Cori Bush (D-MO) took to the House floor Thursday to claim the fear she felt during the Capitol riot brought back traumatic memories of when white supremacists and police would attack her and other African-Americans in her native St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking during a special order hour that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) organized, Bush joined several other Democratic members of Congress to reflect on the unrest of Jan. 6.<\/p>\n<p>Remembering how she moved from the House gallery to her office as protesters were breaching the building, Bush said she quickly decided that what was happening was more than just a protest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd so I remember sitting in my office with my team and just thinking to myself, I feel like I\u2019m back at this very minute, I feel like I\u2019m back,\u201d Bush said, an apparent reference to St. Louis. \u201cI feel like this was one of the days out there on the streets when white supremacists would show up and start shooting at us. This was one of the days when the police would ambush us from behind, from behind trees, and from behind buildings, and all of a sudden now we\u2019re on the ground feeling brutalized. It felt like one of those days.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I just remember taking a second thinking, if they touch these doors, if they hit these doors the way they hit that door, if they hit these doors and come anywhere near my staff\u2014and I\u2019m just going to be real honest about it\u2014my thought process was: we banging to the end. I\u2019m not letting them take out my people. And you\u2019re not taking me out. We\u2019ve come too far.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bush went on to say that Jan. 6 reminded her of Jan. 3, when she raised her hand to swear an oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic, even though, she claimed, the nation\u2019s founding document \u201cwasn\u2019t written for people who look like me\u201d and \u201ccemented an unjust nation for people like me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we cannot stand up to white supremacy in this moment, as representatives, then why did you run for office in the first place?\u201d Bush asked. \u201cWe can\u2019t build a better society if members are too scared to stand up and act to reject the white supremacist attack that happened right before our eyes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can we trust that you will address the suffering that white supremacy causes on a day to day basis in the shadows if you can\u2019t even address the white supremacy that happens right in front of you in your house? Does your silence speak to your agreement is the question,\u201d Bush continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Jan. 3, we stood together to swear an oath to office to the Constitution,\u201d Bush concluded. \u201cWe swore to defend it against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Well, it was attacked by a domestic enemy called white supremacy and we must stand together now, today, to uphold that oath and hold every single person who helped incite it accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Here&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoriBush?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CoriBush<\/a>&#8216; full speech tonight on the House floor tonight. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gO1RggE6HI\">pic.twitter.com\/gO1RggE6HI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 People for Bernie (@People4Bernie) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/People4Bernie\/status\/1357496446161883137?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 5, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/congressman-apologizes-tearfully-claims-capitol-riot-helped-him-understand-his-privilege\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Congressman Apologizes, Tearfully Claims Capitol Riot Helped Him Understand His \u2018Privilege\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
