EXCERPT:
BUSH: "Absolutely ignorant, anti-black, racist and sexist tropes by a sitting member of Congress who was a colleague — I had never even met this person. You know, I never even talked to him. And for him to spew something so disgusting, number one, to call my husband my thug? What qualifies him as a thug? What does he know about him to call him a thug? You know, that is a dog whistle. And then also to tell me that I am being too loud? Me advocating for St. Louis is I’m being too loud? How about if you could fix the issues of St. Louis has, I wouldn’t have to talk about it, I wouldn’t have to fuss about it. But yes, I’m going to be loud. That’s okay. If I want to be loud, if I want to be quiet, that’s my prerogative. He, you know, him putting his mouth on it just shows his, you know, racism at its best from Congress."
