Politics is often described as the art of strange alliances, but former Rep. Cori Bush has apparently decided subtlety is overrated. Her campaign trail now includes a self described Maoist anti-Semite scumwafer who openly defends Hamas and Hezbollah, cheers the desecration of the American flag, talks about "unmaking" America, and casually wonders, "What's wrong with throwing molotovs at a police station?"
Apparently the only thing missing from the résumé was "villain in an 80s action movie."
Bush, who is trying to reclaim Missouri's 1st Congressional District after voters showed her the exit, recently appeared at a campaign event standing beside Christopher Winston, better known online as "BlackRedGuard." Winston has spent years posting revolutionary rhetoric that makes the average college radical sound like Fred Rogers.
Among his greatest hits, Winston mocked leftists who distance themselves from terrorist groups, all while not actually participating in terrorist activities himself because he's a coward.
"If you say sh-- like 'I don't support Hezbollah/Hamas' and call yourself a leftist you lame. All power to all the resistance. Peace through the sword."
That is certainly one way to test the limits of the phrase "mostly peaceful."
Winston has also declared, "Do not fix America. Unmake it." Because rebuilding a nation from scratch has worked out so well every other time Maoists have tried it.
Not content with merely rooting against America, Winston also celebrated attacks on one of its most recognizable symbols.
"I applaud the burning of the American flag. That flag is a symbol of the slavery and genocide which built America. It should always be desecrated in that way." Obviously he's a fool who refuses to acknowledge how slavery was abolished in America, while much of it still goes on in the Middle East while he refuses to discuss that tidbit.
Perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious moment came during a 2024 interview when the dangerous dolt was asked why a committed Maoist would bother hanging around the Democratic Socialists of America.
His answer skipped the usual talking points about organizing and solidarity.
"Well, it's obvious why I'm a Maoist in the DSA. There's a lot of naive young white people to brainwash."
It is rare to hear someone describe the progressive recruitment strategy with such refreshing honesty.
When the discussion turned to political violence, Winston asked:
"What's wrong with throwing molotovs at a police station?" As long as someone else does the molotov chucking.
A cohost nervously suggested that might destroy the organization. Winston's response was even more revealing.
"That's why we want the masses to do it."
Most political campaigns ask volunteers to knock on doors. This one apparently prefers firebombing tutorials.
Cori Bush's campaign had an opportunity to explain Winston's role, whether he was invited, or whether she even knows him. Instead, it responded by sending reporters a Fox News story about Joy Behar defending democratic socialism, apparently hoping everyone would become distracted before asking follow up questions.
Winston's admiration for Bush has hardly been a secret.
"Yeah, I'm a Maoist ultra with dreams of riding into power on a tank like Fidel and Che but in the meantime Cori Bush is the best congressperson right now and we need to back her."
It takes genuine talent to make "I'll settle for Cori Bush until the communist revolution arrives" sound like a campaign endorsement. He might as well have said, "You can hold your nose and pull the lever as long as you vote for Bush."
Bush's orbit has also included anti Israel activists, defund the police advocates, and organizations linked to some of the most radical elements of the American left. At this point, finding another extremist attached to the campaign is about as surprising as finding a pink-hair vegan at a Whole Foods.
The truly absurd part is that none of this appears to be a deal breaker for the activist class.

Imagine the media reaction if a Republican candidate posed beside someone praising political violence or openly admitting he wanted to brainwash young people. Every cable network would interrupt programming with a weeklong democracy emergency.
Instead, Bush campaigns beside a Maoist who defends terrorist groups, applauds flag burning, jokes about Molotov cocktails, and literally says he joined the DSA because there are "a lot of naive young white people to brainwash."
The remarkable part is not that he said it. The remarkable part is that everyone around him seems to have nodded politely and kept handing out campaign signs like useful idiots
