Fighting Back: Cory Bush Accuses Republicans Of 'Racist War On Wokeness'

Democratic Representative Cori Bush of Missouri has accused Republicans of racism for their opposition to wokeness and has also spoken out against legislation that essentially blocks gender transitions for minors.

In a tweet, Bush stated, "As Democrats, we've got to push back on the GOP's 'war on woke.' We know it's rooted in anti-Blackness. We cannot sit idly by as these folks get in front of cameras and yell 'woke' at everything. It's our communities that the GOP is targeting. We have to stand up for us."

Missouri Governor Mike Parson, a Republican, has signed legislation prohibiting gender-transition measures, including surgeries, cross-sex hormones, and puberty blockers, to people younger than 18. The cross-sex hormone and puberty-blocker bans do not apply to youth prescribed or administered those substances before August 28.

According to a press release, Parson said, "We support everyone's right to his or her own pursuit of happiness; however, we must protect children from making life-altering decisions that they could come to regret in adulthood once they have physically and emotionally matured. These decisions have permanent consequences for life and should not be made by impressionable children who may be in crisis or influenced by the political persuasions of others."

Parson also signed legislation to ban schools and colleges from allowing males to play sports designated for females and vice versa. The measure stipulates that institutions may permit females to play in sports designated for males if no corresponding opportunity is available for females. The ban applies to public and private educational institutions.

According to the press release, the governor said, "Women and girls deserve and have fought for an equal opportunity to succeed, and with this legislation today, we stand up to the nonsense and stand with them as they take back their sport competitions. In Missouri, we support real fairness, not injustice disguised as social righteousness."

Bush opposed the measures and tweeted, "It would be nice if @GovParsonMO and the state GOP actually passed legislation that helped the people of Missouri instead of using their time and energy attacking trans people. This is an example of the 'big government' these Republicans decry. Protect trans kids."
