AIPAC Bullies Brag About Jamaal Bowman's Primary Loss

"Progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suffered a primary defeat Tuesday to a moderate challenger who was backed by pro-Israel groups, NBC News projected, following a bitter and expensive race that exposed the party’s divisions over the war in Gaza.

The race between Bowman and Westchester County Executive George Latimer in New York’s 16th District drew more ad spending — $25 million, according to the ad tracking firm AdImpact — than any other House primary in history. Nearly $15 million of that spending came from the United Democracy Project, a super PAC linked to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, a powerful pro-Israel lobby, which backed Latimer."*

The largest online progressive news show in the world. Hosted by Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian. LIVE weekdays 6-8 pm ET.

The Young Turks are fearless in talking about the issues that matter. We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We cover politics, entertainment, sports, and pop culture; all through a progressive lens.

What does it mean to be a “Young Turk?”

According to the American Heritage Dictionary;
1. Young progressive or insurgent member of an institution, movement, or political party.
2. Young person who rebels against authority or societal expectations.

"Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, JUSTICE IS COMING will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

The media can’t stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In JUSTICE IS COMING: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love It (On sale: September 19, 2023), The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

JUSTICE IS COMING, a compulsively readable manifesto, seeks to apply the momentum progressives have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. JUSTICE IS COMING looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win."

I don't get too attached or married to political parties but as I have said those who laugh now will cry in a few. You see when elections can be bought and paid for democracy dies. If money is not taken out of politics the majority of the population those who can't buy politician will end up in a sorry place.

[damham]

Im not a big fan of Bowman, but seeing how a lobbyist group can push candidates solely to support another countries interest like AiPac does is just infuriating.

[evanb]

Bowman was down 17 points before AIPAC started running ads. I bet they wanted to make it look like they took him out to send a message.

[MartiThe]

At least we are standing on the right side of this horrific genocide!!!!

[hamobu]

Bowman should run in general election if at least to make AIPAC spend another 25 million

[Aireck]

Remember when Hillary outspent Trump by 300 million and lost? Money can help but its not everything. If Bowman did not suck, he would have overcome the fund issue.

[rashidaquil]

Bowman talked about real issue of america ... first politician doing so

[Kawastyselir]

It should be obvious to anyone with eyes that Latimer just cannot see straight on these issues.

' AIPAC 101 - What Every American Should Know . '

[sureshots]

Change feels like a hopeless fantasy when you realize this has been going on for almost 50yrs. I blame boomers. Completely.

[greatergodage]

Rep. Jamaal Bowman should run as an independent for the simple reason to spite AIPAC. Period.

Germany is reported to include the existence of the Israeli state as part of citizenship eligibility.
When is US plan to incorporate AIPAC, as part of its allegiance requirement, for US citizenship?

[_valles]

The fire alarm sure impacted me a lot. Sorry but if you’re going to lie straight up like that, you gotta go. Had he said he did it to buy time to read the bill they were going to vote I would have a little more respect. So much for being confused he went straight for the alarm, pulled it and threw away the signs.

[TazCStorm]

This type of corruption is absolutely pitiful

[lynettejenkins]

No justice in the world. No justice in america

[Sam-trmg]

Money talks. They love money and use it to buy politicians

[anniez]

I hate that Israel picked Latimer to challenge Bowman; Ihate that AIPAC dumped so much money against Bowman; and I am not liking Latimer's crazy eyes.

[arikbolrli]

This is the best person "The Young Turks" can have on their videos? She can't even read one sentence without mispronouncing words.

[melroseriser]

He shoulda never pulled that fire alarm!😄

[stevester]

Why are his eyes looking in different directions??
