Squad member Cori Bush launches comeback bid, blames AIPAC for 2024 defeat

Former Missouri congresswoman Cori Bush, a prominent member of the progressive “Squad” and known for her anti-Israel stance, declared her intention to run again for Congress on Friday, JNS reported.

“Right now, we are in the fight of our lives. It isn’t politics as usual, and we can’t afford to operate as such,” Bush said. “This is about survival for our families, and the moment is now.”

Bush lost her seat in the Democratic primary last year to Rep. Wesley Bell, a fellow progressive with pro-Israel backing, who went on to win the general election. Reports indicated that pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC invested $8.6 million in the race to defeat Bush.

“Cori Bush was one of the most hostile, anti-Israel voices in Congress,” said AIPAC spokesman Marshall Wittmann in a statement to JNS. “Our community was proud to help defeat her and help elect a strong Democratic leader, who fights for the people of St. Louis.”

In a video announcing her re-election bid, Bush highlighted her support for Gazans as a key achievement and accused AIPAC of targeting her re-election bid.

So much for reading the room. The worm is turning, Cori and people are figuring out what it is you’re selling. And it ain’t shinola.

What a winning platform! Maybe she can throw her support behind pedophiles, too!

Identifies strongly with other great Missourians, such as Frank and Jesse James and the Younger Brothers.

MAGA base has to be excited and motivated, to overcome in the mid-terms. They will be. But not over her.

Already done. One district will (should) flip from D to R as a result. It won’t be the one where the racist who is the subject of this thread is running. The St. Louis area ghetto district remains solid D but the one around Kansas City now includes enough good areas to elect a good Republican.
