Cori Bush vows to sleep outside Capitol as eviction freeze nears end
[NYPOST] Rep. Cori Bush
...a member of the progressive Squad. Born in St. Louis, Bush represents Missouri's 1st congressional district that includes all of the city of St. Louis and a large part of northern St. Louis County. Cori sez America is Racist AF...
 (D-Mo.) said Friday night that she would sleep outside the US Capitol in an effort to persuade Congress to extend the nationwide moratorium on evictions set to expire Saturday."Many of my fellow wardheelers chose to go on vacation early today rather than staying to vote to keep people in their homes," Bush tweeted. "I’ll be sleeping outside the Capitol tonight. We’ve still got work to do."
How very dramatic of her. Enjoy the moquitos and the muggers, my dear.
Bush, 45, who experienced a period of homelessness nearly two decades ago, sent a letter to her colleagues earlier Friday calling on them to stay in Washington DC a little longer before starting their August recess to pass an extension to the moratorium.

"I’m urging you to please hear me out on this issue because as a formerly unhoused Congresswoman, I have been evicted three times myself," she wrote. "I know what it’s like to be forced to live in my car with my two children. Now that I am a member of Congress, I refuse to stand by while millions of people are vulnerable to experiencing that same trauma that I did."

In a separate letter later Friday, Bush invited her colleagues to join her "in solidarity" outside the Capitol.

"[W]e must reconvene to protect people from violent mostly peaceful evictions during an deadly pandemic ...," she said. "We need to get this done, and we must not let up."

While some supporters praised Bush for the campout on Twitter, others called the congresswoman out for what they saw as a publicity stunt.
