MARC THIESSEN: Can you imagine if a sitting congressman stood up at a rally and said, we're going to show the effing NAACP the power of this district? What the outrage would be, and this is the problem, is that the Democratic Party has not policed its movement and has allowed antisemitism to fester in the halls of Congress. It's Jamaal Bowman, it's the rest of the "Squad." You know, if somebody had done what he did and targeted Black people, they would have been kicked off of their committees, they would be shunned by the Democratic caucus. When Representative Steve King, back in 2019, said," I don't understand what's the problem with white supremacy and white and all the rest of it," he was kicked off of all of his committee by the Republicans in Congress. Why haven't the Democratic leadership in Congress done the same to Jamaal Bowman for this? Why haven't they done that with Ilhan Omar? Why haven't they done that with the rest of the "Squad"? They tolerate antisemitism in their ranks, and then they're surprised when an antisemitic mob surrounds a synagogue in Los Angeles and beats Jews. There's a connection between these two things. 

During a speech in the Bronx riddled with expletives, Bowman lashed out against the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee (AIPAC), the pro-Israel advocacy group supporting his Democratic primary challenger, Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
