‘Bye-bye’: George Santos laughs at Cori Bush’s ‘humiliating defeat’ in primary and warns ‘Squad’ to ‘watch out’ – Washington Examiner
Former Republican New York Representative George Santos reacted to the primary defeat of Democratic Rep. Cori Bush against pro-Israel challenger Wesley Bell. In a video shared on social media, Santos laughed as he commented on Bush’s loss, stating, “I’m not going to be a bad person,” followed by gleeful remarks like “Bye, Cori!” and “Oh my God! 68 to 33! Humiliating defeat!” He expressed satisfaction at Bush’s defeat, referring to it as “humiliation” for both her and fellow Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who has faced his own controversies. Santos’s remarks highlight a continuing political rivalry and the shifting dynamics within the Democratic Party.
‘Bye-bye’: George Santos laughs at Cori Bush’s ‘humiliating defeat’ in primary and warns ‘Squad’ to ‘watch out’
Embattled former Republican New York Rep. George Santos took to social media to react to the defeat of “Squad” Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) in her Democratic primary Tuesday night against pro-Israel prosecutor Wesley Bell.
“I’m not going to be a bad person,” Santos said on a video posted on the X platform while he attempted to temper his words but then laughed loudly.
“Bye, Cori!” he continued to laugh.
“Oh my God! 68 to 33! Humiliating defeat! That’s exactly how I like to see it,” Santos said, reacting to Bush’s loss.
“Humiliation for Cori and Jamaal,” he said, referencing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY), who was convicted of pulling a Capitol building fire alarm and was recently defeated in his primary.
“Who’s next? 2026! Squad, watch out! We’re coming to getcha. Bye!” he snarked.
Santos was expelled from Congress last year after pressure from Republicans and Democrats, including Squad members, who voted to oust him over numerous alleged ethics violations and federal charges that accused him of aggravated identity theft and misuse of campaign donations. He has pleaded not guilty and has attempted to get the charges against him dismissed.
In an interview with the New York Times last weekend, Bush struggled to admit that Hamas was a “terrorist organization.” She also protested Israel’s military activities in Gaza and boycotted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s joint address to Congress.
Her Democratic opponent had the backing of pro-Israel groups and had been gaining traction in polls for months leading up to this week’s primary in Missouri. Bush had launched her career as an anti-police activist amid the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, over the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown.
