Far-left Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) rushed to defend hardened criminals that were rioting in a St. Louis prison after attacking a corrections officer on Saturday, a move that drew instant criticism given her response to the riot that broke out at the U.S. Capitol Building last month.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the riot inside the City Justice Center broke out during the early morning hours on Saturday when an inmate who was mad at one of the guards decided to attack the guard, at which point other inmates joined in. Eventually, well over 100 inmates broke free from their jail cells and started a riot, breaking windows and setting fires. Authorities did eventually regain control of the facility.
