Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is calling on voters to reject anti-Israel Rep. Jamaal Bowman in Tuesday’s primary, citing his stance on Israel and a past incident where he pulled a fire alarm in Congress.
“Jamaal Bowman should pull the fire alarm again because he is going to be smoked by @LatimerforNY today,” Cuomo wrote on X. “The message is clear: anti-semitism in any and all forms will not be tolerated in New York. And you can’t call yourself a progressive without making progress. Vote!”
Bowman, a member of the progressive “Squad” in the House, is facing a tough primary challenge from Westchester County Executive George Latimer, 70, who is expected to win by a significant margin. The race has become the most expensive House race in history, with over $25 million spent, largely due to the $15 million contributed by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC, United Democracy Project.
Bowman’s troubles began when he pulled a fire alarm during a government funding vote in 2023, causing Congress to be evacuated. Although he was censured, no House Ethics investigation ensued. He claimed he thought the fire alarm was a lever to open the door he was trying to get through.
High-profile figures like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senator Bernie Sanders have rallied behind Bowman, but their efforts have failed to move the polls in his favor.

Does Andrew Cuomo thin that by coming out now as a “Champion of Israel” we Jews are going to forget what he did to the Jews during Covid?
This is not the first time that the white racist male, Cuomo, prevented a black from remaining in office. He threatened David Paterson to drop out of the governorship so he could be named king. He also said very hurtful racist things against Carl McCall. Now he’s kicking out another black. What’s Andrew’s problem with blacks? Is this what the democrat party has come to?
Cuomo is a self-obsessed narcissist, racist and misogynist. However, in this case, he is correct. Bowman doesn’t belong in Congress no matter what your politics. He makes AOC look like a moderate.

Sorry, but a black that has turned against Jews and Israel. Shame that the black movement is boycotting Israel – recall seeing Rabbi Heshel next to MLK? Helped alot, did it?
Bowman is an uncivilized dog, and a foul mouthed lowlife.
