Working to overturn the 2020 election & embracing Trump MAGA fascism is not you rising, Byron. You’re being used. It helps you politically at the expense of our community. THAT’S what’s shameful.
It’s clear which party promotes white supremacist chaos and which works against it.

.@CoriBush, if you see a Black man rise, let the man rise even if you disagree with them.
I’d be happy to sit down and debate our policies one on one whenever you’d like.
As a Black man to a Black woman, I’d never do that to you. It’s a shame you did it to me.

Cori Bush expands on her Byron Donalds "prop" comment to @ArthurDelaneyHP:
"My issue is because he was not someone they have been promoting for the last 2 years."
"I want him to understand: They’re only using you."
“I’m glad [Republicans] took offense."

FWIW, is not a historic candidate for Speaker. He is a prop. Despite being Black, he supports a policy agenda intent on upholding and perpetuating white supremacy.
His name being in the mix is not progress—it’s pathetic.

The Working Families Bill gives struggling families an added lift so they can pursue higher paying jobs, cover childcare expenses, and pay down debt—giving them a real chance to break the cycle of poverty.
Quote Tweet
Direct payments like @POTUS' #ChildTaxCredit help families afford the essentials and re-enter the workforce. I signed BB116 to make St. Louis the first city in Missouri to establish a #GuaranteedBasicIncome pilot program, supporting 400+ schoolchildren and their families. #STLBOA

Dear : Very bad look for your incoming Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan to ignore a bipartisan congressional subpoena. It’s severely damaging to the credibility of the Judiciary Committee. Why should anyone comply with subpoenas that Jordan intends to issue next term?

The four members of Congress referred to House ethics committee for not complying with subpoena, based on 160-page executive summary:
Kevin McCarthy
Jim Jordan
Scott Perry

The last time I checked, not a single person is asking an out of touch, failed businessman, the son of an apartheid benefactor who harvested emeralds on the backs of Black people in South Africa his thoughts on a Black-led social movement. Leave St. Louis out of your mouth.
