Cori Bush blasted for blaming white supremacy for death of violent thug Michael Brown

August 10, 2023 | | Print Article

U.S. Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) was slammed over a tweet marking the ninth anniversary of the death of Michael Brown, the hulking teen thug whose shooting by a law enforcement officer whom he attacked in 2014 ignited violent racial unrest in Ferguson, Missouri.

On Wednesday, the “Squad” member conjured up her standard anti-white racial rhetoric when she took to Twitter/X to commemorate the day that the “gentle giant” was shot as he tried to wrestle the gun away from Officer Darren Wilson who was forced to shoot him in order to save his own life, an incident that was used by Bush and her fellow activists to whip up racial resentment.

The Black Lives Matter activist turned U.S. congresswoman falsely blamed the 18-year-old’s death on white supremacy, the grossly overblown bogeyman of the racist left and a catch-all description that has been expanded beyond its actual definition to potentially include all political adversaries of the ruthlessly dishonest political party to which Bush belongs.

Bush’s racially inflammatory “hoax” was immediately blasted by Twitter/X users who pointed out that Brown was hardly an innocent victim, having just robbed a convenience store and then assaulted a cop with Officer Wilson being cleared by the Justice Department which at the time was led by race-obsessed Attorney General Eric Holder.

“This only goes to show how the Left plays the long game. The whole Michael Brown narrative has been definitively exposed as a hoax but they will keep repeating it year after year after year until we get tired of correcting it and the truth is forgotten by history,” wrote conservative commentator Matt Walsh.

“He would be alive today if he had not chosen to steal from a convenience store, resulting in the owner calling police, resulting in police stopping him, at which point Brown CHOSE to attack a cop and try to take his gun — which Eric Holder’s own DOJ concluded with its forensics report. Stop YOUR shameful and racist rewrite of facts,” said radio host and 2nd Amendment advocate Dana Loesch.

“He would be alive today had pig politicians like yourself not filled his head with victimhood and entitlement that caused him to rob a liquor store and try to steal a cop’s gun. His blood, your party’s hands,” said conservative columnist Derek Hunter.

More reactions to Bush’s brazen lie:

“Brown robbed a convenience store, attacked officer Wilson, reached into his patrol vehicle and struggled over the police firearm and was discharged, then charged the officer at gunpoint resisting arrest. Investigations including Obama’s DOJ ruled race was not a factor,” said a reader note added to Bush’s tweet along with a link to the DOJ report on the Brown shooting.
