Cori Bush Steered Nearly $1 Million in Taxpayer Dollars to Nonprofit Led by Anti-Semite Who Says ‘Real Jews’ Don’t Live in Israel
12th July 2024
Democratic Rep. Cori Bush (Mo.) steered nearly $1 million in taxpayer money to a youth nonprofit led by Farrakhan Shegog, an anti-Semitic activist who said that those living in Israel are not “real Jews” and that the nation is ruled by “the ones who crucified Jesus.”
Bush boasted on July 7 about her role in funding a new headquarters for Young Voices With Action, a St. Louis group that encourages young people to become involved in leadership in the city. She included a photo of herself at the groundbreaking alongside Shegog, the group’s founder and president, and posted a follow-up featuring another picture of the two with their arms around each other.
