Last June, local prosecutor Wesley Bell called Rep. Cori Bush to assure her that under no circumstances would he be running against her, according to audio of a phone call between Bell and Bush obtained by Drop Site News.

A few months later, he launched his primary challenge against Bush for the Missouri House seat after being recruited by AIPAC.

    He lied and let down his community when he served as the St. Louis County Prosecutor as a “progressive Democrat”. Then he lied to Cori Bush as this article states.

    I don’t know how this person sleeps at night, but I guess the huge sums of money from AIPAC and a handful of oligarchs is all he cares about.

    Needless to say: let’s all be sure to vote in all elections - primaries are just as crucial. This primary takes place in one week. And if you can, please support Cori Bush so that she can continue to speak truth to power. Thank you!

      Being progressive is so popular people there’s an influx of people trying to hijack the movement. Like John Fetterman which will campaign as a progressive and immediately embrace AIPAC as soon as they get elected.
