Ousted ‘Squad’ Member Bowman Gets More Bad News On Way Out of Congress

Democrat New York Rep. Jamaal Bowman got his butt handed to him in the Democrat primary by Westchester County Executive George Latimer and now he is begging for other people to assist him in paying his expenses.

It was one of the most expensive campaigns in the history of the House and Rep. Bowman, who ran cover for Hamas terrorists, is blaming the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, which did spend around $14.5 million to defeat him, for his woes.

“AIPAC spent more money against us than any other House primary – ever. I was public enemy number one and they spent almost twenty millions dollars to stop us,” the representative said to supporters in a fundraising email.

“But that puts us in a bit of a predicament right now. After tallying up the spends, we’re ‘in the red.’ It would be an incredible help to our team if you could help us retire our campaign debt by chipping in a few dollars now,” the email said.

The New York Post reported that his campaign spent “more than $1.3 million in TV ads buys and digital advertising in June, FEC records show.

“Bowman spent more than $5.3 million on the race while Latimer’s campaign dropped more than $5.6 million,” the report said.

“As of July, Bowman’s campaign reported more than $373,000 cash in the bank with debts of just over $141,000, according to his most recent Federal Election Commission filing,” it said.

But Rep. Bowman is not getting much sympathy, even from Democrats.

“I’m glad Bowman was defeated. I am sorry [his campaign is] broke. But it’s only his fault and the fault of his campaign,” Mark Mellman, who serves as the president of the nonprofit group Democratic Majority for Israel, said to The Post.

Insiders who spoke to The Post said that bills like consultant fees can catch a campaign by surprise.

“People often think that everything is paid before Election Day. It never happens that way,” one Democratic consultant said. “Often times consultants send invoices after the election.”
