Summary:
Former Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) called Elon Musk a “thief” and a “Nazi” during a fiery CNN segment Thursday night.
After Joe Borelli, the ex-Republican leader on the New York City Council, argued that much of the discontent at Republican congressmen’s town hall events were protests organized by Democrats, Bowman interrupted to insist that “that’s not true.”
“That’s not true. And this shows, again, the American people do not trust Elon Musk,” began Bowman. “And Elon Musk is incompetent in his position. And how do we know? Because they fired tens of thousands of people, it was challenged in court. The court said the people have to go back, and now the people are coming back. He’s incompetent, he’s a thief, he’s a Nazi, and people don’t trust him, period.”
One of my favorite things about Democrats is how progressive they pretend to be when they have little power to do anything, and then the one area where they had leverage they simply complied with Republican demands.
I agree with your sentiment but Bowman was a member of the squad and seriously progressive.
He lost his reelection because AIPAC (a lobbying group for the genocidal Israeli apartheid regime) spent more than 14.5 million dollars in his district during the campaign to unseat him, a record for the group.
Interesting info. Thank you.
Yeah.
