Former Rep. Cori Bush, now mounting a 2026 comeback bid to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, appeared alongside far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker at a May Day rally in downtown St. Louis on May 1.
During the event, the radical left duo unleashed attacks on Republicans and pushed demands to abolish ICE.
The rally at Aloe Plaza near Union Station drew hundreds of protesters from labor unions and community groups demanding higher wages and an end to ICE.
Bush, who lost her seat in the 2024 Democratic primary to incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell, used the stage to campaign aggressively ahead of the 2026 primary rematch.
In one clip shared by RNC Research, Bush openly acknowledged the disconnect between Democrats and voters while speaking to Piker before taking the stage.
“What they said is that ‘[President Trump] fights for me’…people don’t feel that way about the Democrats,” Bush admitted.
In her actual speech, Bush escalated her rhetoric on immigration enforcement, calling to abolish ICE and threatening to primary any elected official whose police cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
“Any elected official that is standing saying that our police need to work with ICE, we coming to vote you out,” Bush declared.
