $4,636 is peanuts nowadays.
Why rely on a bunch of clowns who spend most of their day staring at their phones and chomping doughnuts?

Suburban communities with lower crime rates are due to the residents of those communities, much like "good schools" have good students.
This is DEAD ON news reporting of the REAL type!
The worst part is knowing while those around you don't care.

"She has done nothing for the community. She replaced Crowley who .... did nothing for the community"
That's what the politicians do these days...nothing, nothing and more nothing.
Remember forcing someone to think like you when they give their perspective isn't diversity.

So? Hire the best!
I’d employ a former CIA or KBG guy to do my security.
