Squad Members Cori Bush And Jamaal Bowman Give Farewell Speeches – And Nobody Shows Up

As we near the end of another session in Congress, Americans witnessed the departure of two members of what was once known as the progressive “Squad.”

Representatives Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Cori Bush (D-MO) delivered farewell speeches filled with the usual progressive rhetoric. They were met with very little fanfare.

Bowman and Bush spoke to a nearly empty chamber. In fact, the video shows the pair were only accompanied by fellow Squad Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), and Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). Bowman would be joined by his wife.

The irony of their exit speeches, where they continued to push for reparations, condemn Israel, and echo the sentiments of fringe elements within their party, is not lost on those who have followed their careers.

They were shouting empty rhetoric to an empty room. Their congressional careers in a nutshell.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
