(Rallying Patriots) – Democrats are hypocrites. Time and time again they prove this. While screaming to defund the police, Democrats have never abandoned their own personal security details.
Now, one such Democrat is making headlines after her security detail pushed a man to the ground and seemed to threaten him.
Democratic Rep. Val Demings (FL) is a former Orlando police chief and you’d think that might make her pro-law enforcement but you’d be wrong. She’s been an outspoken proponent of progressive efforts to cut police funding.
During a 2020 interview with CBS, she said the rabidly anti-police Minneapolis City Council was being “very thoughtful” with its decisions to cut funding for the city’s police. In the end those funding cuts proved to be disastrous for the city.
Even worse, in 2017, while Antifa inspired violent riots all over Berkeley, California, and around the US, Demings, a newly elected member of Congress, said the violence and chaos was a “beautiful sight.”
Demings is nothing short of an unhinged, radical leftist but what’s good for the goose isn’t always good for the gander. While she has supported the defunding of police around the country, she isn’t giving up her own personal security detail and her security detail appears to be made up of armed thugs.
Demings is currently running to win the Democratic nomination so that she can challenge Sen. Marco Rubio for his seat in November. It was during a visit with campaign supporters that her security staff took a man down to the ground, which is now being investigated by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, according to FloridaPolitics.
The video shows two individuals struggling for position at the meet and greet event at a public park in Brevard County but then the unnamed man is blocked by security from entering.
Security guards can be heard telling the man “Don’t do it,” before tackling him to the ground and telling him, “You can’t get up. Stay down.”
“What are you doing?” the man is heard saying.

After the initial altercation, as the security guards escort the man away, they can be heard talking. During this conversation one of the security guards seems to make a clear threat regarding the man’s future.

“Moving forward don’t take it personal,” the guard said.
“Take what personal?” the man asked.
“What’s going to happen to you,” the guard replied.
According to FloridaPolitics, the guards are employees of Ardent Protection, a company hired by Demings’ campaign.
“The security personnel pushing the man to the ground appears to be Constantino Georgudis, an executive protection officer for Ardent Protection, and Wayne Bacon, vice president of the company,” the FloridaPolitics reported.
In the second clip, the man FloridaPolitics suggested may be Bacon based on the experience he describes corresponding to his LinkedIn page, is heard to boast, “In corrections, I used to bounce people like you off their head in the jail.”
On Twitter, Christina Pushaw, former spokeswoman for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who now works for his re-election campaign, pointed out Demings’ glaring hypocrisy.
Democrats are for defunding police except for their own private security, which they will use to beat up their opponents. https://t.co/nRGHiJym2U

“Democrats are for defunding police except for their own private security, which they will use to beat up their opponents,” she wrote.
The man shoved to the ground in the video has still not been identified but is believed to be a video tracker, which is an operative that takes video footage of political campaigns for their opponents.
He was reportedly treated at a nearby hospital for minor abrasions and bruises.
