Progressive influencer erupts after Illinois primary loss, drops profane anti-Trump, -ICE rant
Fox News ^ | 3/18/26 | Alexandra Koch, Patrick McGovern

Posted on 03/19/2026 2:31:53 AM PDT by Libloather

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."

That thing is not Palestinian or American.

It’s an Arab who was prior living in Gaza. The lowest type of Muslim troglodyte, after Somali’s.

All immigration needs to stop for at least 50 years. At least.

This lunatic received 25,000 votes and came close to winning - that should scare everyone in the District

The 9th district, cynically gerrymandered by democrat filth to give north shore liberal scum perpetual wins over more conservative northwest suburbs. The communist Jan Jackoffsky held the seat forever and now the beyond loathesome ringpiece mayor of Evanston, Daniel Piss, will be taking over. District even looks liks the snake these bastards are.

To people in any other state, that district looks wildly gerrymandered and downright laughable. To people in Illinois, it looks perfectly reasonable.

That was when he was on Fox News. I expect she welcomes him to the tribe now. He is not that different in his views than her with respect to Israel and the Jews in the Diaspora.
