Rep. Cori Bush lost her Democratic primary bid for re-election on Tuesday, becoming the second member of the progressive “Squad” to be ousted this year. Bush, a rabid critic of Israel, was defeated by St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell, who received significant support from pro-Israel groups.
In her concession speech, Bush went on an unhinged tirade against AIPAC.
“All you did was take some of the strings off, she said, addressing the Jewish lobby. “Let’s be clear. Let’s talk about what it really is. Because, see, now I don’t have to worry about some strings that I have attached as much as I love my job. But all they did was radicalize me, and so now they make me afraid.
“See, now they are about to see this other Cori, this other side, because let me say this, I just grew up a whole lot more over the last few weeks – just grew up a whole different way. And so what they are about to get, they think… I don’t think that anything, there is nothing that happens in my life that happens in vain. So this happened, it’s because it was meant to happen. And let me say, it’s because of the work that I need to do. And let me say this: AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down.”
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its super PAC, United Democracy Project, spent $8.5 million to unseat Bush, who had faced criticism for her repeated attacks on Israel. AIPAC celebrated Bell’s victory, saying that “the many have spoken” and congratulating him on his win against “anti-Israel Squad member” Bush.
Bush’s defeat follows a similar pattern seen in New York earlier this year, where AIPAC spent $15 million to defeat another Squad member, Rep. Jamaal Bowman.
Conservatives and pro-Israel groups welcomed Bush’s defeat, with OutKick founder Clay Travis posting that Bush and Bowman were “free to join Hamas together.”

She is a sore loser throwing such child like tantrum
Sore looser like Hillary.
Meanwhile enjoy your גיהינום, now both בעולם הזה ובעולם הבא
It’s was known in history that Jews didn’t play with politics and that in the galus we only suffered from this now from Israel think that we are not in galus no more and it is also people saying that bris milah doesn’t have mesorah
Who’s next?
Her constituents, who are disproportionately African American Christians, do not support genocide of Jews, and perhaps more importantly, do not believe that the continued existence of Jews in the world is a problem that their congressperson should be devoting most of her efforts to “solving”. Congresspeople who focus on issues that are unimportant to constituents often lose their seats.
Well, she just proved their point
Any frum person that votes for the dem ticket this year should be put in cheirem and kicked out of their shuls!
The reason? Harris supports: LGBTQ emancipation, legalizing abortion up to birth (even in the 9th month) and letting violent criminals get off the hook with short sentences. Enough is enough, any frum person enabling this needs to be publicly shamed and humiliated.
It’s is so hypocritical that the black community is always using the race card, however, some of them are the biggest hatters. This will definitely come back to bite them..
That “witch” with a “b” is now relegated to trash heap of washed-up do-nothing politicians…. just where she belongs.
ayn groysa nappy headed beheima
Cori, my dear Machasheifele… Mommy loves you…
Brilliant move by AIPAC.
They got rid of Bowman last month and Bush yesterday.
They found a candidate who is extremely similar to Bush, very progressive, stands for all the things she stands for, only that he is not anti Semitic. Boom, you pump this new guy in and now 2 of the 4 biggest Sonim in congress are gone! BH
Something in this performance just evokes the thought “chaye”.
Fouy !!!! Poor excuse for an animal !!!
Yuch, is all I could say about her, what a pathetic loser
she might give the AIPAC ceo a parking ticket when she becomes a meter maid.
