Earlier, we told you about Democratic Rep. Cori Bush explaining that she’s important enough to need private security while you’re not important enough to merit the police’s protection.

To be fair, we only heard 30 seconds of what she had to say. Maybe, in context, it wasn’t nearly as bad as we initially thought it was.

Holy moly. So, not only does she think her life is more valuable than yours, but she’s suffering from genuine paranoid delusions. “My body is worth being on this planet right now and I need private security because the white supremacists want me dead.”

Cori Bush thinks the issue of her own personal safety and the issue of the personal safety of everyone else are totally separate and that it's outrageous to even bring them up in the same context. https://t.co/tYouD3DI5p
