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.
