St. Louis, MO – U.S. Representative Cori Bush’s (D-Missouri) vehicle was damaged by gunfire early Saturday morning while parked in an undisclosed area of the city.
Information about incident came from a source close to Bush who was not authorized to speak about what occurred, KSDK reported.
Bush, one of the leading faces of the Defund the Police movement, was not inside the vehicle at the time of the shooting, according to the source. Other vehicles parked near Bush’s car had evidence indicating someone tampered with door handles and it was not believed the congresswoman was targeted, KSDK reported.
Bush said experiencing this “act of gun violence” was terrifying.
“Like far too many of us in St. Louis, experiencing gun violence is all too familiar,” she told KSDK. “Thankfully no one was harmed. But any act of gun violence shakes your soul.”
Bush said it is because of incidents like this that her “movement” is focusing on making the community safer.
“No one should have to fear for their safety here in St. Louis and that is exactly why our movement is working every day to invest in our communities, eradicate the root causes of gun violence, and keep every neighborhood safe,” she told KSDK.
Bush also tweeted about her car being shot back in June of 2020.“My car took the bullets. I am safe,” she wrote at the time. “When I say that I am the people I serve, it’s not a slogan!”She also shared photos of the bullet holes in her vehicle after that incident. “A bullet went through my door handle on one side of the car, another went through my tire on the other side,” Bush wrote. “I’m committed to taking us from ‘surviving St. Louis’ to ‘living it.’” My car took the bullets. I am safe. When I say that I […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
