Bush supports Bowman over Greene in ‘Squad’ feud.

Cori Bush Stands Up Against Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Comments

Representatives Jamaal Bowman, Cori Bush, and Marjorie Taylor Greene have been in the news lately due to a heated exchange between Bowman and Greene on the steps of the Capitol. In response to Greene’s equating the N-word with being called a “white supremacist,” Cori Bush took to Twitter to back her fellow “Squad” member and to call out Greene’s ignorance.

The Difference Between Calling Someone the N-Word and Calling Them a White Supremacist

Bush made it clear that there is a difference between calling a black person the N-word, which has been used to dehumanize black people, and calling someone a white supremacist. She stated that historically, a white person calling a black person that word has been about power and is used to show the supposed superiority of white people and to dehumanize black people. Its use often precipitates violence against the black community without penalty or repercussions.

Bush’s tweets come after a heated exchange between Greene and Bowman on the steps of the Capitol on Wednesday. Greene later said she felt “threatened” by Bowman, who characterized the exchange as a “light back-and-forth.”

Standing with Jamaal Bowman

Bush continued her tweets by stating that Greene’s ignorance is astoundingly white supremacist and that she stands with Jamaal Bowman. She also added that instead of banning books, people need to read them.

Greene rejected the characterization and said she took offense to being called a white supremacist. She claimed that Wednesday’s exchange was not the first time that she feared for her life when it came to Bowman, claiming the New York representative shouted “at the top of his lungs” that Greene was a white supremacist while she was in New York protesting former President Donald Trump’s indictment.

Conclusion

The exchange between these representatives highlights the ongoing issue of racism and the need for education and understanding. It is important to stand up against ignorance and to support those who are fighting for equality and justice.
