Womp Womp: 'It Pisses Me Off' – Cori Bush Lashes Out in Screaming Concession Speech After Failed Comeback Attempt: 'Respectability Politics Don't Even See You!' (VIDEO)

Ex-Democrat Congresswoman Cori Bush gave a fiery concession speech on Tuesday after losing her congressional comeback bid, saying her loss "pisses me off" before screaming about her tragic defeat. 

Bush lost in a landslide last night.

NBC's Steve Kornacki called the race early for Bush's Democrat opponent, Wesley Bell, as he trounced her by 35 points with only 26% of the vote counted.

WATCH:

Bush was obviously still living in the past when she conceded the race.

"This is something, huh? So tonight, what we just walked through, what we just walked through, is an opportunity for the people to have their voice through a congressional seat because that's what we had from 2021 through 2025, January 3rd, in the morning, to be exact," she began with dramatic and somber pauses.

"And then January 23, I mean January 3, 2025, in the afternoon, that changed, and St. Louis lost. St. Louis, you deserve a representative that sees you, that hears you, that cares about every single one of you. That's why I'm looking at every single one of you, because you deserve that. That's the least. That's the lowest bar."

Bush continued, "And it pisses me off. It pisses me off that for the next two years, this community will be represented by someone that didn't deem you valuable enough to show up to one candidate forum where there were audience comments, even though I showed up to every one because I can speak up for my record, and I can speak against the lies and the smears! But he ran a whole campaign on smears and nothing about what he's done because he hasn't done anything, and nothing about what he will do because he doesn't know!"

Bush spent several minutes railing against her opponent and Republicans, who she claims used her opponent to "target" her district and stop her.

She then began screaming, "What this next two years is going to take first is for us to be informed. You all, we can't be asleep on this, what's happening! We cannot be asleep, St. Louis. You can't let respectability politics! You can't let that be what dictates who is your representative and who is going to serve you because respectability politics don't even see you!"

Little twit?

She looks like she’d pull a rifle at a fried chicken store if they shorted her a tender.

Well, it wouldn’t be the first time that ever happened.

And it’s unbelievable that I can say that as fact. SMH

Thank you.

I read the article twice. Journalism is dead. No mention of what state.

I don’t pay close attention to Dem primaries.

She is dumb enough to cry racism even though she lost to a black guy.

Don't know anything about Bell, so I looked him and Bush up on wiki. He seems to be just another DNC/BLM flunky who does what he's told. The district is solid democrat, hasn't voted (R) since 1911, so Bell will be their rep again.

Bell wouldn't get my vote, but he did do one thing I like --- he kicked Bush's butt TWICE.

“I mean, tell us what you REALLY think, Cori”

She may have but I don’t speak Jive or Ghetto so I wouldn’t know what she says.

I couldn't fine Kornacki - NBC has their primetime shows on during most of the evening. He should have moved to FOX or stayed with MS-whatever...
