As we reported Saturday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez jumped around like an idiot in a get-out-the-vote rally in the Bronx for Rep. Jamaal Bowman, who was facing a primary challenger. It was a blowout, and Bowman lost big time. But AOC warned us as she called for people to turn out for the rally (of 1,200 people, right), tweeting, "Big money, from AIPAC to Wall Street, have poured millions to buy this election." It's true: AIPAC — the American Israel Public Affairs Committee — did sink millions into the election, probably because Bowman is a Hamas sympathizer and rape denier. Bowman even had some words for AIPAC at his rally:
David Weigel (@daveweigel) ~ Bowman up now: “We are gonna show fucking AIPAC the power of the motherfucking Bronx.”
Yeah, but you didn't, though.
Hmmm ... maybe Mayor Adams will hire Jamaal as a fire code inspector, eh?
Check out this New York Times headline about his defeat:
Aviva Klompas (@AvivaKlompas) ~ Has the @nytimes considered that the people of New York were unhappy with Bowman’s performance as a member of Congress? Of course not. It must have been the Jews.
Could it be that he just sucks at his job? That he pulled a fire alarm to delay a crucial vote?
The young people of the Sunrise Movement were very upset:
Sunrise Movement (@sunrisemvmt) ~ There isn’t another way to say it, fuck AIPAC. Our hearts are heavy tonight, @JamaalBowmanNY should be heading back to Congress. #NY16
Wajahat Ali was big mad too.
Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) ~ So if a powerful interest group that exists primarily to support and shield a foreign country dumps a historic amount of money to help your preferred candidate win then that's perfectly fine from now on, yes? Just asking for future elections.
Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) ~ Bowman was down by 17 points in March, before AIPAC spent a dime.
He was down by 17 points three weeks ago, after the ads aired.
He then lost by 17.
Framing this as some deep, dark conspiracy involving Jews and money is, uh, a choice.
As Stephen Miller points out, though, if you point to the billions George Soros spends to elect activist district attorneys and other progressives, you're being anti-Semitic:
Stephen L. Miller (@redsteeze) ~ When AIPAC spends money in a primary election against candidates, it's unfair. When Geroge Soros spends millions in primary elections, it's anti-Semitic.
The Male Uterus (@TheMaleUterus) ~ No, just noticing that Soros spends millions is anti-Semitic.
Mike Oxlong (@birdturddz) ~ Not enjoying that Soros paid to turn your city into a crime infested hell hole is anti-Semitic.
TopSecretK9 (@TopIsMyNamek9) ~ I think you meant when Soros spends billions in any election the media is radio silent, like the MSM could give a fuck.
Again, maybe Bowman just sucked.
MoSmith (@MoSmithHMC) ~ What, if anything, did he actually do for his district?
Terry (@TerryinSoCalif) ~ Maybe his racism, his anti-Semitism, or his illegal antics of fire alarm pulling during a House vote. His latest profanity ridden stunt with AOC at his 50 person rally was the final nail in his coffin.
G. Murphy Donovan (@GMurphyDonovan1) ~ Political garbage bites the dust. Adios.
Bowman is a terrible person who never should have been elected in the first place. It was a mistake, and the voters corrected their mistake.
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
