A DEMOCRAT congresswoman from Missouri supported rioters in a St. Louis jail.​

Inmates broke windows, started fires and tossed debris onto the sidewalk for hours beginning early Saturday morning.

The unrest continued until ​guards using tear gas took back control of the facility.

“​’​A riot is the language of the unheard​,’​” ​Rep. Cori Bush said, quoting the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

“​I want to talk to my constituents in the window. Their lives and their rights must be protected​,” Bush said. “​My team and I are working to ensure that the urgent needs of people who are incarcerated are not ignored.​”​​

Bush had blamed Trump​ when she commented on the Capitol riot last month.​

“I’m in the Capitol. I’m safe, and my team and I are sheltering in place,” the rep wrote at the time. “The President of the United States has incited a riot that has now stormed the Capitol.

“There are rioters roaming the halls of the Capitol. I saw them with my own eyes. Our country deserves better.”​​
