Ding-Dong The Witch Is Dead

You must love the irony that the nasty, corrupt, Israel-hating witch Congresswoman Cori Bush got her bell rung by…you guessed it, Wesley Bell. Bush, a member of the Far Left and Israel bashing Squad was an outspoken critic of Israel and refused to characterize Hamas as a terrorist organization. AIPAC’s PAC supported Bell’s campaign, and her legal issues set her up for the loss.

When Michigan Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib was censured because of her inflammatory language over the Israel-Hamas war, Bush raced to her defense. Among other critical statements, Bush wrote on Twitter, “The U.N. special rapporteur just released a report showing strong evidence of genocide in Gaza.  Meanwhile, the Biden Admin signaled it’ll continue arming the Israeli government. Hollow words aren’t enough. We need action. Stop sending bombs.”

In recent months the soon-to-be-gone Congressman Jamaal Bowman from Westchester, New York met a similar fate to Bush and for a similar set of reasons. He was another Representative who underperformed for his District. Following the anguish of Israel’s October 7 pogrom, he forged an alliance with the Israel-haters and embedded claims of Israel’s genocide into his campaign pitches. Simply, he was a Justice Democrat and full-throated Jew-hating Squad member. For all this, he became the target of AIPAC’s muscular PAC as well as other Israel supporting political affiliations.

The very same day Bush lost in Missouri, Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris chose Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate. Had Harris selected popular Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro with his Jewish identity and his too pro-Israel position, then her intersectional loyalties and intra-party dissention would have been a dilemma her Progressive politics could not resolve. Now, the Harris-Walz 2024 contest against the Trump-Vance Republican ticket gives the American citizens a crystal-clear referendum on a Conservative versus Liberal policy. Questions about Harris’s problematic statements about Israel will receive even more attention.

Soon to be just “Ms.” Bush, when you finally leave your Congressional office, you can finally examine the evidence of what horrors occurred on October 7. You had your four years of opportunity to lead and instead you lost the confidence of your constituents, and you divided.

Let’s all sing together from the song featured in the 1939 hit movie, “The Wizard of Oz…“Ding-dong, the witch is dead”
