Outgoing 'Squad' member Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., voiced his anger over Jordan Neely's death in a social media post that began with 'Dear White People.'
Outgoing Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., posted a lengthy screed directed at 'White people' Tuesday in the wake of Daniel Penny's acquittal in the death of Jordan Neely. On May 1, 2023, Penny confronted Neely, a 30-year-old homeless man with schizophrenia who had an active arrest warrant at the time and a history of violence, as he was shouting death threats on the subway. With the assistance of other passengers, Penny restrained Neely with a chokehold, but Neely later died.
Social media users expressed shock that a congressman would address any kind of message only to White people. Independent journalist Brad Polumbo reacted, 'I can’t believe that this person, a member of congress, just suggested that he doesn’t know why he needs to continue to talk to an entire racial group. Tf?' Author Katherine Brodsky wrote, 'Any post that starts with ‘dear white people’ is indicative of a malignant narcissist and racist.
Jeremy Hunt, of the Hudson Institute and Veterans on Duty, said, 'Dear People of NY16, Thank you for voting this delusional, race-baiting, terrorist-sympathizing, fire alarm-pulling, congressman out of office.
