Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) in her never-ending struggle for relevancy has been accused by The Post Millennial’s Editor-at-large Andy Ngô, Washington Times Columnist Tim Young and several hundred other Twitter users of fabricating “evidence” of a racist threat, she claims was sent to her, citing it as proof of “White Supremacist violence”. Many people have likened the fairly obvious hoax as in line with Jussie Smollet or Bubba Wallace’s claims of “racist” threats.
Bush Claims Racist Messages Were Sent To Her. Were They Though?
While virtually every sitting and even some former members of Congress and Senators as public figures have all been subject to some of the vilest commentary outside of the Youtube comments section, Congresswoman Cori Bush has taken it upon herself to publicize the abuses she must suffer every day she collects her $174,000 plus expenses salary. ( You know for that money, my audience can call me whatever the hell they want…) While there is no excuse for racism and in its every form it is to be reviled, the best disinfectant truly is sunlight. But there’s a problem: did Bush manufacture this “evidence”? Because it sure seems like it, and we’ve been lied to before.
Bonchie from RedState wrote quite aptly, “The problem for Bush is that she has no credibility because she’s shown herself to be a race-grifter who can’t even celebrate Fourth of July without making irrational proclamations about not being free as a well-off, elected member of Congress who says and does whatever she wants. She also lied about the Columbus police shooting, which doesn’t help her lack of credibility either. That sits among a pile of other inflammatory statements she’s made that paint her as one of the most bad-faith politicians in Washington.”

Andy Ngô and Tim Young Smell Another Hoax
Andy Ngô replied acerbically, himself a consistent victim of the BLM and Antifa criminals Bush has championed,
“Missouri congresswoman (D) & BLM activist tweets out what she says are evidence of “white supremacist violence.” However, one of the screenshots shows it was typed on an unsubmitted form, raising the question if she or the person who gave her the screenshot wrote it themselves.”
Ngô is something of an expert on hate-driven violence haveing been beaten by mobs and having his life routinely threatened for years now. Tim Young’s response was equally sharp-witted and devastating, “Oh look, a form you filled out and didn’t click submit on. At least learn how the internet forms work before faking hate crimes against yourself.”
According to Independent Chronicle, “Reactions to Bush’s screenshot of the alleged white supremacy violence were quick to point out the red asterisks remaining next to the various fields on the form indicated that it was typed up without being submitted when the screenshot was taken.”
