#CoriBush loses #Democratic primary after huge campaign by pro- #Israel groups

"“We will stand up for what is right, no matter the cost,” #Bush said on Tuesday night in a defiant concession speech posted to social media.

“I just hope he [#WesleyBell] actually takes time to learn about our #Palestinian, our #Arab and #Muslim community.”"

"During her concession speech, Bush said she would continue to support “a free #Palestine”, to which the crowd responded with chants of “Free, #FreePalestine”."

The Bush-Bell race is not necessarily what it seems. Below the surface of the political messaging are deeper truths about what these candidates stand for. #stlouis #politics #coribush #wesleybell
