Rep. Cori Bush's disturbing, childish attempt to silence debate

Rep. Cori Bush has been sleeping on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

Despite this, Bush isn't just arguing for its reimposition - she's attempting to silence debate by painting those who oppose the moratorium as literally violent.

"Last night, we stood on the steps of the Capitol in a moment of silence for all the people who are unhoused whose lives have been taken because of policy violence," Bush wrote in a tweet.

To accuse those who dare disagree with her of literal violence and attempt to reframe disagreement as "Policy violence" is a chilling attempt to silence debate.

In Bush's telling, opposing the "Eviction moratorium" is an act of violence.

Of course, we can and should have a robust debate over the right federal policies to respond to evictions and the very real problems plaguing our housing markets.

Despite the serious implications, Bush hasn't bothered to waste much time on serious arguments in favor of the eviction moratorium.
