Conservative AIPAC-backed candidate George Latimer is at it again (“it”
being racism, Islamophobia, and homophobia),
John.
On Monday during a debate in NY-16’s competitive Democratic primary race,
Latimer used more dog whistles to attack progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman:
[ [link removed] ]Retweet by AOC: Just so we’re clear, this is a stunningly racist and
homophobic thing to say. Tweet by Bryan Metzger: This was the point during
the LWV debate where George Latimer said to Jamaal Bowman: “Your
constituency is Dearborn, Michigan, your constituency is San Francisco,
California.”
AOC is right: These are bigoted comments from Latimer, who has directed
multiple racist, Islamophobic insults at Jamaal for his pro-peace,
pro-ceasefire stance throughout this race.

$5 to fund Justice Democrats’ work to help Jamaal fight
back and win?
We can’t say we’re surprised by Latimer’s offensive attacks. AIPAC — the
supposedly bipartisan anti-Palestinian lobby group that funded and picked
Latimer to challenge Jamaal — only spends against (mostly Black and brown)
incumbents in Democratic primaries.
Their super PAC has dropped more than $10 million against Jamaal so far,
making this the most expensive House primary in U.S. history. And with 13
days until the election, we know they’re not finished yet.
Like Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah said this week:
“It’s hard to overstate the importance of the Bowman vs. Latimer showdown
for progressives. The outcome represents much more than just the issue of
money in politics. It raises concerns about right-wing money being
funneled into Democratic primaries and tests the ability of AIPAC to
shield Israel from criticism. But bigger than that, it is a test of how
far America’s right wing will go to crush progressive movements. No one
should be surprised that a Black politician is the canary in the coal
mine.”
AIPAC’s network is using tens of millions of dollars from the same
anti-abortion, anti-ceasefire, pro-insurrection donors who support Donald
Trump to try and oust progressives like Jamaal. We can’t let them
succeed, John.

Jamaal and stop the far right from meddling in our Democratic primaries!
