Cori Bush slammed for video of her camping, crying on Capitol steps to fight evictions surfaces

Critics are slamming “Squad” member Rep. Cori Bush for a video showing her crying on the Capitol steps in protest of the federal eviction moratorium that expired over the weekend.

Bush slept on the Capitol steps Friday evening in protest against the end of a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention moratorium on evictions that stemmed from the coronavirus pandemic.  "But when you hear the cries of others. When you hear the suffering of others," she says in the video, while wiping away tears. "We are already fighting a battle, and losing a battle, because there are people who slept out last night, the night, the night before. There are people who are already un-housed. And we don't have enough, we don't have enough shelters, we don't have enough … we don't have the safe housing for them right now."
