It’s not even November and the “squad” is already down one member — thanks in no small part to his tacit support for Hamas in its war against Israel.
In New York’s 16th Congressional District, Westchester County Executive George Latimer defeated incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman in one of the most-watched primary elections of the 2024 campaign season.
Polls had shown Bowman down, particularly because of controversial and inflammatory stances on the Israel-Hamas war in a district with a heavy Jewish population. Perhaps most notably, during a debate between the candidates, Bowman refused to condemn the chant “from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as anti-Semitic hate speech.
With 88 percent of the vote counted, according to The Washington Post, Latimer held a 58.4 to 41.6 percent lead over Bowman in the district, which includes parts of both the New York City borough of the Bronx and southern Westchester County.
While Bowman had long been trailing in the polls, his campaign tried to cast those surveys as partisan and inaccurate. However, the final nail in the coffin for the embattled “squad” member likely came last Wednesday, when Hillary Clinton endorsed Latimer on the same day Bowman unleashed a tirade accusing Latimer of being a polybigot.
His parting gift should be a wood plaque with a fire alarm pull station attached.
Utterly amazes how the Jewish community still votes democrat in spite of their obvious direct conflict with Israel and support of hamas…
We haven’t the election yet 2:38, it will be in November. 🥴
