Cori Bush

The video was shared by the FBI's rapid response X account Tuesday.

In addition to El-Sayed, it features former Vice President Kamala Harris, Democratic Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, New York, and Ilhan Omar, Minnesota, and former Representative Cori Bush, Democrat from Missouri.

The video plays the beat of Michael Jackson's Smooth Criminal.

Talking about defund the police is not necessarily what makes this ad problematic.

Pressley, right, right, right.

You know, Cori Bush, I think, was part of the squad.

I'm sorry, Rashida Tlaib.

And it was like, here are these women of color that are progressive and speaking out and brilliant.

She was like, I need to keep these women close to me if they can help me get across the finish line.

I did want to ask you about her, though, because, you know, she was one of these squad member candidates and now she's out of office and same with Cori Bush.

And I wonder because it's like we have these two candidates, Jasmine Crockett and Cori Bush, no longer in office.

They've been voted out.

Then

Ilhan Omar is still in there.

Now we have these other Democratic Socialist candidates, Abdul El-Sayed and obviously Zoran Ramdani.

What do you think is happening? Are people going further to the left or is it just because they were bad candidates themselves, Cori Bush and Jasmine Crockett, that now they're no longer in office?

She's... might be one.

I think Cori Bush is probably number one.

Hank Johnson, the guy that said that Guam was gonna tip over.

Yeah.

You had Kristen Sinema.

You had Cori Bush was the squad lawmaker from Ferguson, Missouri.

Then outside of Washington, but not outside of politics, was the New Orleans mayor, um what was her name um latoya the destroyer latoya cantrell all had affairs with their bodyguards and then now in washington there's this new thing where tmz dc exists what do they do they walk up to big-breasted members of congress and ask them about their dating life aoc is one at nancy mace if christian cinema is there they'd be all over that man or a woman this week cinema TMZ showed up just in time for Christian Cinema to leave Washington.

I feel like that's a missed opportunity for them.

I think people forget before there was Hassan Paikran, Abdul Sayyed Mamdani, the squad were the boogie women or boogie men with Jamal Bowman.

And AIPAC got Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush.

The squad didn't go away.

You have your critiques of them.

Like, it feels like nobody... actually believes in Medicare for all or nobody's thinking about 68,000 lives that are lost every single year that somebody loved because Joe Biden in his infinite compassion, according to, sorry, like otherwise compassionate Joe Biden in the words of Joanne Reed, said he would veto this policy and internally, I'm sure, instructed all of his minions in the House and the Senate to block any kind of Medicare for all.

Vote a vote that would expose the extent to which a lot of people who say they support Medicare for all Kamala Harris was one of them, by the way, when she was in the Senate.

never actually believed in it, which is why, I'm sorry, that's why forced to vote became such a divisive issue, because it was an opportunity not just to oust Nancy Pelosi on the face of it, but to extract concessions like a vote on Medicare for All and for committee positions that would both empower those progressives that everyone seems to want to get elected, but just get disempowered and marginalized once they're there, if not all ousted, a la Jamal Bowman and Cori Bush, but then get weaponized and instrumentalized by the corporate party to validate right-wing corporate Zionist leadership like Hakeem Jeffries.

Not even to mention whatever was going on that caused Hakeem Jeffries to intervene to make sure that Hakeem Jeffries wasn't primaried.
