Progressive influencer Kat Abughazaleh closed out her failed Illinois congressional bid Tuesday night with an expletive-laced tirade against President Donald Trump and federal immigration authorities, telling supporters, "f--- Trump, f--- ICE, free Palestine."
The comments came at the end of her concession speech after losing the Illinois 9th Congressional District Democratic primary on Tuesday.
"I don’t know if you heard, but we didn’t win, and it really f------ sucks. We came really close," Abughazaleh told the crowd, adding that her campaign was "something that no one in power even expected would be possible at all."
Abughazaleh lost the primary to Daniel Biss, the current mayor of Evanston.
Abughazaleh received about 26% of the vote, compared to Biss's nearly 30% support, according to a report from The Associated Press.
"There are progressives all over the country who are taking a chance just like we did, and we have to help them win," Abughazaleh said. "No matter how hard it is, we have sent a message to this administration and anyone who enables it. … You and your jobs are not safe. This is the start and not the end."
Abughazaleh, a Palestinian American, went on to claim the administration was "kidnap[ping] and kill[ing]" citizens, and "start[ing] illegal wars."

“progressives” - euphemism for bizarre, unhinged, whacked-out leftists.
Free helicopter rides are available soon for these clowns.
She looks like she needs a bath
“Progressive” = communist.
[IL-9] Kat Abughazaleh for Jan Schakowsky's seat. Whoever wins the Donkey beauty show wins the seat. Here is a real chance for Hogg to make a quick revenge payback to the DNC and the DCCC. There isn't a chance in hell the DNC and the DCCC are going to permit a Palestinian named "Kat" (and former Republican! who doesn't even live in Jan's District!) to try to take over this majority Jewish district. Martin will get either state Sen. Laura Fine or Evanston Mayor Daniel Biss to run. BUT! Hogghead could bless this nutroot alley Kat with money bambs and it will be game on.
Good one. Her husband is a convicted felon. He ran some organization that sent minions to Trump 1.0 rallies to intimidate supporters into taking a swing at them.
Wow, these woman have no filter for their language in public. They get injured by society and they rant and rave like someone who has had their leg amputated. Who’s teaching them this vile, coarse language? I’m embarrassed for them.
These north shore liberals are as rotten as they come...including Hollywood types. Non stop democrat TV political commercials leading up to primary would make a buzzard puke.
Oh, Oh!
Watch the monkey screech and throw poop.
💯💯💯

Very classy. I can’t understand why she didn’t win, with a vocabulary like that.
So pass a law - include with the SAVE Act - that all federal congressional districts may have no more than 6 sides, with natural boundaries like rivers, shorelines and state lines counting as 1 side. Gerrymandered districts like this one go poof, and disenfranchised voters get a say again.
