Outgoing Democratic Missouri Rep. Cori Bush gave her farewell address to a near empty room Friday after the far-left member of “The Squad” lost her primary to a moderate Democrat.
Bush spent much of the 33-minute speech reviewing her own accomplishments before thanking her political allies, getting emotional as she did so.
“I am so grateful and I am so honored,” Bush began, before becoming choked up, “to have the greatest group of friends within these walls who are anything but silent.”
She thanked her fellow members of “The Squad,” a colloquial name for the group of far-left lawmakers that included New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley, Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar and New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who also lost his primary.
