After the surprise victory, the ultra-Left political action group called Justice Democrats tweeted the following: “Justice Democrat & Black Lives Matter organizer @CoriBush defeated a corporate-backed political dynasty in #MO01. From the Bronx to St. Louis, the Squad is here to stay, and it’s still growing.”

The "Squad" refers to the young group of socialists that includes Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). Strangely, this socialist sliver of the Democratic Party wields outsized power and influence. And, as the election results in Missouri (and other places) demonstrate, the Squad is on the upswing.

So, who is Cori Bush? According to her website, “Since 2014, I’ve fought for justice in our communities, and I’m ready to bring the fight from protest to politics. We are living through a history-making moment. When we face unprecedented challenges, we must respond with bold solutions and fearless leadership. I’m running for Congress because I am that champion.”
