Summary

Cori Bush is the newest member of The Squad, she’s about to become a Congresswoman from Missouri after a life that took her from homelessness to being a nurse to joining the protests in Ferguson to being brutalized by police there to having COVID for months… she has emerged from all of that as a powerful, unbreakable woman who is bringing progressive politics and a true care for the people to DC. I’m thrilled to see her in public life and I’m excited to have her on the show.
