More garbage in that state

Shhhhh, clay might cheat

Oh this will be good

AndrewYang this is beautiful

Oh goodie, more commies

All these men on here losing their gotdamn minds. Whew! No comments when a man upset another man in an election. 🤦🏽‍♀️

American hating black supremacist that whines about being a victim of the white man.

It's safe to say that Missouri will become a or already is a democratic rundown city.

Cori Bush, a dangerous Marxist, period.

I would support a nurse.But not blm.All lives matter &the people that say that already knew black lives matter. Blue lives matter also.We're sick of front orgs profiteering off tragedy.&just bc there r stupid employees in abt every organization doesn't mean burn the place down.

Winning the primary is not the problem, we want the person who wins the primary goes and win the general election. I don't know this woman and I have nothing against her. We don't want to do the O'Donnell of DE, Sharron Angle of NV.

She'll be joining that other fool AOC

.JoeBiden needs to wake up to the progressive majority who want REAL change. RepRashida - Congrats! RealJusticePAC ewarren progressivedemocrats want a progressive VP. Not a middle of the road compromiser. Slow progress is no progress.

Well, I hope she's a good person and thinks for her self. If so more power to her.

✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾

'Projected by the AP' does not have the same significance as 'Official Count of the Votes' anymore because of the volume of absentee ballot votes resulting from fear of exposure to the COVID-19 virus. The Absentee Ballot votes have not yet been counted. The election is not over.

Well use what blacks say. All BLM BLACK SUPREMACY GROUP. BLAME ALL IF THEY VANT CONTROL ALL.

If democrats needs lose in main. We need make sure the person was no where near rioting. If so person needs drop out for allowing terrorism

Winning !!!!!!! 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊

AndrewYang Karl Marx predicted the inevitability of the Communist revolution and that members of the Borgeoisie would emerge to support the no family, religion, State and the violence necessary for victory as “grave diggers” who didn’t realize that they were bringing on their own demise.

Congratulations fellow RN! Never met a nurse I didn't like!

Shit she is a Black Lives Matter activist she is non-electable she will be defeated they are anti-American and we know it

She is also a pastor. Glad to see actual Christians like Cori in politics!

AndrewYang I’m sure Maoism will put an end to racism.

Is replacing old supremacists with new ones progress?

OMG, I am so proud of Cori Bush and BLM! She will represent and make us all proud. We are behind you!

AND...we passed Medicaid Expansion. Go Missouri!

Congratulations CoriBush ! We need people like you representing us here in StL! 👏👏👏👏👏

i love it. the crazier the left gets the better.

Well our country is quickly turning to shit.

She needs a black football team like the white LA Rams

Darn glad I'm not in missouri.

ClintSmithIII Yay!

Funny how NPRs radio clip on Cori Bush focused on the men who helped her and Clay instead of talking about the Powerful Leader she is. A WOC won because she cares about the people and has proven herself. Do better. And diversify your staff.

AndrewYang

Great another communist terror supporting member of Congress

ProLifeDems are on the rise!!! CoriBush YES!!!!!!!🧢

Listened to her speak on CNN. Quite impressed by her.

Hope she realizes that the oath of office is to support the Constitution and the US, not engage in treason or terrorism to undermine and force socialism.

AndrewYang Oh yay, we're back to electing ppl openly in supremacist groups...gj america.

This proves that the DNC needs to realize the people want change and need real blood. We want people that represents us.

She’s going far... I can feel it!!!

Yay congrats!!!!

Comin fo you whitey

A cop hating racist pos. This is what the Democrat Party is now. This scumbag led riots because of a lie that fat thug Mike Brown had his hands up.

Another communist democrat

This is such good news! Congrats to you CoriBush & to the people of Missouri.

A shame how this was framed as “a blow to the Democrats” by NPR, electing a more progressive candidate than the establishment seat holder Shows how establishment Dems would rather start work from the middle and seek compromise with the GOP than embrace the base on the Left

Barnes_Law Wow that'll fix everything.

This is great news.

And a graduate of a Historically Black College. HBCUPRIDE

BLM IS A RACIST GROUP!!! Wake up people!!!

BLM activist. The org? So she’s a communist?

Perfect. One if the country's best Representatives Katie Porter was a non politician. We need more

I wonder how long it will take her to realize you’d have to raises taxes to 75% across the board to fund the democratic platform.

Reine__Audu Let's vote out ever rightwing Democrat that hides behind the title of centrist or moderate

Go brave! 🌟🔥❤ 💐

BLM is a domestic terror group. Yea, think about that.

If you haven't seen the Netflix Knock Down the House featuring Bush, take a look. It's a good one.

AndrewYang Awesome news :)

Nurses Rock!

This gives me hope!!! Let’s get rid of Mitch the Bitch Kentucky!

BlackAFMermaid This is the progress I want to see. BLM means nothing without BUTTS IN SEATS

Shes hot

Another Stacy Abrams. The Fridge of the Midwest. America being flushed down the toilet by these Socialists.

'Get back to us when progressives start winning elections.'

Excellent another Marxist in Congress.

🥳🥳🥳

The 'activist' principle is also at work in media institutions where the young and easily influenced treat the organisation like 'a democracy' and push aside older colleagues using wokecraft. They are easily influenced by owners and other corporate interests in this work.

Activist democracy is where the young, energetic and easily influenced get funds and influence from corporate and even less savoury donors and destroy civilisation. Never vote for an activist!

YAY!! Power2thePEOPLE

She'll botch it.

I’m sure she hates heterosexual black males just like the rest of BLM! Black feminist are open enemies of black men

Yet another win that hopefully will encourage non career politicians that they CAN win. That America is sick of the old dogs and want fresh new voices & perspectives. And that we are so READY for more of those voices to be women, especially women of color!

Thats nice. So basically we have racists in the house.

All BLM “activists” and supporters should be jailed 10–15 years hard labor for treason

Let's be clear - the Democrat Party has drifted into pure Marxism, which has done so much for North Korea, Cuba and Venezuela. You wonder why anyone with any sense at all would ever vote for a Democrat.

YESSSS

💩

Nooo!!

NPR here i fixed it Cori Bush, a nurse a communist and Black Lives Matter Activist,

Great! Another whack-job just like AOC or IlhanMN

AndrewYang Good!!! Drain the f*cking swamp!

Heres to another 50 years of Democrats running St. Louis into the ground.

People who elect activists essentially have no representation because activists are too myopic to be effective legislative representatives.

ElizabethBanks Her ass can not to be placed in chair.

Good for her that she is a nurse but you can imagine what her brain will start cooking as soon as she has power. No finance or economic understanding of real world. More free loaders and homeless people in MS here i come.

Congratulations! :)

This is the best news! Congratulations CoriBush

AndrewYang Of course she is. 🙄

The ultra radical leftists have taken over the Democrat party. Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization that has taken to extortion to further their communist agenda. The United States will be on the fast track to Venezuelan devastation should Biden Win.

AndrewYang Great. A racist getting in

A nurse who isn’t wearing a mask in public...

Let the momentum keep on rolling!

We love to see this

realLexKaWins BLMIsAMarxistOrganization

AndrewYang Finally. I’m so glad you ran again!

So communists have taken over the Democrat party?

In with the leftist marxists and out with liberal Democrats!

IPM_HQ Damn straight! You should start treating progressive candidates (no matter which office/position they are running for) with the respect and FAIR coverage they deserve.

Cori Bush for the WIN!! BLM 🖤🤎

AndrewYang Keep pushing out these bum ass incumbents 💯👏👏👏

AndrewYang
