Congressman Cori Bush (D-Mo.) On Wednesday he beat Republican colleagues who refused to use metal detectors installed outside the Chamber of Deputies after last week’s deadly riot at the US Capitol.
“To my colleagues who don’t want to go through metal detectors: have you worked before?” Bush tweeted. “If you work at McDonald’s and don’t wear a uniform, you don’t work that day. If you don’t obey the rules of this job, go find another one. “
For my colleagues who will not pass through metal detectors:
Have you worked before? If you work at McDonald’s and don’t wear a uniform, you don’t work that day.
If you do not comply with the rules of this work, look for another https://t.co/rPO2xek1iB
