George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeats Rep. Jamaal Bowman in New York Democratic primary
Latimer got into the race at the urging of Jewish leaders upset with Bowman’s criticism of Israel.
You're viewing a single thread.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
George Latimer, a pro-Israel centrist, defeated U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman on Tuesday in a Democratic primary in suburban New York that highlighted the party’s deep divisions over the war in Gaza.
Most current members of Congress have been able to repel challenges from within their party, though GOP Rep. Bob Good is in a tight contest with a rival backed by Donald Trump in a race that is too close to call.
In the final stretch of the race, he rallied with liberals Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, while Latimer pulled in the endorsement of former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
Also on Tuesday, Democratic voters on Long Island picked former CNN anchor John Avlon as the candidate who will challenge incumbent Republican Rep. Nick LaLota in a district that’s been controlled by the GOP for a decade.
The Long Island congressional district has become a priority for Democrats as the party tries to flip suburban seats in New York as part of a strategy to win a House majority.
In central New York, two other Democrats are vying to become the party’s nominee to take on U.S. Rep. Brandon Williams, a Republican who represents a recently reconfigured congressional district where President Joe Biden beat Trump by 11 points in the 2020 election.

Latimer claimed, on CNN, that over 50% of his funding was from people in the district, while over 90% of Bowman's was from outside. Couldn't get Bowman's response to that because he declined CNN's invite to appear. Is that what Dems need - pols who can't be bothered to appear on major cable networks?

Local headquarters or not, AIPAC represents Israel, NOT Bronx.
while over 90% of Bowman's was from outside.
Gonna need a source on that. The ass of a conservative Zionist genocide enabler doesn't count.

Probably has better things to with his time than fend off the bad faith questions of billionaire-owned media

Much better than a corrupt genocide enabler at any rate.
If you screech genocide or Zionist enough times you don't win, but in fact you lose.
If you

As the previous, pretty weak.
Whatever you need to tell yourself to downplay your complicity 🤷
While totally ignoring your own complicity. Well done.
How the fuck am I complicit in a genocide I roundly condemn at every opportunity??
Your agnst drives stupidity. So you take a totally valid criticism of a candidate who lost and make it all about your current Cause célèbre, one which you are aware of only on a surface level. Why you think I would have any interest in that I do not know, yet here we are.

Bold words from someone too worked up and/or stupid to do even cursory proofreading on his reflexive insistence on alternative facts 🙄
totally valid criticism of a candidate who lost
Based on what, other than the word of an unregistered foreign agent trying to overcorrect with the "I'm for the locals!" demagoguery?
your current Cause célèbre one which you are aware of only on a surface level.
Says a lot about you that you automatically assume that people only care about the most heinous of crimes against humanity because it's "trending right now" and are utterly ignorant if they don't agree with the right wing establishment orthodoxy.
I've been advocating for Palestine independence since before the Oslo Accords, dumbass.
Why you think I would have any interest in that I do not know, yet here we are.
Now that you mention it, you DO strike me as extremely incurious and thus susceptible to deep seated confirmation bias. Better not waste any more time on your willfully ignorant ass.
Have the day you deserve.
