Representative Cori Bush (D-MO) defended her calls to defund the police by saying “we can’t get caught up in words” Tuesday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Anchor George Stephanopoulos asked, “You have stuck by it. In fact, you are are one of the few Democrats who still says let’s defund the police. Are you worried at all that that could hurt some of your colleagues going into the midterm elections?”

“we can’t get caught up in words”

“we can’t get caught up in words”

says the individual who gave us the phrase “Black birthing people.”

I used to live in the Congressional district Bush now represents. Thankfully, I left before she was elected, but I see what remains. The City of St. Louis has become a lawless mess. Property crimes are rampant, but are not investigated and the police discourage victims from reporting. And because of the total breakdown in our education system, young people who are victims of this crime are sympathetic to the criminal. There are still some great neighborhoods and restaurants and places in the city that are worthwhile to visit, but it is eroding.

This is what happens when a city is turned over to the care of angry black women like Bush (US Rep), Kim Gardner (City Attorney) and Tishaura Jones (Mayor).

If and when the Cardinals ever leave (I predict they will be gone in 20 years), board up the city and flee. It's the one thing that the old establishment is protecting downtown.

“Even small towns need to fight against stupids.”

It does seem sometime that a lot of people are “stupid”, but we are bombarded by institutions (the media) that very expertly concoct messages intended to take us to certain conclusions.

The media tells us with distortion part of what’s going on and leaves out other important parts of what’s going on. The presenters are so smooth and beautiful, the pictures so beautiful, complete with background music. Compelling.

And, little Steffie has nothing.

People spend more time focusing on the word ‘defund’ than they spend on caring and addressing the problem of police violence in this country.”

The problem isn't 'police violence' it's 'CRIMINAL VIOLENCE.' Bush is a pity party addict and a fool. Yeah, call a social worker. /s

But you can get caught up in a cross fire.

There isn’t a black elected democrat that isn’t worthless. They only line their own pockets.

Wonder how many kick backs Cori Bush is getting?.
