Race-baiting Missouri Rep. Cori Bush has been caught in an attention-seeking attempt, as she told a ridiculous lie about her experience during a Black Lives Matter march in Ferguson.
Democrat Rep. Cori Bush is well-known as a race-baiter, always trying to tie every issue to racism. This time, she’s inserting herself into the Kyle Rittenhouse case by tying it to the time she marched at a BLM rally in Ferguson, Missouri.
In a tweet, Bush claimed that during that BLM march, she and other protesters were shot at by “white supremacists” who “never faced consequences” for trying to murder them.
“When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” she claimed. “They never faced consequences.”
“If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it,” Rep. Bush added.

Andy Ngô, Editor-at-Large of the Post Millennial, called her out for it in a response to her tweet. Ngô pointed out that the so-called “white supremacist” shooter was actually a black man, Jeffrey Williams.
Further, Ngô revealed that Williams was not shooting at the Black Lives Matter protesters, he was shooting at police officers.
“This is false and ignominious. Your colleagues should condemn you. Jeffrey Williams was arrested, charged & convicted for that shooting during the protest/riots,” he tweeted. “He was aiming at police & shot two officers.”
