BLM activist Cori Bush wins in Missouri, becomes state’s first black congresswoman
Quote:
A Black Lives Matter activist in Missouri breezed to an election night victory to become the state’s first black congresswoman.
Cori Bush, who may become the fifth member of “The Squad,” garnered a whopping 84 percent of vote in the state’s 1st Congressional District.
“This is definitely a night to remember,” Bush, who is also a nurse, told her supporters during her acceptance speech.
“This has been a historic day from the beginning to the end.”
Bush had the backing of the Justice Democrats — who helped propel Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to her first upset victory over 10-term incumbent Joe Crowley.
