The representative lost her seat to prosecutor Wesley Bell, who was supported in part by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
Rep. Cori Bush , D-Mo., on Tuesday became the second member of the ultra-progressive congressional group “The Squad ” to lose their Democratic primary election.
“All you did was take some of the strings off,” she said. "All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid." “Once again, a progressive pro-Israel Democrat has prevailed over a candidate who represents the extremist fringe that is hostile to the Jewish state,” AIPAC wrote via email. “During this primary season, the pro-Israel mainstream has sent a powerful message that America stands with Israel as it battles Iranian terrorist proxies. Voters across America are rejecting anti-Israel voices in favor of candidates who understand the vital importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship.
