born Nov 23, 1946, is a congressman (D-IL) from the South Side of Chicago. The former pastor and former Black Panther Party leader introduced House Resolution 6666 on the Satanic celebrated May Day in 2020, a bill to track the whereabouts of every American in an effort to reduce the spread of COVID-19. He paid his wife and son roughly $56,000 from his campaign committee between 2019 and March 2022, according to Federal Election Commission records. He advocates monetary reparations for African Americans; is close friend of both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton; called Cuba’s dictator, Raul Castro, “down-to-earth and kind“; a sponsor of the communist Medicare for All bills and has demonstrated support for many other communist and socialist causes; went AWOL from the military in 1968, and became coordinator of the gangster-ridden Illinois branch of the Black Panther Party (BPP), renowned for intimidating local business people into making “donations” to Panther “charities.”
In December 1969, law-enforcement authorities raided Rush’s apartment and found marijuana, booby traps, unregistered weapons, ammunition, training manuals on explosives, and an assortment of communist writings by Che Guevara, Mao Zedong, and others. Rush eventually served six months in prison for illegal possession of firearms. Reflecting, years later, on his tenure with BPP, he explained: “We were reacting to police brutality, to the historical relationship between African-Americans and recalcitrant racist whites. We needed to arm ourselves.”
