Bowman Gets the Boot! New York Dumps Far-Left Squad Rep for Centrist Dem Latimer

By Eric Bolling Staff

New York City’s northern suburbs resoundingly rejected squad Rep. Jamaal Bowman during Tuesday night’s primary contest, instead voting through centrist Democrat George Latimer.

Bowman, who represented New York’s 16th Congressional District, had support from fellow progressives Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — but it wasn’t enough to shake his history of anti-Israel rhetoric.

From Fox News:

Bowman – who has been outspoken about his support for Palestinians amid the war in Gaza and has charged that Israel has committed genocide – was targeted by roughly $14 million in spending by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the deep-pocketed pro-Israel group that supported Latimer.

…

We are going to show f–king AIPAC, the power of the motherf–king South Bronx!” Bowman said at the rally, which was held outside the congressional district’s boundaries.

Users on X celebrated Bowman’s loss, many poking fun at his recent event with AOC in the South Bronx; an event that was largely lampooned in the media for all the cursing and over-the-top hype antics.

Many X users also referenced Bowman’s pulling of a fire alarm on Capitol Hill to interrupt a vote — a crime for which he was fined and forced to issue a public apology.

Bowman is the first “Squad Member” to lose a primary election.
