Cori Bush criticizes lawmakers who refused to pass through a metal detector outside the House chamber

Representative Cori Bush (D-Mo.) On Wednesday criticized his fellow Republicans who refused to use the metal detectors installed outside the House chamber following last week’s deadly riot in US Capitol.

“To my colleagues who will not go through metal detectors: have you ever had a job before?” Bush tweeted. “If you work at McDonald’s and you don’t wear the uniform, you don’t work that day. If you don’t follow the rules of this job, go find another one. “

To my colleagues who will not go through metal detectors:

Have you ever had a job before? If you work at McDonald’s and you don’t wear the uniform, you don’t work that day.

If you do not follow the rules of this work, go find another one https://t.co/rPO2xek1iB
