By Steve BermanYou know what’s great? That voters in St. Louis, Missouri, a city with one of the highest rates of violent crime in the nation, got fed up with their ultra-progressive Squad member Cori Bush and sent her to the locker room. I thought Democrats had actually done some party hygiene. They gave Jamaal Bowman the boot in the Bronx, and now Bush. Both of these losers made their anti-Israel and hatred of Jews a cornerstone of their policy.
You know what’s not great? That the New York Times keeps blaming Bush’s loss on AIPAC, a pro-Israel political action committee, which sunk $8 million in a campaign to let voters know exactly where Bush stands (with Hamas). This is nothing more than reprinting Bush’s talking points and making her into a victim—a victim of Jewish money.
“All they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid,” Ms. Bush said in a fiery speech after her loss on Tuesday evening.
This is absolute, 99.999 fine grade bulls**t. The presumption that a pro-Israel PAC can swing an election feeds into a blood libel that Jews control elections with money. Bush’s primary was indeed the second-most expensive primary campaign in history, only topped by Bowman’s. But pro-Israel PAC money was not the only money spent. Anti-Israel groups spent millions in support of Bush.
The editors at the New York Times don’t trust voters or believe that people have their own minds to make moral judgements for themselves. Nobody is a free moral agent in the progressive mind. Everyone is being controlled (except for themselves, of course). So it’s inconceivable that voters might just not want a rabid Jew-hater who praises terrorists who put babies in ovens, and that when those voters find out what Bowman and Bush actually believe, they decide to go with a more sane alternative. No, these voters were brainwashed, bought by Jew money.
If there’s a more reprehensible, disgusting take on how two Squad members got dumped, it’s that Jews bought the election with their money. This feeds into all the blood libels which have been floating around the world like turds in a toilet bowl for the last thousand years.
Next week, Rep. Ilhan Omar, who openly supports Hamas, faces a primary in Minnesota, the same place Abortion Tim Walz is governor. AIPAC has chosen not to go after Omar, who they believe has solid support in Minneapolis. I hope voters decide to send her home, without the benefit of “Jew money.” That will send a signal, but I don’t see it happening in super-liberal, intersectional Minneapolis.
Meanwhile, Rep, Rashida Tlaib gets away with murder, after she survived her own primary.
Voters need to complete the housecleaning of the antisemites in the Democratic Party. The New York Times needs to stop spreading dangerous blood libels. And Cori Bush is finding herself. Her inner Nazi has finally bloomed in full death’s head:
“AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down!” she shouted.
No, Cori. It’s you who are getting your kingdom torn down. You and all the New York editors who ride in the same parade of awful.
