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.
Clean drinking water.
That is all the left have left, accusations of racism. That is the type of collosal ignorance that the right has to deal with.
I’m not sure, but I’d guess she’s from St. Louis which like every red state, has a blue city lurking around.
So what if the witness is a racist asshole. What does that have to do with energy policy?
Is that wrong?
Modern dentistry
If there are supremacists, those who are superior, then logic dictates there are inferiorists, those who are unequal and thus inferior
“What are those folks in the “Show Me” state thinking?”
Does anyone doubt that there’s superior culture? Of course it is made to be a ‘racist’ topic of discussion.
These people are just toxic.
“the witness later doubled down and argued that certain cultures are inferior to western cultures”
Controversial? Sure. True? Absolutely.
Then take off those Western white supremacist clothes and put on a dashiki.
Agree what some call a trend others call it lemmings.

They carved out a chunk of the Missouri jungle in order to preserve the rest of the state with an orderly civilization. It’s sort of strange, but it appears that voters in that section have consistently chosen radical black women for their elected offices. People like Rep. Bush, Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner, and Mayor Tishaura Jones.
Are you a biologist?

I am just so very tired of reading the lefts lies. They think they are masters at it and everyone will believe their lies if they repeat them often enough. Well...most people out here in the normal world know them for their lies and never believe anything they say anyway, so they end up looking and sounding like idiots.
