“Male Squad member” Jamaal Bowman — the man who “accidentally” pulled a fire alarm in a U.S. Capitol office building — is facing a primary challenger who looks to be crushing him. In the most recent poll of the race, which is set to take place June 25, Bowman trails his challenger, George Latimer, by a full 17 percentage points.
Things just got worse this week for Bowman — and in an embarrassing way. A group representing black voters, the National Black Empowerment Action Fund, plans to invest at least $500,000 in an effort to unseat Bowman.
The group’s founder, Darius Jones, explained that it jumped into the race because of Bowman’s extreme positions. Bowman, a radical progressive, said just yesterday, “The Israeli government is committing a genocide.” Earlier, he claimed that reports of Israeli women being raped during Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack were a lie, before later walking back those claims. In a press release, the National Black Empowerment Action Fund called Bowman “an extreme Democratic Socialist.”
Jones stated, “We’re trying to champion an effort to help amplify the voices of Black voters who are focused on safe communities, good-paying jobs, driving down the cost of living, having school choice for their kids, health care and just realizing better life outcomes.… And it’s going to take responsible leadership that’s keenly focused on those priorities as opposed to far-flung ideologies and agendas.”
Bowman has gone too far to the left for many liberal voters to stomach. But for those on the most extreme left, he remains a champion, as earlier this week the Democratic Socialists of America lent him its endorsement.
Latimer, Bowman’s challenger, said in response to that endorsement, “After desperately begging for support from a group that wants to pull the US out of NATO; end sanctions against Russia, North Korea, and Iran; wipe Israel off the map; stonewall President Biden’s agenda; and legalize fentanyl, my opponent was endorsed by DSA…. On June 25th, once the actual Democrats of #NY16 have been heard, I’m confident this extremist agenda will be soundly rejected.”
It will be glorious when Bowman is removed.
