Democratic Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush on Tuesday demanded an apology after one of her Republican colleagues called her husband a "thug" and suggested that she shouldn't be so outspoken if she does not wish to receive death threats.
Commenting on the U.S. Justice Department probe of Bush's alleged misuse of campaign funds to pay her now-husband Cortney Merritts to provide private security services, Rep. Troy Nehls (R-Texas) told CNN's Melanie Zanona that the progressive congresswoman "doesn't even support the police."
