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:
Bowman up now: “We are gonna show fucking AIPAC the power of the motherfucking Bronx.” pic.twitter.com/KJyJXw2mdm

Yeah, but you didn't, though.
Check out this New York Times headline about his defeat:
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. pic.twitter.com/lkPWgLDAYD
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:
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.
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.
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 and money is, uh, a choice. https://t.co/cfNhYFtb1T pic.twitter.com/FfeXSR8266

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 antisemitic:
When AIPAC spends money in a primary election against candidates it's unfair. When Geroge Soros spends millions in primary elections, it's antisemitic.

No, noticing that he spends millions is anti-Semitic

Not enjoying that Soros paid to turn your city into a crime infested hell hole is antisemitic.
— Mike Oxlong (@birdturddz) June 26, 2024
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.
What if anything did he actually do for his district?
— MoSmith (@MoSmithHMC) June 26, 2024
Maybe his racism, his antisemitism 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.

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.
