A House committee on fossil fuels went off the rails Wednesday after Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush accused one of the witnesses of being racist.
Bush began her opening statement criticizing the oil industry before turning her attention toward an unidentified witness.
“If House Republicans actually cared about preventing an energy and economic crisis from happening, they would commit to investing in renewable energy. Unfortunately, there are no serious proposals being offered. Rising inflation, caused by Russia’s violent invasion of Ukraine and COVID-19 related supply chain shortages, combined with dangerous corporate greed and reliance on fossil fuels, has left the United States in a tenuous position,” Bush said, calling for an end to the reliance on oil.
Bush the criticized Republicans for inviting “for-profit think tanks and oil-titans” that allegedly seek to maximize profits at the expense of minority communities.
“One of these so-called ‘energy experts’ is a philosopher who has previously espoused white supremacist views. For instance, in his 2000 college newspaper, he wrote ‘the African and American studies department has 23 classes and many of these classes African culture is presented not as’-” Bush said before someone cut in.
“Mr. Chairman, I ask the gentlelady’s words be taken down. She just called the witness a white supremacist,” Colorado Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert said.
“No, I referred to the words, not to the person,” Bush said, stuttering.

“The gentlelady is referring to the witnesses statement and referred to him as a white supremacist, I would like a parliamentary decree having the gentlelady’s words taken down,” Boebert shot back.
Boebert then asked the chairman whether it’s “appropriate for ranking members to show to respect to the witnesses who are here, present in the room today?”
“I would like that sentiment to be expressed and the members reminded to show respect to our witnesses who are here today,” Boebert continued.
Bush then continued quoting the unidentified witnesses’ testimony, saying the witness later doubled down and argued that certain cultures are inferior to western cultures.
“We are not inferior to any culture,” Bush said, after having noted the witness said their culture comment was not in regards to skin color but simply culture.
He called someone a “Racist” because he doesn’t agree with Socialism? Gee, I hope this doesn’t become a trend.... /S
Cori Bush is a woman........................
The racist was the acting congress critter asking questions and tossing out insults.
oink
Rep. Bush does provide some entertainment value through her complete lack of self-awareness.
When the hell did this Black Looters Movement ho sneak her ass into “congress”? And from Missouri. What are those folks in the “Show Me” state thinking?
This is how they will stop Republicans from getting anything done, by creating chaos and havoc with incendiary accusations causing the committees to be totally useless................
The issue is never the issue. The issue is always the Revolution................
He is a she (maybe).
There should be NO serious proposals when it comes to the fantasy renewable lies. Likely 90% of every day stuff is made by or from dinoblood. Just how many dinosaurs were there anyway? But, coree bush so.........
There are SO many things wrong in that statement. They are glaring and so obvious that pointing them out is, well, pointless. And I don't have the time or the stomach for it this morning.
Sad thing is that that’s the plan of the Democrat party for everything. Attack. Polarize. Ridicule. Make every discussion toxic so everyone wants it to stop. Make every line of question an opportunity for mayhem. The news media prefers these things over fact. The government sees to it.
She reflects her constituents quite well when you figure in her demographic strongholds that got her elected.
The D next to her name got a big percentage to start with in the rural areas but the urban areas majority carried her across the line.
A deflection from the subject matter and an effort to discredit the witness. Same thing happened at the Covid investigation. This is a Dem tactic.
“Show Me” da loot?
This c*nt is nothing but a race pimp. And she gets away with it.
Today, everyone is a white racist just because you exist and breath. This is how far down as a nation we have fallen. The Democrats ultimate goal is the destruction of the United States. They are getting their revenge for losing the civil war.
Yeah well if Biden had not been installed there would not be a war in Ukraine, energy resource and distribution problems, economic collapse, and former union goons coming with the feds to take your gas stove from your kitchen and your Toyota Corolla from your driveway.
