Cori Bush claimed her faith healing helped a sick toddler walk, healed woman's tumors

Stories about Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush miraculously healing a woman with tumors and causing a sick toddler to walk have resurfaced. 

In her 2022 autobiography "The Forerunner: A Story of Pain and Perseverance in America," Bush wrote about her time working as a faith healer. During that time, the New York Post first reported she claimed that she had an almost supernatural ability within her to heal others.

One instance included helping a disabled toddler to walk.

"The child had had a bleed in her brain, shortly after she was born, and so couldn’t walk. She had never taken a step in her life," Bush wrote. "I carried the child from the prayer room in the back of the church out into the sanctuary . . . ‘Walk,’ I said gently to the three-year-old girl, ‘you will walk.’ And this girl took her first step. Then another, and another. She walked."

CORI BUSH ACCUSED OF 'GRIFTING' FOR INTRODUCING MIKE BROWN BILL: 'SHE KNOWS SHE'S LYING'

"Her grandmother walked into the sanctuary just in time to see the child take about two dozen steps. She screamed, and then she kept screaming," she continued. "When she caught her breath, she looked at me in wonder and said ‘Praise God.’ She grabbed her granddaughter and walked with her out of the church."

Another example was Bush healing a woman from multiple tumors. 

"One woman whom we met had several visible tumors on her torso. She was due to have surgery but lacked health insurance and living in the park. One of the tumors was particularly painful to her. I laid hands on her and prayed, and I felt that my hand was no longer touching a tumor. It shrank along with the others on her body," Bush recounted.

The "Squad" member also suggested that this was done through the power of God within her.

"As I learned how to apply God’s Word to my life in new ways, I better understood the power that was already residing in me," Bush wrote.

She continued, "It was there, waiting for me to acknowledge it, to use it. I had the confidence to heal others with God’s power."

Fox News Digital reached out to Bush’s office for a comment.

Though Bush’s autobiography was released in 2022, the book only sold 729 copies in its first week, according to the New York Post.

Her history as a faith healer also resurfaced less than two months away from the Missouri primary election on Aug. 6. Bush is currently struggling against primary challenger Wesley Bell both in the polls and in campaign funding.

Past filings showed that her committee went into January with just $215,000. Bell was shown to be better positioned and reported $408,000 in the bank.

Florida police officers indicted for manslaughter in 2019 shootout that killed UPS driver, passerby

Four Florida police officers have been indicted for manslaughter in the deaths of a UPS driver and a passerby during a 2019 shootout with suspects who hijacked the UPS driver.

A grand jury indicted Miami-Dade County officer Rodolfo Mirabal, 39, on two counts of manslaughter with a firearm in connection with the Dec. 5, 2019, deaths of UPS driver Frank Ordonez, 27, and Richard Cutshaw, 70, who was driving nearby, Broward County prosecutors said on Saturday.

Officers Jose Mateo, 32, Richard Santiesteban, 33, and Leslie Lee, 57, were indicted for manslaughter with a firearm for Ordonez's death, but they are not facing charges in Cutshaw's death.

Mirabal and Mateo still work for Miami-Dade police, while Lee retired three years ago and Santiesteban was terminated, according to the Miami Herald.

None of the officers were charged in the deaths of hijackers – and cousins – Lamar Alexander, 41, and Ronnie Jerome Hill, 41.

The officers surrendered on Friday and Saturday to the Broward Sheriff's Office after the indictments were issued more than a week ago. They were released without bail.

If convicted, the officers face a maximum sentence of 30 years.

Broward State Attorney Harold Pryor said the years-long state investigation and the months-long grand jury proceedings were necessary "to ensure we get answers for the victims' families and the community."

"Deciding whether to use deadly force is among the most serious and consequential decisions a police officer can make," Pryor said in a statement. "We understand that these decisions are often made during intense and uncertain circumstances."

Miami-Dade police previously said in a statement that it "respects the legal process."

ROBBERS KILLED IN FLORIDA UPS TRUCK HIJACKING, SHOOTOUT WITH POLICE ARE IDENTIFIED

The union that represents the officers criticized the indictment last week.

"We're extremely disappointed that after almost five years, these officers are finding themselves indicted for something they had seconds to decide," South Florida Police Benevolent Association president Steadman Stahl said in a statement. "It sends a chilling effect to officers in Broward County."

The shootout took place during rush hour on a street in suburban Fort Lauderdale, Florida, following a pursuit by several police agencies.

About 20 law enforcement officers were at the scene, although it remains unclear how many fired their guns at the hijackers, who had been shooting at officers during the pursuit.

Alexander and Hill allegedly robbed the Regent Jewelers store in the Miami suburb of Coral Gables and were firing shots inside the store when officers arrived. A store employee was wounded during the incident after being struck in the head by a ricocheted bullet.

The robbers fled the store and hijacked Ordonez as he was delivering packages nearby. The pair then led officers on a lengthy chase into southern Broward County, firing at them during the pursuit while Ordonez was still inside the van.

The suspects eventually stopped in a middle lane at a busy intersection when they were trapped behind a wall of vehicles at a red light.

The shootout began as officers ran between cars while making their way toward the van. Alexander, Hill and Ordonez were killed inside the van while Cutshaw was found dead in his car.

Investigators have not disclosed if Ordonez and Cutshaw were shot by police, the suspects or both.

It is unusual for Florida law enforcement officers to be charged in an on-duty killing, with only three such cases in the past 40 years. Of those, only one officer has been convicted.
