Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D., N.Y.) apologized this week months after dismissing reports that Hamas raped Israeli civilians on Oct. 7 as "propaganda" and "lies."
"I apologize for my comments," Bowman said during a radio show appearance, "and now we’re continuing to do the work to fight sexual violence and domestic violence in all its forms."
A month after Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks on Israeli civilians that left 1,200 people dead, Bowman said, "There’s still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women. But they still keep using that lie [for] propaganda," Politico reported.
After initially refusing to address the remarks, Bowman did walk back the propaganda accusations but refused to apologize. "The UN confirmed that Hamas committed rape and sexual violence, a reprehensible fact that I condemn entirely," Bowman said in March. "I also voted yes on Resolution 966, which officially condemns the rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas."
Bowman is fighting for his seat as he faces a formidable challenge in the Democratic primary from Westchester County executive George Latimer. A past ally of Bowman, former representative Mondaire Jones (D., N.Y.), endorsed the pro-Israel Latimer, saying he was "horrified" by Bowman's comments on the Israel-Hamas war.
Bowman has been fiercely critical of Israel since Hamas's Oct. 7 massacre. The Democrat voted "no" on a resolution to "condemn the support of Hamas, Hezbollah, and other terrorist organizations at institutions of higher education" because he claimed the Oct. 7 attacks were Israel’s fault.
“”I also voted yes on Resolution 966, which officially condemns the rape and sexual violence committed by Hamas.””
That’s mighty white of him!!!!
Expel him. It’s the best time to show we mean business and we’re not messing’ around. He will lose on Tuesday. Expel him on Wednesday. Kick him while he’s down. Democrats don’t mess around why should we?
Cap it off with “I don’t give a damn if you’re black”.
Would our people do it?

The Democrat Congressman from Hamas. Never let it be said Democrats aren’t open-minded.
Kick him out of Congress andYbe he can get a job as a fire inspector somewhere.
This guy isn’t smart enough to work in a car wash. How the heck did he get elected to public office?
Nevermind, some questions just answer themselves.
Only a very stupid person would do and say the things Bowman does.
Of course they're not going to act like democrats... Democrats are the most stupid and pernicious people on the planet. If the GOP started acting like democrats then I could never vote for them either.
The big fight is coming and it's not going to involve two different parties acting like brainless, abhorrent democrats.
Congress needs to send this boy home. He isn’t ready for prime time.
I wonder if he should be sued for 1/2 billion dollars.
*If the GOP started acting like democrats then I could never vote for them either.*
Think ‘read my lips’. I miss Lee Atwater. You should too.
*The big fight is coming and it’s not going to involve two different parties acting like brainless, abhorrent democrats.*
Just expel him.
Rep. Jamaal Bowman is a racist Jew-hating creep. He only changed his position because there is an election in the near future.
The polls say this piece of crap, bowman is going down in the primaries
