Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) accused the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of doctoring images of her in a racist manner for an ad sent to voters before the upcoming primary.
The “Squad” member who could lose her House seat lashed out at AIPAC’s super PAC, the United Democracy Project, over the ads that she claims turn her into a “caricature” and deceptively promote racist tropes to her constituents.
In the mailer which was first reported by The Intercept, Bush is given “distorted features that make her forehead look bigger and elongate her features,” the left-leaning outlet claimed.

“It is shameful that, in 2024, our communities are still being targeted with such blatant racism from political campaigns, let alone in a Democratic primary,” Bush said in a statement.
“The people of St. Louis deserve better than to see their first Black Congresswoman racistly distorted into a caricature — I shouldn’t have to ask my opponent to condemn his biggest funders for putting out an ad like this and to apologize to the people of this district,” the race-baiting congresswoman added.
The AIPAC-backed PAC rejected the accusation that it altered Bush’s appearance in the ad as “completely false and absurd.”
In a statement to The Hill, United Democracy Project spokesperson Patrick Dorton said the cooked-up controversy is “an attempt by Cori Bush and her allies to distract from the fact that she is one of the least effective members of Congress, has missed tons of votes, hasn’t passed a single bill, and has opposed President Biden on key issues.”
Bush’s attempt to stir up a faux racial controversy comes as a new poll shows her lagging behind her Democrat opponent, St. Louis County Prosecutor Wesley Bell, who has opened up a six-point lead the week before voters go to the polls in Missouri’s 1st Congressional District.

“In Wesley Bell’s name, AIPAC is peddling racist caricatures to attack Missouri’s first Black Congresswoman in a disgusting new low even for them,” a spokesperson for the extreme left Justice Democrats said in a statement to The Hill.
The Black Lives Matter activist turned congresswoman faces being the second member of “The Squad” to get the boot from voters this year.
In June, foul-mouthed fire alarm-puller Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) had his clock cleaned by 17 points in his own primary where voters rejected a furious late push by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and crypto commie curmudgeon Bernie Sanders to send his pro-Israel opponent on to the general election.
Since her election to Congress in 2020, the 48-year-old self-proclaimed faith healer has been plagued by ethics issues and has contributed nothing positive to the House of Representatives.
With her only “accomplishments” being a constant series of racially-charged diatribes and a demand for $14 trillion in reparations payouts to blacks who were never slaves she won’t be missed if voters do their part next week.
