Fact Checkers Ignore Cori Bush’s Claim That White Supremacists Shot At Ferguson Protestors, Snopes Give ‘Unproven’ Rating

On Monday, Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) claimed that white supremacists fired on Ferguson protesters after former police officer Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown in 2014.

“When we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near where Michael Brown Jr. was murdered and shoot at us,” Bush tweeted. “They never faced consequences.”

“If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even 7 years later they still can get away with it,” she added.
