'We weren't intimidated': A diary of Cori Bush's first two weeks in the House

The freshman congresswoman talks about what it was like to be in the Capitol during the attack, getting booed for denouncing white supremacy, and the Republicans who mistook her for Breonna Taylor

The first two weeks of Cori Bush's freshman week in Congress couldn't have been more turbulent. Three days after the Missouri representative was sworn in, the Capitol was stormed by white supremacists looking to overturn the election. She gave her first criticisms of the Biden administration, saw her Twitter following grow by 185,000 and, last but not least, voted to impeach the president. And she did all of it without a paycheck, as one of the very few representatives that was neither a millionaire nor a career politician before joining the House of Representatives.

The Guardian caught up with her to discuss her first fortnight in the House.
