Democrat Party representative Jamaal Bowman criticized his rival for House candicacy, namely George Latimer for getting funds from AIPAC, a Jewish NGO allegedly defending Israel rather than America. Bowman said AIPAC is trying to destroy American democracy.
Bowman is one of rare politicians refusing AIPAC’s donations. He has been under attack of AIPAC and other Jewish groups for that reason.
In a heated debate, Bowman blamed Latimer for receiving funding from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, which Bowman tied to the far-right.
“You’re the number-one recipient of AIPAC money in the country. AIPAC is funded by right-wing Republicans who want to destroy our democracy,” Bowman said in a heated words exchange.
“My opponent is in the pocket and bought and paid for by AIPAC,” Bowman said later, in his closing remarks.
