BLM Tweets Message So Vile Even Dem Who Can't Tell What a Fire Alarm Is Knows It's Awful
Independent Journal Review ^ | October 11, 2023 | Bradley Cortright

As the saying goes, a stopped clock is right twice a day.

And in this case, Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) is the stopped clock.

You may recall that name from the beginning of the month when the Democratic congressman pulled a fire alarm in a Capitol office building — then claimed he thought it would open a door.

But on Tuesday, he was exactly right when he called out the Chicago chapter of Black Lives Matter (BLM) for a since-deleted tweet.

The account tweeted a graphic with the words, “That is all that is it!” and “I STAND WITH PALESTINE.”

It included a depiction of someone with what appeared to be a paragliding sail and a Palestinian flag.

The tweet was utterly abhorrent in its imagery after Hamas terrorists paraglided into a music festival in Israel and killed hundreds of civilians.

It is not really clear what other message they thought they were sending than supporting a massacre.

The post was so atrocious that Bowman couldn’t ignore it, writing on X, “Disgusting. This promotes an act in which innocent civilians were killed. Babies. We need to stand for human life and collective humanity.”

“This does the opposite,” he added.

The BLM group has since deleted the post and replaced it with a message that states, “Yesterday we sent out msgs that we aren’t proud of. We stand with Palestine [and] the people who will do what they must to live free.”

“Our hearts are with, the grieving mothers, those rescuing babies from rubble, who are in danger of being wiped out completely,” it added.

That post is not much better as it’s not clear how murdering hundreds of civilians and then running back to the Gaza Strip does anything to advance Palestinians’ ability to live freely.

But at least there are some progressive Democrats who are able to condemn such messages.

Bowman like the rest of the commie left despise Israel, but the left also knows that without American Jewish support they will NEVER win another election again, it will be their political suicide so they have to pretend like they like Jews when in reality they despise them as much as Hamas does

The “updated” message is just as abhorrent.

Can you explain why they care about Palestinians, but don’t care about the larger number of Uyghurs, that are enduring much worse?

He was probably warned about making the squad look stupid (I’m aware that’s redundant) with that fire alarm debacle. I doubt he expressed he’s true feelings in his reponse to the tweet.

Because they’re commies. Commies don’t badmouth the atrocities of other commies.

“Yesterday we sent out a message we are not proud of, so here’s the exact same message again, only not in all-caps.”

I can understand why BLM might be confused…..Democrats have never thought killing babies was wrong.

BLM and Hamas must share a genetic defect that makes them inhumane and ignorant.

It’s not in the genes, it’s in the ideology.

The “squad don’t need any help looking stupid. They’re doing just fine all by themselves.
