AOC-Endorsed Candidate Set to Defeat Longtime Rep. Engel; Can't Wait to 'Cause Problems'
CNS News ^ | June 25, 2020 | Patrick Goodenough

Posted on 06/25/2020 6:52:39 AM PDT by kevcol

In New York’s 16th congressional district, Jamaal Bowman, an African American former middle school principal backed by the Justice Democrats – as were all four squad members in 2018 – has declared victory over Rep. Eliot Engel, the 73-year-old chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Congress since 1989.
.
.
.
“I’m a Black man raised by a single mother in a housing project,” Bowman tweeted on Wednesday. “That story doesn’t usually end in Congress. But today, that 11-year old boy beaten by police is about to be your Representative. I can’t wait to get to DC and cause problems for those maintaining the status quo.”

I always liked the “son of a sharecropper” autobiography.

These wins by hardcore leftists in the Dem primary take out a lot of longtime kneejerk liberals but put pressure on Pelosi and Biden which is fine with me. So you have AOC, Ilhan Omar, Pressley, this guy and possibly a replacement for longtime left liberal Carolyn Maloney (too close to call). They are getting to the point where they are the margin for Dem passage of legislation so they will drive Pelosi further to the left as well as Biden, although I would imagine he doesn’t know where he’s at.

It ain’t your grandfather’s Democrat Party anymore.
The Radical Left is seizing total control of it.

Having Biden atop the ticket is just an attempt to fool ‘em one last time.

Hah! AOC, BLM and the Resistance are the weapons of choice of the status quo. It's Trump that has disturbed everyone's $4it.

“I’m a Black man raised by a single mother in a housing project,”

Very sad how common of a story that is.

Good. For years now, Dem “street rhetoric”, cultivated in neo-Marxist studies in universities, was way ahead of their official rhetoric coming from their DC leaders. Now it will catch up.

Sounds a bit like Trump, shaking things up and speaking truth to power - too bad he is not a conservative.

UpChuck Schumer will be the next left wing Jew to fall. AOC will take him out.

Eventually, the Frankenstein monster that the Rats have created will devour ALL the Jews in that party. Just you watch.

-- Peter Principle at work. --

Or a corollary that applies to universal suffrage. What happens when the managers are chosen by popularity contests open to the general public.

Did these moronic white liberals think Frankenstein’s Monster wouldn’t turn on them? Demographics is destiny.

Much of the district (near me) is now
Black and Hispanic (e. g. Bronx, Mt. Vernon, and
yes New Rochelle although a lot of NR like
the fictitious Petries area is leafy and tony)
But lots of the usual lib pukes as well

So people who can vote vote for someone
who looks like them then who acts like them

But really outside of support for Israel / Jews what’s
the dif between the aging Engel and the
self centered Bowman, legislatively?

judging by this dude’s promotional material
he’s a bit of a narcissist besides (has a silhouette
of his pensive thoughtful self in the “A”)

However, this claim shows how much opportunity there is in America to be successful.
