Cori Bush: If Kyle Rittenhouse Acquitted, White Supremacists “Can Shoot At Us”

The far-left Congresswoman told a probably not true story while advocating for the conviction of Kyle Rittenhouse.

Cori Bush, a member of the far-left “Squad” has been caught telling a fake story about “white supremacists” shooting at Black Lives Matters activists in Ferguson, Missouri.

When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us.

They never faced consequences.

If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it.

The only problem is that it did not happen. White supremacists weren’t sitting behind a hill in Missouri waiting to shoot at BLM activists.

Even liberal Associated Press found the claim lacking.

Associated Press said:

Ferguson Police Chief Frank McCall Jr. didn't respond to phone and email messages on Tuesday. But he told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that he wasn't aware of any incidents in which white supremacists fired on protesters. McCall was named chief in July. At the time of the Ferguson protests he worked in neighboring Berkeley, Missouri.

“While on the frontlines of the Ferguson Uprising, Congresswoman Bush and other activists were shot at by white supremacist vigilantes. The question we need to ask is why white supremacists feel empowered to open-carry rifles, incite violence, and put Black lives at risk across our country,” a spokesperson said, reiterating the assertion.
