once reportedly asked a Jewish leader for a picture of the two of them together to prove that “I’m friends with Jewish people” — prompting outrage from rabbis Tuesday in his Westchester County district.

“Do you have pics of us?” So I can show the world I’m friends with Jewish People,” Bowman wrote to an unidentified Jewish leader whose support he was seeking, according to the report published Tuesday. Bowman — who is part of the left-wing “Squad” of House members that includes fellow New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — was nowhere to be found when two Jewish-run businesses in Scarsdale were spray-painted with “Genocide supporter,” Morgenstern said.

“Congressman Bowman has consistently been tone-deaf and antagonistic to his Jewish constituents, and his antagonism has spanned the spectrum of the Jewish denominational landscape,” he told a Bowman staffer. “Bowman totally lost my support before October 7,” Weiner said, referring to the Hamas invasion of Israel last fall, triggering the raging war in Gaza.“He doesn’t seem to care about Jews in the district — talking to them or working with them,” Weiner said.
