Thursday on Twitter, Missouri Rep. Cori Bush (D) confirmed reports that her car was struck by gunfire over the weekend in the St. Louis area.
“I’m touched by everyone who has reached out,” Bush tweeted. “Thankfully no one was harmed. But any act of gun violence shakes your soul. That’s why our movement is working to invest in our communities, eradicate the root causes of gun violence, and keep everyone safe.”
Bush was not injured in the shooting, as the vehicle was parked when it was hit. A source reported that Bush apparently was not the target of the gunfire. There was evidence that someone tampered with the door handles on other cars near Bush’s vehicle at the time of the shooting.
This is the second time Bush’s car has been struck by gunfire. In June 2020, she tweeted, “My car took the bullets. I am safe. A bullet went through my door handle on one side of the car, another went through my tire on the other side.”
Bush happens to be a loud advocate of the idiotic Democrat call to defund police departments, not to mention a raging hypocrite. After the Federal Election Commission revealed that the congresswoman spent over $130,000 on personal security services, she angrily shot back at critics, asking if “they would rather I die? You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die? You know, because that could be the alternative.”
“I have private security because my body is worth being on this planet right now,” she added. But her constituents’ bodies apparently aren’t worth the basic security of taxpayer-funded police protection.
