The newest member of the Democrat socialist “squad,” freshman Democrat Cori Bush [D-MO] appeared on The View today for a friendly softball interview where she didn’t have to answer any hard questions, not even from conservative host, Meghan McCain.
Bush, a Black Lives Matter activist who proudly protested in last Summer's demonstrations along with the Ferguson riots before being elected to Congress this November, spent much of the interview being praised for that radical activism. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Joy Behar had the most obnoxious questions:
HOSTIN: Congresswoman, while watching the impeachment hearings I was really taken aback by how your Republican colleagues attempted to draw parallels between what we saw at the Capitol and the Black Lives Matter rallies and protests, we saw over the Summer. You have been unrelenting in calling the insurrection an act of white supremacy, including on the House floor where you were actually booed by your colleagues. What was your reaction to hearing this comparison over and over again from your colleagues, and being booed on the House floor?
[...]
JOY BEHAR: [Y]ou introduced your very first piece of legislation last week, it calls for potentially expelling the 139 House Republicans who voted to overturn the election. Considering only ten Republicans had the fortitude to break rank and vote for Trump's impeachment. Do you have any hope that his enablers, and there are so many, so many in the party, will actually face any consequences?
Liberals in the media, like Sunny Hostin and CNN really hate that they spent all summer defending and downplaying violence from left-wing activists and now they’re being reminded about their hypocrisy in condemning the Capitol Hill riot. Bush was also allowed to avoid responsibility, slamming this criticism as a “deflection” because her Republican colleagues were “white supremacists” like the president:
“You heard every word I said and your colors showed. You showed us how you really feel about it. You want to hold white supremacy,” she sneered.
Of course Joy Behar loved Bush’s demand that over 100 Republicans in Congress be expelled for challenging the election results. Bush revealed she hoped they were investigated and punished in court as well for breaking their “oath” and “attacking democracy.”
While The View interview focused entirely on Bush’s race-based activism and impeachment efforts, they ignored her alarming Socialist viewpoints. As the Federalist wrote, Bush’s campaign website touted her support for a “Universal Basic Income,” socialized medicine in “Medicare for All," nationwide rent control, student debt forgiveness and The Green New Deal. Her radical abortion views include repealing the Hyde Amendment and giving full government funding to abortion giant, Planned Parenthood.
Bush also recently was slammed by conservatives on Twitter for this sickening tweet sympathizing with murderers and child rapists on death row:
The 13 people murdered by Trump's death row killing spree:
— Cori Bush (@CoriBush) January 17, 2021
Daniel Lee
Wesley Purkey
Dustin Honken
Lezmond Mitchell
Keith Nelson
William LeCroy Jr.
Christopher Vialva
Orlando Hall
Brandon Bernard
Alfred Bourgeois
Lisa Montgomery
Corey Johnson
Dustin Higgs
Say their names.
Ironically, one of the murderers the Democrat demanded respect for was a white supremacist.
But Bush wasn’t asked about any of that. Considering her cushy Washington Post profile from last month, it’ll be surprising if anyone in the media is bold enough to do their jobs and challenge her extreme left viewpoints in future interviews.

SUNNY HOSTIN: Congresswoman, while watching the impeachment hearings I was really taken aback by how your Republican colleagues attempted to draw parallels between what we saw at the Capitol and the Black Lives Matter rallies and protests, we saw over the summer. You have been unrelenting in calling the insurrection an act of white supremacy, including on the House floor where you were actually booed by your colleagues. What was your reaction to hearing this comparison over and over again from your colleagues, and being booed on the House floor?
REP. CORI BUSH [D-MO]: I could believe it, but if you want, you know, to deflect, you know, if you want to take the attention off of you, you know, I want to play the blame game, it is sad though that we are talking about actual leaders, people who have man-given authority. And these people are supposed to represent 7-- approximately 750,000 people who look like me, who look like you, you know. Our black and brown community members, our Native American community members and this is what you think? You know, when I called out white supremacy, first of all, it had to be done. We can no longer--I am not saying that we always have, but from the floor, from the House floor, we cannot sit back and allow a president to come against our democracy and not only that, he has emboldened so many other leaders and elected officials and community members to do the same. So what do you do? You take it from here, and that's what I did.
We will call you exactly what you are. You are a white supremacist president, white supremacist in chief, and only for a few more days, when we coddle this thing, that is why we are in the position that we are now, today. The other thing is, you know, when they booed me, I was like, 'oh, okay, we're good.' Because you know what? You heard me. You weren't on your phones. You weren't talking, having conversations. Oh, you heard every word I said and your colors showed. You showed us how you really feel about it. You want to hold white supremacy.
JOY BEHAR: That's right. Well said. Now, you introduced your very first piece of legislation last week, it calls for potentially expelling the 139 House Republicans who voted to overturn the election. Considering only ten Republicans had the fortitude to break rank and vote for Trump's impeachment. Do you have any hope that his enablers, and there are so many, so many in the party, will actually face any consequences?
BUSH: Oh, yes. Absolutely. I believe they will face consequences now. How long will it take? What those consequences can be, you know, hopefully we can start with having them expelled. But then later on, for those--after an investigation, for those that need actual charges against them, I hope that happens because you actually open your mouth and raise your hand and swore an oath. You swore an oath to defend this Constitution, but instead you would rather attack the democracy? You want to attack our democracy just a few days away from your sworn oath, and the third section 3 of the 14th Amendment says that, first of all, you cannot give comfort. You cannot give aid, you know, in this type of way. And so since they decided to do that, you cannot be a representative, you can't be a senator, and you can't be a president. I won't back down on it. We have more than 50 of our colleagues that have signed on and many more are talking about it. So we are moving forward. If we don't present it, how does it happen? So yes that was my first piece of legislation but you know let's wait and see what the second one is, it's coming.
