Ayanna Pressley \u2014 voted with Republicans against the increased funding.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez also spent nearly $40,000 in campaign funds for private security during the first filing quarter of 2021, according to documents submitted to the Federal Elections Commission.<\/p>\n<p>Ocasio-Cortez and DSA did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Socialist Party of Ireland criticized Democratic New York Rep.
