<p>After losing his primary race, Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jamaal-bowman" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jamaal Bowman</a> (D-NY) used his concession speech on Tuesday night to tout his support from Muslims in San Francisco and Dearborn, Michigan.</p>
<p>Just weeks ago, Bowman accused his Democratic rival, George Latimer, of race-baiting for suggesting the lawmaker&#8217;s &#8220;constituency&#8221; was from those areas that have large Arab-American communities.</p>
<p>&#8220;You don’t understand what the Muslim community specifically did in this race. The Muslim community from Yonkers to San Francisco to Dearborn, Michigan,&#8221; Bowman <a href="https://x.com/jacobkornbluh/status/1805802666343244212?s=46&amp;t=o-U3qwC25WnWaylJ0oeG7Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">And ⬇️</p>
<p>During primary, Bowman accused Latimer of Islamophobia for saying his constituents are from Dearborn, MI. </p>
<p>Tonight, Bowman: “You don’t understand what the Muslim community specifically did in this race. The Muslim community from Yonkers to San Francisco to Dearborn, MI.” <a href="https://t.co/p5FBOPUnKE">pic.twitter.com/p5FBOPUnKE</a></p>

<p>During a debate earlier this month, Latimer <a href="https://x.com/metzgov/status/1800336747404157042" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cast</a> Bowman as someone who did not prioritize the interests of his district in the Bronx and Westchester County with a diverse population.</p>
<p>“When you get as much money as you get from outside the district, your constituency is Dearborn, Michigan. Your constituency is San Francisco, California,&#8221; Latimer said.</p>
<p>Bowman, a member of the leftist &#8220;Squad&#8221; who has been a vocal critic of Israel&#8217;s war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip, <a href="https://x.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1800504707435417754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> the comment an &#8220;Islamophobic dogwhistle&#8221; in a post to social media.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">This Islamophobic dogwhistle shows the difference between my opponent and me.</p>
<p>I love our Muslim and Arab neighbors in NY16 just like I love our Jewish, white and Black neighbors here and across the country.</p>
<p>I’m fighting for all of us. <a href="https://t.co/JUPpE6GzIL">https://t.co/JUPpE6GzIL</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Rep. Jamaal Bowman Ed.D. (@JamaalBowmanNY) <a href="https://twitter.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1800504707435417754?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 11, 2024</a></p></blockquote>
<p>&#8220;I love our Muslim and Arab neighbors in NY16 just like I love our Jewish, white and Black neighbors here and across the country,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I’m fighting for all of us.&#8221;</p>
<p>CNN host Abby Phillip asked Latimer to address his remark during a <a href="https://www.mediaite.com/tv/abby-phillip-grills-george-latimer-over-islamophobic-remarks-following-victory-over-jamaal-bowman/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> interview after his campaign, <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/06/26/democrats-aipac-jamaal-bowman-george-latimer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">backed by pro-Israel groups,</a> was projected to win in New York&#8217;s 16th Congressional District.</p>
<p>&#8220;It’s not a dogwhistle of anything. He had a major fundraiser in California. He raised more money in California in the last report than he made from New York,&#8221; Latimer said.</p>
<p>He also noted that Bowman and fellow Israel critic Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), whose district includes Dearborn, <a href="https://forward.com/news/584118/jamaal-bowman-rashida-tlaib-israel-hamas/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">formed</a> a joint fundraising committee earlier this year.</p>

<p>&#8220;It’s a geographic reference, not a demographic reference,&#8221; Latimer said.</p>
<p>Latimer added later that &#8220;it is clear that he raised money more in proportion outside the district from a nationwide network of donors that included people from those locations and others.&#8221;</p>
<p>Bowman&#8217;s decision to give props to the Muslim communities in places such as San Francisco and Dearborn during his concession speech also drew some backlash on social media.</p>
<p>&#8220;He hates that Jews in his own district live in tight-knit communities but Muslim communities in other parts of the country are praiseworthy,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/philipaklein/status/1805933901984022574" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> National Review Online Editor Phillip Klein.</p>
