But Democratic Rep. Cori Bush doesn’t want you to forget that she, too, has sacrificed.
After the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 (instead of 9-0, which is what it should have been) in favor of blocking Joe Biden’s unlawful eviction moratorium, Bush took the opportunity to remind everyone about what she and her fellow Democratic warriors had been through:
We were outside the Capitol for 5 days. Rain. Heat. Cold.
If they think this partisan ruling is going to stop us from fighting to keep people housed, they’re wrong.
Congress needs to act immediately. For every unhoused or soon to be unhoused person in our districts. https://t.co/Boi3rUaZ4Y

So proud was she for the price she’d already paid and would gladly pay again, that she made it her pinned tweet:
Let’s all pause for a moment of silence for Rep. Bush and her colleagues, who — let’s face it — could have caught colds and maybe even pneumonia or something but at the very least were wet and kind of uncomfortable.
Wow all the way outside and everything. pic.twitter.com/2mj2mJwVZN

Does her stunning bravery know no bounds?
Could have gone inside the Capitol building and passed a law instead of relying on the president to issue an unlawful executive order.

No, you’re missing the point. Cori Bush was outside, dammit!
In the summer too https://t.co/a7HhDIdhVg

She had to subsist on Oreos. And recline on pillows that probably got some dirt on them!
The climate changed and everything.

Not just stunning but brave, too

We’d expect nothing less.
She shouldn’t tell this to people in the Army. They won’t be impressed.

Why not? Cori Bush is basically an American hero. She got rained on, for God’s sake!
Omg…. All the photos and videos don’t do justice to the sacrifice!! https://t.co/a0HPH4iJ9T
