Far-left 'Squad' member Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., stopped short of calling the terrorist organization Hamas a terrorist organization in a new interview, suggesting she needed to be careful about labeling. 'Would they qualify to me as a terrorist organization? Yes. But do I know that? Absolutely not,' Bush told The New York Times, going on to recount how she claims to have been depicted for leading racial injustice protests in Ferguson, Missouri.
Have they hurt people? Absolutely,' she said of Hamas. 'Has the Israeli military hurt people? Absolutely.' Bush, along with Rep.

Bowman accused AIPAC of brainwashing voters after he was projected to lose, and argued voters should be outraged. 'We should be outraged when a super PAC of dark money can spend $20 million to brainwash people into believing something that isn't true. We should be outraged about that,' he said in June. Bush's progressive allies, including Bowman, have rallied around her with Missouri's primary election just one day away.
