Far-left Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) lost his primary race against moderate Westchester County executive George Latimer on Tuesday after the party pushed to oust him following his move to become a radical anti-Semite.
With just over half of the votes counted, the Associated Press called the race for Latimer, saying that he was up 55% to 45%.
Bowman, who was charged late last year with pulling a fire alarm in Congress, becomes the first member of “The Squad” — a group of far-left lawmakers that includes Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Rashida Tlaib (D-MI), Cori Bush (D-MO), and more — to be voted out of Congress.
Backlash against Bowman was so intense that the primary race became the most expensive House primary in U.S. history, with approximately $25 million spent in advertising, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Bowman denied many of the atrocities that took place during the October 7 massacre, falsely claiming that reports of mass rape and babies being beheaded was Israeli “propaganda.” He also refused to condemn Hamas’ terrorist attack because he disagreed with calling the attack “unprovoked.”
Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro explained on his show this week Bowman’s embrace of anti-Semitism, saying that he had become a “full scale anti-Semite.”

Jamaal Bowman and AOC are the emissaries of the Democratic Party future: elected dullards somehow considered visionaries because they spout intersectional Jew-hating bullshit and are racially diverse.
