New York Rep. Bowman Tries to Erase His Anti-Israel Past on Colbert Show
Bowman’s only “changed” because he’s about to lose his primary.
Squad member Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is a real piece of work.
Bowman is a far-left Israel hater who will likely lose his primary. He’s been trying to walk back all of those anti-Israel statements he has made. He totally has never repeated Hamas propaganda, right?
Bowman attempted to do all of that on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert on Wednesday.
Did Colbert push back? Of course not:
COLBERT: Especially in the Democratic Party in the primaries right now. Can you clarify where you stand and do you understand why some people have gotten upset about what you said?
BOWMAN: Yes, October 7th was incredibly traumatic. It was a war crime, it was a terrorist attack. We condemned it right away because they killed innocent civilians. It was horrible. However, the response has been collective punishment and tens of thousands of civilians have been killed and that’s why we called very early on for a ceasefire and for us a permanent cease-fire, it means stop the fighting, release the hostages, get humanitarian aid in there because famine is setting in and children are starving to death, and please, please, please, let’s find a pathway to peace.
Because this is — and this is not just about, you know, Gaza and Israel in the Middle East, my entire life it seems like we’ve been engaged in some kind of war and conflict. We continue to spend trillions of dollars killing people and we can’t even find enough money to provide food and clean water to children all of the world and so my hope is peace, my hope is a two-state solution, but we have to put the guns down to come to the table to negotiate for peace.
COLBERT: And what do you think — what do you think — the world sees what’s happening in Gaza right now and their heart breaks for the tragedy for the Palestinian people and the innocent people who have died and their heart breaks for the horror that was inflicted on the Israeli people on October 7th. What do you think the United States’s role is in exercising what power and influence we have two make the peace come about or to achieve the two-state solution?
We’ve been trying it for so many years, we’ve been involved for so many years. Ultimately, what do you think our job is and how can we best use our position in the world?
BOWMAN: Yeah, we have a foreign policy that pretty much follows the idea of peace through strength and what that means is we need to have a very strong military so that we can scare other countries into doing what we say. I wish we would use our wealth and our resources and our means to lead with diplomacy. That’s what I wish.
We already have the mightiest military, can we use our resources to fight climate change? Can we use our resources to make sure every child has clean water? Can we use our resources, in this particular case, to actually build the Palestinian state through policy, but also through resources? Don’t just talk about it, take the steps to ensure this to ensure a two-state solution so that the Israelis are safe and they have self-determination Palestinians are safe and have self-determination.
Colbert sanitizes Bowman's (he called reports of Hamas raping women "propaganda") history of anti-Semitism, "Your opponents have criticized your opposition to U.S. support for Israel’s military response… do you understand why some people have gotten upset about what you said." pic.twitter.com/qfvnad6hbm

That’s…that’s pretty different from what Bowman has said for months.
Bowman denied the horrors afflicted on Israelis on October 7th, including the numerous rapes.
Congressman Jamaal Bowman is a rape denier and rabid antisemite.
His primary is on June 25, 2024 in NY district 16. Bowman is running against George Latimer.#VoteLatimer #ByeBowmanpic.twitter.com/dJQIohRube

What a shock that Bowman has turned course. He’s about to lose his primary.
Bowman also apologized during a radio show on WNYC:
“Immediately when the UN provided additional evidence, I voted to condemn the sexual violence. I apologize for my comments and now we’re continuing to do the work to fight sexual violence and domestic violence in all its forms.”
Oh and “left leaning” lololololol. He is back flipping into the left.

In 2022, Bowman won this seat by by almost 30-points. His opponent was Miriam Flisser, a Jewish immigrant born in ‘Eastern Europe’ and a practicing pediatrician. I believe Flisser is unopposed in the GOP primary next week.
The district simply is not competitive for Republicans w/Cook Report showing it Dem+20. However, given how damaged Bowman is right now, if any Democrat could lose that seat, it’s him…particularly against a Jewish doctor. So, I’m hoping Bowman wins the primary. He’s the best chance the Republicans have.
No, that seat is not won in the general election, it’s won in the primary. He won that seat in 2020 by defeating Elliot Engel 55.4% to 40.6%. Once he’d done that, the 84% he got in the general was unremarkable.
Any constituent who seriously opposes him is registered as a Democrat so they can vote against him in the primary. So if he wins the primary he’s sure to win the general too;
Wrong. No elected official wins a “seat” in any primary. What is won is the right to stand in the general election although it may be a foregone conclusion depending on the makeup of the electorate.
This is nonsense and you know it. There are many many seats where the general election is a mere formality, a foregone conclusion, and the place where the seat is won is in the primary of the party that controls it. This is such a seat. Once the Dem primary is won the election is over, and the victor merely has to wait until Jan 3 to be sworn in. There are even such seats where sometimes/often the minority party can’t even find someone willing to put their name up for a token candidacy with a budget of $5, so the Nov election is literally not held.
Are you retarded?
Talk to a mirror. You know very well that there are many such seats.
“Did Colbert push back? Of course not:”
Colbert is a whore, but he’s not even good at that.
I think you owe the world’s whores an apology.
Yes, stop sugarcoating it. I recall what he said about Pres. Trump in relation to Putin, that he was a “member” sleeve for Putin.
Colbert is a rancid cheese.
Does anyone really believe this liar? What he’s saying is on par with the claim that photos of an enfeebled Brandon are cheap fakes.
Stephen Colbert is an amplified version of the equally-fictitious Michael Scott character.
Dear Jamaal—On behalf of the hostages still being held in gaza, f*cyou. Sincerely.
Dear Jamaal and Steve – Keep humming it up, you soulless creatures. May October 7th happen to your children soon.
That dunce Colbert would host this despicable and vile Dhimmi-crat bigot, giving him a platform to dishonestly spin and attempt to rescue his reputation, is indefensible and contemptible.
Shades of Seth Myers hosting the vile and ugly Rashida Tlaib several years ago, in which Tlaib proffered a brazenly revisionist propaganda history in which the Arab Fakestinians allegedly warmly “welcomed” Jewish Holocaust survivors to the middle east, after WWII. As if Jews hadn’t been living in the middle east for millennia before Islam’s founding, and, as if the Arab Fakestinians hadn’t engaged in perennial pogroms and terrorism to eliminate their presence, there.
That’s his job: shaping opinion by rumpswabbing Defecrats.
He gets social forgiveness from cancel culture if he’s black?
Double standard much?
Bowman then received congratulatory emails from fellow
self hating communsit nazzi loving squad members on his brilliant performance
His opponent is backed by Hillary so this pos stands a chance of losing his cushy role
wont matter if he does
he has a solid job opp as another jewwwhating sharptonite
According to a poll of Bowman’s black constituents, conducted by the National Black Empowerment Action Fund, 67% of them still support him. Looks like Bowman reflects the kind of Progressive values held by most black constituents. That translates into a fair chance at Bowman’s reelection.
