When asked on Wednesday afternoon why he wore the hoodie on the House floor, he responded, “To demonstrate my outrage of Trayvon Martin’s Murder.”

You might want to post more than one single line lest you’re shilling for “The Blaze”.

Bobby Rush is lying. It isn’t a white neighborhood.

Why hasn't bobby rush expressed his "outrage" over the 10 murders (including that of a 6-year old girl) that occurred in his hometown of Chicago a couple of weekends ago?

Did bobby rush express similar outrage over the young black honor student who was killed by the young black thugs who hit him with a piece of lumber (caught on camera)and then beat him to death? Oh; this also occurred in rush's & jesse jackson's hometown of Chicago several months ago. The selective "outrage" is quite transparent here.

Whenever a liberal starts mouthing off I always say “I’d be ashamed to be a supporter of a party that sends (fill in the blank) to congress.” I usually say Sheila Jackson Lee.

Is it really a “white neighborhood”? I haven’t heard about the demographics of that gated community. I used to love it when Maxine Waters used to rag on the San Fernando Valley being an all white suburb. It’s not and hasn’t been in years. My guess its a mixed race gated community with a mix of white, hispanic and black. It wouldn’t surprise me if the demographics of the city match that in this small community. I guess we’ll need reporters to provide that info. Woops, they won’t do that unless it’s really an all white neighborhood. It would spoil the narative.

If true, well then I’m, er, surprised Rush didn’t get shot for wearing a hoodie himself.

Bobby Rush former Black Panther

Throughout the 1960s Rush was involved in the civil-rights movement. He worked in civil-disobedience campaigns in the South, and co-founded the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers in 1968 and was made its “defense minister”. His son, Huey, was named after Panther leader Huey Newton. “We were reacting to police brutality, to the historical relationship between African-Americans and recalcitrant racist whites,” Rush later told People magazine. “We needed to arm ourselves.” Rush was present when fellow Black Panther Fred Hampton was killed in a police raid and later made an official statement that the police, referred only to as “pigs” by Rush, had murdered Hampton. Rush’s own apartment was raided in December 1969 where police discovered an unregistered pistol, rifle, shotgun and pistol ammunition, training manuals on explosives and booby traps, a small amount of marijuana and an assortment of communist literature.[3] Earlier that same year Rush stated the philosophy his membership in the Black Panthers saying, “Black people have been on the defensive for all these years. The trend now is not to wait to be attacked. We advocate offensive violence against the power structure.”

I looked up the demographics of the town (can’t find the demographics that finely broken down. The town per Wikipeida is 45% non Hispanic White 30.5% Black/African American 20.2% Hispanic 2.8% Asian .5% native American with the balance all small categories. That’s compared to the county 66.3%, 11.2%, 17.1%, .3% and the state 57.9%, 16%, 22.5%, 2.4% and .4%. Unless that particular gated community has a significantly different demographic than the city the claim that this is an “all white community” is a bald faced lie and racist demagoguery and he and the MSM should be called on it.

Was it a hoodie or the Hollister?

All I see are the Hollister look.

I wonder why they hide the other images?

Sorry, I don’t understand your point. Please explain.
