Cori Bush (D-MO) rushed to defend hardened criminals that were rioting in a St. Louis prison after attacking a corrections officer on Saturday, a move that drew instant criticism given her response to the riot that broke out at the U.S. Capitol Building last month.<\/p>\n<p>The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the riot inside the City Justice Center broke out during the early morning hours on Saturday when an inmate who was mad at one of the guards decided to attack the guard, at which point other inmates joined in. Eventually, well over 100 inmates broke free from their jail cells and started a riot, breaking windows and setting fires. Authorities did eventually regain control of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese were just very angry, defiant, very violent people that we house at the Justice Center,\u201d the city\u2019s director of public safety, Jimmie Edwards, told reporters. \u201cNo one at the Justice Center is housed for a misdemeanor, a municipal offense or a low-level felony. Everybody housed at the Justice Center is housed there because of very serious offenses like assault on police officers and homicide and things of that sort.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bush rushed to defend the criminals over the weekend, quoting Martin Luther King Jr.: \u201cA riot is the language of the unheard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to talk to my constituents in the window. Their lives and their rights must be protected,\u201d Bush tweeted. \u201cMy team and I are working to ensure that the urgent needs of people who are incarcerated are not ignored.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cA riot is the language of the unheard.\u201d \u2013 Dr. MLK Jr.<\/p>\n<p>I want to talk to my constituents in the window.

Long before today, our jails have been notorious for their unsafe and unsanitary conditions.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We have an incarceration crisis. To date, 1 in 5 incarcerated people nationally has tested positive for COVID-19, including many across the City of St. Louis. I am concerned that the conditions for people who are incarcerated pose serious risks to their health, safety, and wellbeing as well as that of those who work there.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I am calling for complete transparency and accountability from the city of St. Louis. Officials must publicly disclose the city\u2019s COVID-19 testing protocols, case rate and hospitalization data, vaccination plans, use of solitary confinement, and transfer procedures for its local jails. Additionally, following two previous uprisings at CJC, our community needs information about any actions taken to address concerns raised by people in detention, some of whom are simply being held because they cannot afford bail.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I have been in contact with local government officials and community leaders since I became aware of the incident early this morning. My team and I are taking steps to reach out to the impacted families and communities to figure out the path forward to justice. <strong>I want to ensure that the demands made by those being held at CJC are not ignored, and I plan to investigate this further.<\/strong> There needs to be a plan to improve conditions and decarcerate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>My thoughts are with all those who have been harmed or injured during today\u2019s events. To everyone involved, especially those in the system and their families, know that you have a Congresswoman who loves everyone in our community and who wants to hear directly from you. If you have information about the conditions that people who are incarcerated are living under in our community\u2014or for any other needs my office can help you with during this time\u2014please call or leave a message with my office at 314-955-9980 to share your story.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bush has also expressed support for some of the most violent and heinous criminals in the criminal justice system, calling on people to \u201csay [the] names\u201d of \u201c13 people murdered by Trump\u2019s death row killing spree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The list of names included a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-attorney-general-william-p-barr-execution-daniel-lewis-lee\">white supremacist murderer;<\/a>&nbsp;a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-wesley-ira-purkey\">violent rapist and murderer<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-dustin-lee-honken\">a child murderer and drug trafficker<\/a>; a man who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-lezmond-mitchell\">murdered a grandmother and a young child<\/a>; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-keith-dwayne-nelson\">child murderer, rapist, and torturer<\/a>; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-william-emmett-lecroy-jr\">child molester, rapist, and murderer<\/a>; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/executions-scheduled-two-federal-inmates-convicted-heinous-murders\">two men<\/a> who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/statement-department-justice-spokesperson-kerri-kupec-execution-christopher-andre-vialva\">murdered youth ministers<\/a>; a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/orlando-cordia-hall-executed-1994-kidnapping-and-murder-16-year-old-girl\">drug trafficker who kidnapped and raped an honor roll student and later buried her alive<\/a>; a man who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/executions-scheduled-inmates-convicted-brutal-murders-many-years-ago\">abused, tortured, and murdered his two-year-old daughter<\/a>; a man who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/executions-scheduled-inmates-convicted-brutal-murders-many-years-ago\">murdered seven people<\/a>; a man who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/executions-scheduled-inmates-convicted-brutal-murders-many-years-ago\">kidnapped and murdered three women<\/a>; and a woman who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/opa\/pr\/executions-scheduled-two-federal-inmates-convicted-heinous-murders\">murdered a pregnant woman, cut open the woman\u2019s body and kidnapped the baby<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">A deleted tweet from <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoriBush?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@CoriBush<\/a>:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/I0Y5yiN1nl\">https:\/\/t.co\/I0Y5yiN1nl<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/T8hKmhoGl6\">pic.twitter.com\/T8hKmhoGl6<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Derek Willis (@derekwillis) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/derekwillis\/status\/1351558822192623616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 19, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bush was slammed online by people who noted Bush\u2019s recent remarks about those who were involved in a riot that broke out in the nation\u2019s capital on January 6, 2021.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I don\u2019t want to unite with those responsible for the insurrection at our nation\u2019s Capitol.
