Progressive Squad member Cori Bush had an on-stage meltdown Tuesday after losing her reelection bid.

The progressive Democrat became the second Squad member to be taken down after a hotly-contested primary against a more moderate challenger who hammered Bush for supporting pro-Gaza protests.

Now, she is blaming her defeat on pro-Israel group AIPAC which put a whopping nearly $9 million to oust her, that she threatened to ‘tear down.’

Her unhinged remarks came during a primary election watch party in St. Louis, Missouri, where she took a stage in front of supporters.

Pacing back and forth on the stage and speaking so loudly that the microphone shook, the former Black Lives Matter organizer condemned ‘corporations’ and AIPAC, charging them with orchestrating her ousting.

Defiantly, Bush told the crowd that now she is no longer bound to the decorum of Congress, and that now she had ‘some of the strings [cut] off,’ her opponents will ‘see this other Cori, this other side.’

Squad member Rep. Cori Bush, D-Mo., lost her Democratic primary election to St. Louis-based prosecutor Wesley Bell. Addressing the crowd at her watch party following her defeat, she denounced pro-Israel group AIPAC for plotting against her and ‘put all these corporations on notice’ too

Then she screamed to loud applause an ominous warning: ‘AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down.’

‘Pulling me away from my position as congresswoman, all you did was take some of the strings off,’ she proclaimed.

‘Let’s be clear, let’s be clear, let’s be clear,’ Bush chants over and over again, ‘let’s talk about what it really is.’

Meanwhile, AIPAC on Wednesday morning celebrated Bush’s loss.

‘AIPAC and our 4.5 million grassroots members were proud to help progressive pro-Israel leader Wesley Bell defeat anti-Israel Squad member Rep. Cori Bush last night,’ the group posted on X.

‘Being pro-Israel is good policy and good politics!’

The Missouri Democrat told the approving audience that she now needs to be feared that her tenure in Congress is winding down.

‘As much as I love my job, all they did was radicalize me, so now they need to be afraid,’ she said Tuesday night. ‘They about to see this other Cori, this other side.’

‘And let me put all of these corporations on notice: I’m coming after you too. But I’m not coming by myself. I’m coming with all the people that’s in here.’

‘I don’t fear you,’ she said. ‘I don’t fear anything … so if this happened it was meant to happen.’

The Associated Press projected Bush’s loss three hours after polls closed, while she trailed by about five points.

Bush’s remarks were so harsh it even earned her the scorn of the White House.

‘This kind of rhetoric is inflammatory and divisive and incredibly unhelpful … It is important to be mindful in what we say and how we say it,’ White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Wednesday…
