Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman has become the first member of The Squad to be ousted from Congress after a crushing defeat in his New York primary.
Support from fellow progressive Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez couldn't save the fire-alarm-pulling Bowman as his opponent George Latimer, 70, secured a convincing victory on Tuesday night.
'Jamaal Bowman should pull the fire alarm again because he is going to be smoked by [Latimer] today,' former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D, wrote on X. 'The message is clear: anti-semitism in any and all forms will not be tolerated in New York.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., said 'good riddance' to Bowman's loss on X. 'From his juvenile fire alarm antics to his vile anti-Semitism to his profanity-laced tirades to his support for open borders & defunding police, Jamaal Bowman has been an embarrassment to his party, his district & our state.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., shared a clip of a heated exchange he had with Bowman off the House floor over gun control last year.
Last week Bowman came under fire for a new report claiming he asked a Jewish leader to send him photos of them together to prove he has Jewish friends.
A private text between Bowman and an unidentified Jewish leader from when Bowman first ran for re-election in 2022 was published by Jewish Insider on Tuesday.
