OPINION:
Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat from New York seeking reelection to his congressional seat, told his Bronx-based constituents in a recent campaign rally, “We are going to show f——— AIPAC the power of the motherf——— South Bronx.”
The crowd cheered. Of course the crowd cheered. He was speaking their language. This is what the Democrats have become: foul-mouthed infantile loons.
“We are in the South Bronx,” Bowman shouted from his stage. “This is the birthplace of hip-hop. I am the hip-hop congressman.”
He waved a wooden bench in the air for emphasis. Then he waved it again as he led the crowd in cheers of “South Bronx, say South Bronx.”
Then he got real.
“We are going to show f——— AIPAC,” he said, of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, “the power of the motherf——— South Bronx. People ask me why I got a foul mouth. What am I supposed to do? You coming after me. You coming after my family. You coming after my children. I’m not supposed to fight back? I’m not supposed to fight back? We gonna show them who the f—- we are.”
Then he flapped and bounced to fuel the applause further.
“We gonna show them who the f—- we are,” he said again, before sparking a chant of his name: “Bowman. Bowman.”
What does that even mean?
Nobody really knows. But for Democrats, it’s all about the show — and the loonier the better.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett just had her ghetto moment in the sun when she passive-aggressively poked at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s physical appearance on the House floor. That was after perennially ghetto Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez shot off some street talk of her own at Greene, taunting the Georgia congresswoman with a snarky, “Oh girl, oh baby girl, don’t even play.”
Then there’s the widely watched video of Rep. Rashida Tlaib screaming profanity about impeaching Trump about that “f———” Trump, about her plans to “go in there” to Congress and “impeach the motherf——-” Trump.
Remember when Tennessee Democrats Justin Jones and Justin Pearson used their state seats to launch activist-like uprisings on the floors of the House chamber and were subsequently expelled — then, after Democrat-fueled furor, reinstated?
Remember when Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to Nashville to support their rants — to show solidarity for the rule-breaking activists and in so doing, embolden more bad behavior from similarly low-IQ leftists in politics?
Remember Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s summers of resistance? Remember Sen. Charles E. Schumer’s unleashing of whirlwinds? Remember Rep. John Lewis and the 170 or so of his fellow Democrat lawmakers who staged a sit-in on the House floor to demand gun controls? Remember Rep. Maxine Waters and her endless calls for Democrats to track MAGA types and storm them with protests at restaurants, in the streets, at their places of work, at their homes?
Antifa?
Black Lives Matter?
Democrats sitting silently by as leftist loons take over city streets and establish CHAZ areas that are off-limits to police?
Bowman is not an anomaly.
He’s just the latest of the Democrat Party’s bottom-feeders who win their political seats with emotionally charged rants absent logic — devoid of sanity. Want to hear from the real anomaly?
Rep. Ritchie Torres, New York Democrat, called out Bowman’s profanity as an “unhinged tirade” and said it was “unbecoming as a member of Congress.” And that’s true. It was unhinged. It is unbecoming of political service.
But not to most Democrats.
Far too many Democrats these days forget politics is public service, not war, and that logic, persuasion and principle ought to guide. Moronically, maniacally tossed f-bombs from a dancing self-proclaimed “hip hop congressman” do not a suitable servant-leader make.
