Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) is in a brutal primary fight, and a fellow New York Democrat looks like he is on the cusp of endorsing the “Squad” member’s opponent.
Rep. Ritchie Torres , a fiercely pro-member of Congress, got into a spat with Bowman over the weekend after the Israel critic questioned the sincerity of Torres’s support for the Jewish state. Torres was quick to hit back at Bowman, poking fun at the lawmaker’s stunt of pulling a fire alarm in the Capitol while on his way to a vote that would prevent a government shutdown last September.
“Ritchie is very calculating in this way. … Ritchie — he just seems to be always plotting, always calculating something,” Bowman said. But in the middle of the episode, Hill asked Bowman to comment on why Torres falls in line with Bowman on every matter except for when it comes to Israel. Bowman’s criticisms of Israel as it wages war with Hamas have put him in a vulnerable position with the large contingent of Jewish supporters in his district.
