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.
“Racist” and “white supremacists” have become so overused by the left that the words have become meaningless at this point.
Two words: Saint Louis.
grrrrrrrrr,,,,,
When logic fails, I take the race card for 50 Alex.
She’s close enough for government work....................
I think that he is a she. But I could be wrong. I haven’t verified it.
Cue the “lipstick on the pig”...
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
From a Monetarist standpoint, price fluctuations in products is strictly about Supply and Demand. Inflation is always and everywhere simply a Money Supply issue caused by the government printing money. Neither Russia nor "corporate greed" changes our money supply.
Also she attacks someone's words but claims she isn't attacking the person. Terrible dodge.
She conflates skin color with culture. If you like western civilization, you like white people too much. If you don't like ghetto culture, then you hate all people with dark skin. That's all just ugly rhetoric.
She thinks they have a culture.....................
Is that the same as we wuz kangz?
The witness said their culture comment was not in regards to skin color but simply culture.
Sounds like Cori Bush has a inferiority complex going on.
Yet she’s playing the race cards
Can you blame them for being mad? We took away their slaves!!
She has an excellent basis for that inferiority complex.
Well, not speaking of skin color, ghetto culture, as practiced by black or white, is garbage. It is absolutely inferior.
Cori Bush has a ignoramus complex going on. She doesn’t know the difference between ‘culture’ and ‘race’.
Many whites have adopted that same ‘culture’.......................
Cori Bush is inferior, in EVERY measurable metric.
She is the perfect “representative” of a failed culture.
Have you been to St. Louis lately? A few minutes there will explain it all.
Indoor plumbing....................
I wish someone would ask her to name some of the contributions to the world that were provided by her favorite “non-white” supremacist culture.
