Progressive Squad member Cori Bush had an on-stage meltdown Tuesday after losing her reelection bid.
The progressive Democrat became the second Squad member to be taken down after a hotly-contested primary against a more moderate challenger who hammered Bush for supporting pro-Gaza protests.
Now, she is blaming her defeat on pro-Israel group AIPAC which put a whopping nearly $9 million to oust her, that she threatened to 'tear down.'

We won’t have Cori Bush to kick around anymore?
Back to Walmart you go!
Israel has friends in high places.
I don't know Cori, maybe its just that even your democrat constituents are simply tired of your non-stop woke stupidity.
The disgusting Squad is an abomination on America!
Good riddance to the two defeated Squad members!
This.
I suppose since you defunded the police while using taxpayer money to hire your own personal security detail, that you are really at a disadvantage on several fronts now, huh?
Head on a swivel and one eye open as you smell those burning tires. You made that mess. You live it along with us now!
Well, she isn't wrong ... she's just arrogant. That's all.
Her opponent is just as woke. A black leftist Democrat. But one who bent the knee to Israel as the price of victory.
Who Is Wesley Bell, the Prosecutor Who Ousted ‘Squad’ Member Cori Bush?.
Mr. Bell has advocated robust criminal justice reform. He has said he would have appointed a special prosecutor in the Ferguson case, which did not result in charges against the officer who killed Mr. Brown.
As the St. Louis County prosecutor, according to his campaign website, he has diverted 2,500 nonviolent offenders to substance-abuse and mental-health programs, an approach he says has allowed his office to focus on preventing violent crimes.
After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, Mr. Bell signed a letter pledging not to prosecute those who sought or performed abortions. He has said that he would support federal legislation enshrining reproductive rights into law.
What to know about Wesley Bell and his win over ‘Squad’ member Cori Bush.
After graduating from law school, Bell worked as a public defender in St. Louis County, where he learned about “the lack of common sense and fairness in the criminal justice system,” according to his campaign website...
He became a city council member in nearby Ferguson, Mo., in 2015. In Ferguson, Bell experienced firsthand the national angst that followed the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was shot there by police officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014. According to STLCC-Florissant Valley, Bell was active on campus in the aftermath, leading “listening circles and other restorative justice programs for STLCC students and local community members” and organizing “professors to distribute STLCC applications at protest events.” Bell said: “That experience is why I got into public service.”
Blowhard. Too bad she hasn’t realized how the Democrat party has enslaved Blacks for decades with welfare programs that created the ghetto.
I doubt we are rid of her forever. She might try a write-in campaign or take a non-elected position on another rep's staff . Same for Bowman. They're both rabid anti-republicans, someone will put them to work.
What’s kinda comical is that both losing squad members were beat by pro-Israel democrats.
Lol
A Democrat blaming “the Jooos”?!! Shocking.
lol.
What is this pro terrorist bitch going to do, hate the Jews more?
Glad she’s gone, But the truth is that she is probably going to be replaced by a slightly less radical Democrat, leading to no effective change in how we are governed, at least not regarding this particular congressional district.
Blame the J-E-W-S.
-PJ
She’s going to miss the gravy train like nobody else, except the Bidens.
She may have to moderate her Jew hatred to get the automatic gig on MSNBC.
