Rep. Cori Bush
Rep. Cori Bush directly denounced former President Obama’s claims the use of “defund the police” cost the Democrats key wins in elections and ostracized voters. In her message, the Democrat lawmaker talked down to the former Commander In Chief implying he is only thinking of the movement from a political perspective instead of considering the lives lost to police violence.
With all due respect, Mr. President—let’s talk about losing people. We lost Michael Brown Jr. We lost Breonna Taylor. We’re losing our loved ones to police violence.
It’s not a slogan. It’s a mandate for keeping our people alive. Defund the police. https://t.co/Wsxp1Y1bBi
