The mental stability of Democrats isn’t one of their strengths. But Americans expect them to at least be somewhat sane.
But this congresswoman lost her mind in an uncovered video and now people are asking questions.
In a television appearance, Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush reiterated her strange faith-healing claims, including how she allegedly treated a woman’s tumors just by placing her hand on them.
The far-Left “Squad” member claimed in her little-known autobiography in 2022 that she achieved multiple miracles as a religious faith healer, then made similar bizarre claims in an interview with Margaret Hoover on PBS that same year – statements that have only lately surfaced and gone viral.
“At that time, I, along with a group of friends, we would go out on the street and just meet with people, pray with people and offer them food,” Bush told Hoover.
“And this [homeless] lady came to us, and she had these tumors, and she wanted us to like, feel them.”
“I just remember I put my hand on her, my hand just began to move,” stated Bush. “And the lumps that were there were no longer there. She was so happy, and she went on about her day.
“I never saw her again.”
The astounding assertion by Bush, a trained nurse, backs up similar dubious allegations in her autobiography, The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America.
In the book, she told the same tale about the woman, claiming that her lack of health insurance prevented her from undergoing surgery on the obvious tumors.
“One of the tumors was particularly painful to her,” the congresswoman wrote.
“I laid hands on her and prayed, and I felt that my hand was no longer touching a tumor. It shrank along with the others on her body.”
The politician allegedly claimed to have helped a youngster with a brain bleed walk during a prayer service in St. Louis, despite the fact that the girl had never walked before.
“I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary . . . ‘Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ‘You will walk.’ And this girl took her first step,” Bush wrote. “Then another, and another. She walked.”
Medical specialists have questioned the rep’s absurd statements, which come from a faction in the House known for its strong Left-wing views.
“I don’t think what she’s claiming happened,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, a professor of medicine at the University of California San Francisco, according to the New York Post. “Definitely as a physician I would encourage people to seek treatment for cancer and other ailments.”
Bush has also been involved with a faith-healing church in Missouri, whose senior pastor told the Washington Free Beacon in 2021 that he cured her of the coronavirus over the phone.
“If I can speak a prayer, and I can believe what I believe, and you believe that this will help you, then why not offer that to people?” Bush spoke on PBS. “Because I know prayer has helped me.”
In the TV interview, she also equated spiritual and medical healing as a “similar thing.”
“I’m going to believe that this treatment that this doctor is giving me is going to help me in my situation,” she said.
When asked what she would tell individuals who questioned her assertions, Bush shook her head.
“They’re not the woman that had the tumors,” she responded.
