Bush, who did not return a request for comment, defended her claim, with her campaign telling the <em>Post-Dispatch<\/em>,&nbsp;&#8220;While on the frontlines of the Ferguson Uprising, Congresswoman Bush and other activists were shot at by white supremacist vigilantes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>There is at least one shooting that occurred in the wake of Brown&#8217;s death that matches Bush&#8217;s description of coming from &#8220;behind a hill&#8221; in Ferguson. But in that instance, two police officers were shot outside the Ferguson police headquarters\u2014nearby protesters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/2015\/mar\/12\/ferguson-police-officers-shooting-shots-directed-exactly-at-officers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> the shots came from &#8220;a hill behind a dwindling group of demonstrators&#8221; who were &#8220;gathered across from the police department.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Williams, a 22-year-old black man, eventually <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/8805ddb2bd4a4ba39f148e13b3143315\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confessed<\/a> to the shooting and was sentenced to 25 years in prison.<\/p>\n<p>While Bush has argued that &#8220;investing more money in policing is always bad,&#8221; the Democrat spent nearly $70,000 on private security between April 15 and June 28. Bush in August&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/squad-member-cori-bush-defends-private-security-suck-it-up-and-defunding-the-police-has-to-happen\/\">stood by<\/a> the expenditures, telling her critics to &#8220;suck it up, and defunding the police needs to happen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So if I end up spending $200,000, if I spend $10 more on it, you know what, I get to be here to do the work,&#8221; Bush said during a CBS News appearance. &#8220;So suck it up, and defunding the police has to happen. We need to defund the police and put that money into social safety nets, because we&#8217;re trying to save lives.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to her anti-police activism, Bush <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/meet-rep-cori-bush-and-her-fellow-faith-healers\/\">spent years<\/a> working as a faith healer for a group that says it has resurrected the dead and cured a number of diseases, including AIDS, cancer, paralysis, and Bush&#8217;s own severe case of coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Cori, she had COVID, and she called me from the hospital,&#8221; Kingdom Embassy International presiding apostle Charles Ndifon <a href=\"https:\/\/freebeacon.com\/democrats\/meet-rep-cori-bush-and-her-fellow-faith-healers\/\">told<\/a> the <em>Washington Free Beacon<\/em> in May. &#8220;And 30 minutes later, she was breathing. Healed. It was that simple.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ndifon&#8217;s account was corroborated by fellow church leader &#8220;Chris Chris,&#8221; who said Ndifon &#8220;murdered&#8221; Bush&#8217;s coronavirus.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s why I walk in confidence without no face mask; that&#8217;s why I walk in confidence with no gloves,&#8221; Chris said, adding that he was &#8220;ready to go march in the streets and just, bam, hulk-smash corona.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats &#8216;Squad&#8217; member said &#8216;white supremacists&#8217; shot at Ferguson protesters  Rep.
