In this fiery and unapologetic interview on Al Jazeera’s UpFront with Marc Lamont Hill, Congresswoman Cori Bush doesn't hold back. She directly addresses her loss in the Democratic primary, placing blame squarely on AIPAC’s massive campaign against her. Bush calls out the pro-Israel lobby for deceptive ads and highlights the $8 million spent to unseat her, all while she stood firm for Palestinian Liberation and Black Liberation. In a powerful response to accusations of anti-Semitism and political priorities, Bush declares, "AIPAC, I’m coming to tear your kingdom down." Watch as she discusses the intersection of Black and Palestinian solidarity, Biden’s foreign policy, and her future political strategy. This interview goes deep into the challenges of speaking truth to power, even when it comes with heavy consequences.

Cori Bush is a trailblazing U.S. Congresswoman from Missouri, community activist, and a former nurse who rose to prominence during the Ferguson protests. Known for her fierce advocacy on issues such as police violence, housing justice, Black maternal health, and reparations, Bush is also a leading voice in the call for Palestinian Liberation. Her unapologetic activism has put her at odds with powerful political forces, but she continues to fight for justice across borders.
