"Had it been people who look like me ... we wouldn't have made it up those steps"

Appearing on MSNBC, Bush said she believed that the outcome would have been drastically different had the crowd that breached the Capitol in an effort to stop the vote to finalize the Electoral College victory of President-elect Joe Biden been made up of mostly “Black and brown” people.

“Had it been people who look like me, had it been the same amount of people, but had they been black and brown, we wouldn’t have made it up those steps,” Bush said. “We wouldn’t have made it to be able to get into the door and bust windows and go put our feet up on the desks of Congress members.”

She added, “It was white privilege, and it was the call of our president and it was encouraged by our Republican colleagues.”
