Biden has made his stance towards The Squad very clear and hateful, shameless liberals are fuming.
The White House has strongly criticized Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) for her recent inflammatory comments targeting the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) and its affiliated super PAC, the United Democracy Project. Bush’s remarks came after her defeat in the Democratic primary to St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell.
During her concession speech on Tuesday night, Bush expressed her frustration and vowed to retaliate against AIPAC, saying, “As much as I love my job, all they did was radicalize me, and now they should be afraid. They’re about to see this other Cori, this other side. And let me say this: AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down!”
Bush’s loss was partly attributed to the substantial financial support Bell received from AIPAC-linked groups. The primary race was notably contentious, with significant focus on Bush’s outspoken criticism of Israel and its policies in Gaza. Bush has frequently condemned Israel’s actions, referring to the ongoing conflict as an “ethnic cleansing campaign” and calling for a cease-fire shortly after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.
In response to Bush’s statements, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre denounced her rhetoric as “divisive” and “inflammatory.” She emphasized that President Biden has consistently advocated for lowering political rhetoric and fostering unity. Jean-Pierre underscored the need for careful and respectful discourse, especially given recent events, including the assassination attempt on a former president.
Jean-Pierre stated, “The president has always been very clear about the importance of lowering rhetoric. This kind of language is incredibly unhelpful and contributes to a divisive atmosphere. We need to be mindful of how we speak and what we say.”
Bush’s primary defeat marks the second loss of a “squad” member in recent elections, following Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.), who also faced defeat amid similar controversies over his stance on Israel. This trend highlights the growing impact of pro-Israel advocacy groups in shaping Democratic primary outcomes.
