John,

When Westchester County Executive and Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s moderate
primary opponent George Latimer was asked about taking $600,000 from
anti-Palestinian lobby group AIPAC at a Black History Month event last
Saturday, he lashed out and made racist, Islamophobic comments attacking
Jamaal.

devil.” Mr. Latimer responded, “Bowman is taking money from the devil too,
he’s taking money from Hamas.”

This isn’t just an obscene, ugly lie — it’s the kind of dangerous rhetoric
that stokes anti-Muslim hate crimes and could put Jamaal’s safety at risk.

Black Westchester reports, “When asked for proof to back up his statement,
Latimer pulled out his phone to show her an article he couldn’t find, took
her email, and promised to email the female voter the proof. When she
asked that he didn’t forget to send the email, he replied to her, “You
probably won’t read it or believe it anyway,” as he walked away.”

It’s shameful that Latimer resorted to spreading disinformation about his
opponent when confronted about the fact that 40% of his campaign’s
fundraising is from the GOP-funded, corporate-backed lobby group who
hand-selected him to run against Jamaal in an attempt to stifle our
progressive movement.

re-elect him to the U.S. House by splitting a grassroots contribution to
his campaign and Justice Democrats now?

In June, voters in New York’s 16th district will choose between an AIPAC
shill or a progressive incumbent standing on the right side of history.
Let’s do everything in our power now to defend Jamaal’s seat and keep a
real leader for the people in Congress.

In solidarity,

Alexandra Rojas
Executive Director
