Far-left “Squad” Rep. Cori Bush declared that she’s been radicalized after losing her Missouri Democratic primary race Tuesday and vowed revenge against the pro-Israel group that backed her opponent.
“Pulling me away from my position as congresswoman — all you did was take some of the strings off,” Missouri’s 1st District rep told supporters after being defeated by local prosecutor Wesley Bell.
“Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear. Let’s be clear,” Bush shouted into the mic. “Let’s talk about what it really is.
“As much as I love my job, all they did was radicalize me — and so now they need to be afraid.
“Let me say this, AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down,” Bush said, referring to the pro-Israel super PAC that shelled out almost $9 million to unseat the incumbent rep.
The White House on Wednesday condemned the Missouri Democrat’s bizarre rhetoric.
“This kind of rhetoric is inflammatory and divisive and incredibly unhelpful,” White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters when asked about Bush’s remarks.
“We’re going to continue to condemn any type of political rhetoric in that way, in that vein,” she added, arguing that “we cannot have this type of inflammatory, divisive language in our political discourse.”
AIPAC congratulated Bell on his victory Tuesday in a statement, which referred to Bush as an “anti-Israel detractor.”
