Freshman Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), a member of the so-called "Squad" of far-left House Democrats, triggered a tsunami of backlash Sunday when she said Independence Day is not about celebrating freedom for all Americans.
What did Bush say?
According to Bush, America is a "stolen land," black people "aren't free," and when people declare that Independence Day is about celebrating freedom, they mean for white people only.
"When they say that the 4th of July is about American freedom, remember this: the freedom they're referring to is for white people. This land is stolen land and Black people still aren't free," Bush said.
