Biden-Harris admin slams ousted Squad member Cori Bush for ‘inflammatory’ rhetoric after she told Jewish lobbying group ‘I’m coming to tear your kingdom down’

The White House attempted to distance itself from Congresswoman Cori Bush on Wednesday following her "inflammatory" comments after her primary defeat on Tuesday. Bush lost to St. Louis prosecutor Wesley Bell and will not be returning to the US House after her term expires this session.

Bush has complained that Wesley Bell was backed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In her concession speech, Bush warned that the group should “be afraid” and that it had “radicalized her.” New York Squad member Jamaal Bowman, who also speaks out for Palestinians over Israel, also lost his seat. Both races were insanely expensive.

"AIPAC, I'm coming to tear your kingdom down," Bush declared. "And let me put all of these corporations on notice, I'm coming after you, too!" Bush was elected to office after her role as a community and political activist following the race riots in St. Louis after Michael Brown's death.

In response to Bush's comments, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre emphasized the importance of lowering political rhetoric. “The President has always been very clear and very recently after the assassination attempt of the last president about lowering rhetoric – lowering the rhetoric and the importance of doing that,” Jean-Pierre said in a statement to the Daily Mail.
