According to a new report from The New York Times, the campaign of Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene spent $183,000 on security over the course of a year.
According to the analysis of her campaign finances, she spent more on security than any other current political candidate in the country.
Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17-year-old who shot and killed two men in Kenosha, Wisconsin in 2020, was employed by KaJor Group.
The Times reported that the cost of security has gone up from $1,000 a month to over $49,000 a month.
In the first quarter, she spent more on her campaign than she received in donations.
A campaign spokesman told The Daily Beast that the congresswoman had received more threats recently.
The incidents included her public spat with Jimmy Kimmel who asked where Will Smith was when he really needed him, and her criticism of Ketanji Brown-Jackson. The joke was a reference to Will Smith hitting Chris Rock at the Oscars.
The arrest of a man in March that police said threatened physical harm against Greene was cited by the spokesman.
Last month, she told CNN that he was harassing her after he confronted her on the street about texts she sent urging MarkMeadows, the former chief of staff to then- President Donald Trump, to impose martial law after the January 6 insurrection.
The Republican congressman criticized her for acting like a victim and a poor helpless Congresswoman, despite the fact that she was a school shooting survivor.
Kinzinger appeared to have been referring to the confrontation between the survivor of the shooting and the lawmaker.
A representative for Greene did not respond to the request for comment.
