"Cori Bush is shaping up to be most vulnerable 'Squad' member this election cycle" That Fox News headline practically comes with the drooling of its author. Unelecting a Squad member in Congress has been a top goal of the right wing since the Squad was formed, and now they think they're going to do it. Why? The main reason is the seemingly bottomless pit of money that the right-wing AIPAC (aka the "Israel-can-do-no-wrong" lobby) is dumping into Democratic Primary elections against Congress Members who have failed to support genocide in Gaza. Bush has not shied away from demanding peace. And AIPAC has not shied away from spending Republican billionaire money within Democratic primaries. "In an interview with NBC News' Julie Tsirkin, Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., said she hoped President Biden would call for 'an immediate and lasting cease-fire' in Gaza during his State of the Union address and didn't rule speaking out in protest. Bush's guest, Palestinian dentist and graduate student Dr. Intimaa Salama, discussed what it is like to be in the U.S. as the conflict in Gaza continues." —NBC News How? How do you unelect someone for agreeing with the majority of the public about a horrific war that is traumatizing and killing so many civilians? The main answer seems to be stupid non-news-stories. The latest is that Bush is supposedly facing some sort of outraged backlash for having accurately referred to "the former white supremacist-in-chief, Donald Trump." |
