Missouri Democrat Rep. Cori Bush lost her congressional seat to a challenger on Tuesday night, making her the second member of the far-left “Squad” to do so.
Wesley Bell, the candidate for St. Louis County prosecutor, led Bush by double digits, with 54.9% of the vote to Bush’s 41.8% when Decision Desk HQ called the race.
Bush has been ridiculed on social media in the wake of her primary defeat by Republicans.
Pro-Trump comedian Terrance K. Williams posted on X, formerly Twitter: “A ‘BLACK JOB’ IS SOMETHING CORI BUSH DOES NOT HAVE. OH HAPPY DAY! OH HAPPY DAY.
“She is the Second Squad member to lose her seat! I can’t wait until they are all gone. They are all full of hate [and] stupidity. I’m laughing so hard. Who’s laughing with me?” he added.
In a sarcastic post, Florida GOP rep. Matt Gaetz, who is on the House Judiciary Committee along with Bush, wrote: “I will miss Cori Bush missing every committee meeting.”
Ryan Fournier, a co-founder of the Students for Trump group, posted: “The Squad’s Cori Bush has LOST her primary. Join me in saying GOOD RIDDANCE! Hamas might be hiring, Cori!”
