@RepWesleyBellMO The idea that taking questions from your constituents for a whole 90 minutes is some sort of achievement is a wild take. Not as wild as the amount of money you’ve taken from AIPAC.
@RepWesleyBellMO Were the hard questions about an ongoing genocide and your complicity in it? Does the $12 million+ from AIPAC comprise you? Does siccing your personal security and the police on your constituents count as “public service”? Have you personally apologized?

St. Louis police and security for Rep. Wesley Bell got quite rough with townhall attendees at the end of the recent event.
Here's new video from one constituent who filmed some of the assaults and by the end is getting thrown to the ground himself:
@CoriBush was the first member of Congress to push for a ceasefire. Bell accepted $12 million+ from AIPAC and continues to support not only Israel’s genocide but also violently attacking any constituent that dares call out his support for genocide and apartheid.

Constituents were told to stay after Bell’s townhall if they had questions. They stayed & were brutalized. As Trump deepens our country into a police state, it breaks my heart to see the same violence and anti-democratic tactics in STL. Silence & violence are not representation.
@solomonreports@WesleyBell4MO@ksdknews How about some honest journalism instead of running cover for a genocide-supporting politician.

@WesleyBell4MO You’re a mouthpiece for genocide. And classy move to sic your security and the police on your constituents, including a number of Jewish constituents.
“Democracy” for Bell means $12 million from AIPAC and unquestioning support of a genocidal, apartheid state. Thanks to all the brave voices that called Bell out tonight, in spite of being assaulted by security and police. You’re on notice, @WesleyBell4MO.
I want to thank every one that came out to our town hall this evening -- yes the conversations were passionate at times, but Democracy is messy and we have to passionately defend it. At the end of the day we're going to continue to fight for the ST. LOUIS region and for our country
Black and low-income neighborhoods in St. Louis are reeling. They need housing, healthcare, water, relief, not military leadership. Not silence. Not abandonment.
The question isn’t if the system is broken. It’s who it’s working for.

In late April, the federal govt slashed $1B in disaster relief—funds that disproportionately helped Black and low-income communities. Weeks later, an EF-3 tornado tore through St. Louis, destroying 5,000+ homes—mostly in Black neighborhoods. 🧵
Disaster relief from the federal government hasn’t arrived in St. Louis.
Our tax dollars are being rerouted from rebuilding homes and communities to building bombs and war infrastructure abroad.
