Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) delivered an emotionally charged rant on the House floor on Tuesday, scolding her colleagues for their plan to censure Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) over her recent pro-Hamas, anti-Israel, and anti-Semitic comments.
Bush defended Tlaib, who was ultimately censured after sharing video of Michiganders chanting genocidal anti-Semitic slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” — and then accusing President Joe Biden of supporting “genocide” when he said that the United States would stand with Israel in the wake of the October 7th Hamas terror attacks.
Bush’s speech, delivered in a series of breathless bursts, began as a defense of Tlaib and quickly went sideways as she turned and condemned the very body she was addressing, claiming that Congress had “enslaved black people” and continued to yell even after her time expired and her mic was cut off.
Leading off with the race card, Bush claimed that Tlaib was only under fire because no one cared about or had empathy for people who “look like” her. “It’s outrageous that my colleagues are blatantly — blatantly — attempting to silence the only Palestinian American representative right here. It’s outrageous, but it’s not surprising.”
“Let me tell you, it’s not surprising because this place … is where 1,700 members … this elected body … enslaved black people,” she continued, and she began gasping for air to punctuate each point. “It’s not surprising, because they thought it was right.”
Who the Hell votes these people into office in the first place? Hard to believe there are that many people of voting age that are dumber than she is!!!
I can’t believe anyone would give this dumbass a moment of their time. I’ve meet smarter humans in my 3yr olds daycare, and I mean amongst his peers. She is nothing more than an uneducated race baiter with victim mentality!
Tlaib should be Thrown OUT of Congress & Govt everywhere !!!!!!!
