Democratic Majority for Israel PAC is running a new digital ad painting Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) as a politician who attacks his own voters and lies to them too.
DMFI is a pro-Israel Democratic outside group that has endorsed Bowman’s primary challenger, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, in the June 25 contest.
The ad seizes on comments Bowman made to the New York Times this month when he explained why he signed on to a ceasefire resolution shortly after Israel started its invasion of Gaza.
Here’s what Bowman told the Times, which the ad characterizes as attacking the voters of the 16th District:
“What I saw was immediately everyone recognized the humanity of the people of Israel, and the Jewish people, and completely dehumanized the Palestinians. From the president, to the governor, to the mayor here, to everyone in my district.”
The ad also says Bowman covered up his ties to the far-left Democratic Socialists of America group.
We’ve closely covered the Bowman-Latimer primary and will have more to come on the race.
