In an outright embarrassing effort from the squad led by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his election bid to a primary challenger who is pro-Israel with more moderate political lean, Democrat George Latimer.
Bowman gained much notoriety when he pulled the fire alarm on Capitol Hill in an attempt to stop a vote from taking place. He is also loudly pro-Palestine and the pro-Israel lobbying group, The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), took aim at him to be replaced after crazy statements where reports of rape and brutal violence by Hamas he referred to as “propaganda: and “lies.”
After this embarrassing defeat, Bowman decided to give a concession speech where he angrily blamed “radical, racist, right-wing Republicans.” Of course he was defeated by a primary challenger from his own party, so his statements made little to no sense and his constituents made their voices heard with a 20 point loss at the ballot box.
“We should not be well adjusted to a sick society,” Bowman shouted. “We should be outraged. We should be outraged when a Super PAC of dark money can spend $20 million to brainwash people into believing something that isn’t true. We should be outraged about that.”
“We should be outraged when, unfortunately, some so-called Democrats are aligning themselves with radical, racist, right-wing Republicans,” Bowman said.
