Listening to activist-turned-Representative Cori Bush call Donald Trump “the white supremacist-in-chief” as she casts a vote to impeach him, you can hear the battle against white supremacism well and truly joined. Democrats must not relent in depicting the Capitol assault as inseparable from an ongoing white supremacist insurrection, and which itself was an astonishing display of white impunity.

Having long been fond of this nickname for Trump, The Hot Screen endorses its perfect deployment by Bush. Many Republicans boo’d in response to her remarks, which tells me they hit home.

As thrilling as her “white supremacist-in-chief” jab is when Bush says that “we have a mandate to legislate in defense of black lives.” This white supremacist insurrection is a threat most directly to our African-American and other minority citizens, and our government must act to protect them from domestic terrorists and their political enablers, swiftly and relentlessly.
