Cori Bush raises eyebrows with claim of being shot at by White supremacists, police chief unaware of evidence

Bush made the claim while commenting on the Kyle Rittenhouse trial

Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., sparked a backlash Monday after she claimed in a tweet that she and fellow protesters were fired upon by White supremacists during the racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, several years ago.

Bush was commenting on the ongoing murder trial of 18-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who faces life in prison for shooting three men, two of them fatally, during the 2020 riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Jury deliberations were underway Tuesday as Kenosha businesses braced for potential riots following the verdict.

"When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us," Bush tweeted Monday afternoon. "They never faced consequences."

"If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even seven years later they still can get away with it," she wrote.

Bush was characterizing Rittenhouse as a White supremacist even though there is no evidence linking him to White supremacist groups or ideologies.

Bush’s claim that Brown was murdered is also false, as the Justice Department concluded in 2015 that former Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson shot Brown in self-defense.

The backlash against Bush over the tweet was swift.

Yeah, but @Copper included a tweet by Larry O’Connor.

And the picture of Ms. Bush.

You can see, she was really, really scared.

The fake story has so much value, imagine if it were real. Maybe she could pay a white person to take a real shot at her, and get elected president on that momentum in 2024.
