The idiotic racialism of Jamaal Bowman

In the wake of the Daniel Penny verdict, the soon to be departing, progressive member of Congress Jamaal Bowman addressed a thread on X to “Dear White People.”

What followed was typical dreck. “I don’t know why I feel the need to keep talking to you,” Bowman opened his missive. “I don’t know why part of me still has hope for you and for us.”

The New York Times appeared to quietly change a headline about a "flood of pro-Israel money" leading to Tuesday's lopsided primary defeat of Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y.

Bowman, an outspoken critic of Israel, suffered a double-digit primary defeat on Tuesday to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a pro-Israel moderate Democrat. The race was defined in part by the bitter schism within the party over Israel and its war in Gaza since the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack. 

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries‘s (D-NY) spokeswoman mocked Justice Democrats’ attempt to pin Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s (D-NY) primary loss on him.

Bowman lost to Westchester County Executive George Latimer, who campaigned as a contrast to Bowman’s stance on Israel and the congressman’s antics in the House of Representatives. Justice Democrats, a hard-left group that supported Bowman, attempted to blame the House’s Democratic leader — Jeffries.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman was trounced in a suburban New York race that became a referendum on progressives’ attitudes toward Israel and the most expensive House primary in U.S. history.

Moderate Democrat George Latimer bested Bowman on Tuesday by 17 points with 88 percent of the vote in, making Bowman the first member of the Squad to lose an election since the far-left group formed in 2018.

George Latimer has unseated Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) in the Democratic primary in New York’s 16th Congressional District, Decision Desk HQ projects, delivering a stinging blow to progressives in what has been the party’s most divisive primary of the cycle.

Representative Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) lost his third-term primary bid to Westchester County executive George Latimer on Tuesday, as New York Democrats overwhelmingly rejected the “Squad” member’s hostile brand of anti-Israel radicalism.

Latimer easily bested Bowman, capturing 55 percent of the vote to Bowman’s 45 percent, with just over half of votes in. The Associated Press called the race less than an hour after polls closed.

The most expensive Democratic House primary in history concluded Tuesday, as New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman lost his seat amid massive spending from the pro-Israel lobby aimed at sidelining progressives in Congress.

Desperate Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) enlisted heavy artillery from his party’s progressive wing for a weekend rally in the Bronx to try to shore up his flailing re-election bid — but viral clips of the event’s cringey on-stage antics show the last-ditch effort backfired badly.

Footage from Saturday’s campaign rally at St. Mary’s Park in Mott Haven showed the severely struggling incumbent and fellow “Squad’ member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) acting like buffoons on the stage, gifting the internet with heaps of unintentional humor.

An increasingly contentious Democratic Party battle between a member of the far-left "Squad" in Congress and his more moderate challenger that spotlights the party's deep divisions over the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza is taking center stage on Tuesday as New York, Colorado and Utah hold primaries.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) hosted a campaign event Saturday in the Bronx, New York, with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), just three days before his primary election.

Bowman, a member of the progressive “Squad” in the House of Representatives, is facing a tough primary challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer. RealClearPolitics polling data from earlier this month showed the incumbent trailing by 17 percentage points.
