John, first we saw it in Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s primary race, and now it’s happening to Rep. Cori Bush: AIPAC’s super PAC is running racist attack ads.
The right-wing, megadonor-funded lobby group’s super PAC used a distorted photo of Cori, elongating her features and changing her skin tone, on mailers sent to voters this week.
In Wesley Bell’s name, AIPAC is peddling racist caricatures to attack Missouri’s first Black Congresswoman in a disgusting new low even for them. He and his campaign have refused to comment on or condemn this racism.
Like Cori said, “It is shameful that in 2024, our communities are still being targeted with such blatant racism from political campaigns, let alone in a Democratic primary.”
But this is the standard for AIPAC and its MAGA network, which has historically targeted Black and brown progressives and also ran ads with digitally altered images of Jamaal with darker skin tone in New York’s primary last June.
That’s what happens when a group mostly funded by Republican millionaires and billionaires is allowed to interfere in a Democratic Party primary. This election is a chance for us to show that the people reject AIPAC and St. Louis is NOT for sale.
Thank you for anything you can pitch in to defend Cori’s House seat during these critical last days before Election Day.
In solidarity,
Justice Democrats
