 Cory Bush is now officially Congresswoman elect Cory Bush, and she showed up to new member orientation Wearing this face mask it says Breonna Taylor's name on it, and I don't have to explain to you why this is significant Why this is important? However, she tweeted this out and this week It really crushed my spirits It's depressing because what she Says here it really speaks to just how out of touch These people are in Congress. So she says it's day one So I'm wearing my Breonna Taylor mask a few of my Republican colleagues have called me Breonna Assuming that's my name. It hurts I'm glad they'll come to know her name and story because of my presence here Breonna must be central to our work in Congress. Yeah, so now before I comment further on this I'm going to show you what she said about this further. She was interviewed and She had this to say I didn't hear it once and here it twice. I heard it several times. I'm being called Called, you know, Breonna Taylor today and you know, but it's okay because we'll educate and we'll make sure that people know Who she is what she stood for that she was an award-winning EMT, you know in her community that she's someone who deserves justice right now So she you know, she's not taking this Badly, you know, she's a great sport about this. However, when I see this when I hear this from her I mean this this just crushes my spirit These people should not be in Congress if they're that out of touch I mean you have the largest civil rights movement in the history of this country and one of the names That acted as a catalyst for this movement. You have people who are going to be in Congress not even know that name Think that that's her name That really is is shocking. I mean it should be shocking to everyone and by now I know that a lot of people have already reacted to this This this is kind of old news and people are seeing this and they're saying man Republicans are so stupid, but This is deeper than that like this really shows a fundamental disconnect with people in Congress and ordinary Americans If you don't know who Breonna Taylor's name is How can you represent? Americans Have you been living under a rock for the past six months? Do they know who George Floyd is? I mean to not know Breonna Taylor's name That is that's That's not okay It shows that you're not listening to people even when they take to the streets and protest for months at a time if that Doesn't get your attention Nothing will you shouldn't be in Congress. I think it's that simple I don't think that that's too extreme for me to say anyone who doesn't know Breonna Taylor's name They're too out of touch to govern. I Mean it's like saying You don't know what the word healthcare means It's like saying you don't know where the United States of America is on a map If you're that out of touch You can't be a member of Congress like there has to be a line somewhere like What are we doing? People at new member orientation who will be members of the United States Congress are Completely oblivious don't know about the name of An individual who catalyzed a gigantic civil rights movement. I Mean this is this is a problem to say the least So, I mean, I'm thankful that individuals like Cory Bush will be there to educate them But they should come in with some base of knowledge About the Black Lives Matter movement about who Breonna Taylor was and why her name is important But the fact that they don't know Who Breonna Taylor is and I think that Cory Bush is wearing, you know, basically a name tag on her face mask it's just It's it's deeply deeply pathetic and sad
