Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.) says he isnt bothered by former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons decision to endorse his Democratic primary challenger, Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
I definitely wouldnt call it a major endorsement, with all due respect, Bowman told CNN host Laura Coates in a Thursday night interview.
Bowman went on to list some notable endorsements he has received from colleagues in both chambers.
I mean, we are endorsed by sitting U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren [D-Mass.], sitting U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders [I-Vt.] and the Minority Leader of the Democratic Party, [Rep.] Hakeem Jeffries [D-N.Y.], he added.
Bowman and Latimers tense Democratic primary battle has divided Democratic lawmakers and aligned groups, particularly with regards to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which has left thousands dead in Gaza.

(26,255 posts)Accusing Hillary of corruption because "over the course of her career" she "received $4.1 million from AIPAC's network." CONSPIRACY!!!!
Latimer of "taking [scare word 'taking' to make the listener think of taking bribes, geed, corruption] millions of dollars from Donald Trump donors and opposing Biden's proposal to raise taxes on the wealthiest few." Just yesterday someone here described a Never Hillary voter saying Hillary wouldn't raise taxes on the wealthy. She campaigned on that, all Democrats do. It's a Democratic position. Such a shame anyone believes these lies, but luckily fewer and fewer do.

(147,392 posts)I have been following the Justice Democrats and its predecessor for a while including the "brand new congress group" and other groups created by Cenk, Kyle Kulinksi, Zack Exley, Saikat Chakrabarti, and their ilk. I am on the Justice Democrat email list and I have even listened once or twice to the Justice Democrat podcast which is amusingly called "Just Us" democrats. The Justice Democrats emails are fun to laugh at and I love the hatred this group shows to the Democratic Party, establishment Democrats and best of all corporate democrats.
The Justice Democrat group want to take over the Democratic party and remake into their image. Here is the founder of this group

I also do not want the Democratic Party to be taken over by the Justice Democrat group.
Again, the above posts are consistent with the hatred of the Democratic Party that I see on the almost daily emails that I get from the Justice Democrats. I admit that I enjoy the Just Us Democrat whines about AIPAC and Jews being mean.
