From Fox News: Controversial Missouri Congresswoman Cori Bush on Tuesday became the second “Squad” member to lose in a Democratic primary this year, following Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.

Bush, a controversial lawmaker who rose to prominence in the Black Lives Matter movement, was denied a third term when Democratic voters nominated St. Louis County prosecutor Wesley Bell for the seat that represents St. Louis city and part of St. Louis County. Pro-Israel groups spent millions to unseat Bush, a vocal critic of the war in Gaza and the Jewish state.

Bell’s campaign received a big boost from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, whose super political action committee, United Democracy Project, spent $8.5 million to oust Bush. She was targeted after repeated criticism of Israel’s response to the Oct. 7 Hamas attack.

It was a game plan that worked earlier this year in New York. In June, United Democracy Project spent $15 million to defeat another Squad member — Bowman, who lost to George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist.

Bush is fuming over her loss, and is vowing revenge against AIPAC. In her concession speech Tuesday night, she declared, “Pulling me away from my position as congresswoman… all you did was take some of the strings off.”

“Let’s be clear!” she started shouting over and over, “Let’s talk about what it really is! Now I don’t have to worry about some strings attached… all they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid!”

“Now they about to see this other side, this other Cori! What they are about to get…” she began, then adding that this was meant to happen.

“AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down,” Bush screamed. “And let me put all of these corporations on notice, I’m coming after you too! But I’m not coming by myself!”

“What you didn’t want to do was allow me to get radicalized even more, because here’s the thing… I ain’t scared!” Bush further threatened.

After Bush’s loss Tuesday night, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) announced, “The Many have spoken! Congratulations to pro-Israel progressive leader @bell4mo on your big win against anti-Israel Squad member Rep. Cori Bush! AIPAC and our 4.5 million grassroots members are proud to stand with Wesley Bell! Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics! ”

Many are pointing out that Bush’s vicious words sound a lot like a threat.

“Imagine if a Republican member of Congress spoke this way,” X user Sara Rose wrote.

“This sounds like a threat,” noted Libs of TikTok.

“Cori Bush’s concession speech was terrifying and seems to suggest something sinister. She said she’s now radicalized, her strings are off and she’s coming to tear the kingdom down. This is some pretty dangerous rhetoric,” declared Joey Mannarino.

“If she is this tough, why did she need $70k in security?” asked former congressional candidate Kimberly Klacik of Baltimore.
