Televised New York Democratic Primary Debate Takes a Wild Turn
A New York Democratic primary debate Monday between incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and Westchester County Executive George Latimer grew heated at various points as the two debated the Israel-Hamas war and other topics.
The debate became so tense at one point that, as the moderator attempted to rein it in, Bowman inferred that Latimer was likening him to an “angry Black man.”
Bowman, a steadfast supporter of Palestine, initially clashed with Latimer over the Israel-Hamas war and its effect on U.S. politics.
