Based on news reports and Bush&#8217;s posts on social media, her car has been attacked on at least five occasions since 2014, when she <a href=\"https:\/\/issuu.com\/thecrisismagazine\/docs\/the_crisis_december_2020\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> a bullet was fired through the trunk of her car during a protest in Ferguson, Mo.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2019, the congresswoman posted a series of bizarre tweets in response to what she described as a suspicious encounter with a black vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The black car with tinted windows sent to crash into me the other day was yet again, an unsuccessful attempt to stop me,&#8221;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/coribush\/status\/1143180538515210240\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>\u00a0Bush, who was a candidate for Congress at the time. &#8220;So tell ya boss &#038; ya buddies I only get more fired up each time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The congresswoman had a message for the &#8220;cowards&#8221; who tried to get her: &#8220;I&#8217;M NOT AFRAID OF YOU &#038; I&#8217;M NOT GOING TO STOP!&#8221; Bush proceeded to announce that she was not suicidal and asked her followers to demand an investigation should anything happen to her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If I choke, fall down stairs, die in my sleep, car accident, \u2018accidental&#8217; shooting, suicide etc. INVESTIGATE,&#8221; she <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CoriBush\/status\/1143180791683473408\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;I don&#8217;t need sympathy, I need people to know this stuff is real and it has never stopped.
