Missouri Democrat Cori Bush tore into colleagues during an emotional rant defending Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.,on Tuesday, as the fellow "Squad" member faced a House censure vote over anti-Israel rhetoric.
The outspoken progressive blasted the "reckless" speech criticizing Tlaib, accusing her colleagues of targeting "Black and Brown people" "who look like" the Michigan Democrat.
"It’s outrageous my colleagues are blatantly, blatantly attempting to silence the only Palestinian-American representative right here. It’s outrageous but it's not surprising. Let me tell you, it’s not surprising because this place is where 1,700 members of Congress, this elected body, enslaved Black people," Bush, said, growing increasingly emotional.
