🧵Bowman’s Unmasking🧵

“Justice Democrat” Jamaal Bowman will be ripping off his Democratic Party mask and revealing his opposition to the party by rebutting Biden’s speech to Congress on behalf of another political party called the Working Families Party.

Let’s dig into Bowman.
Bowman ran for Congress in 2020 as a Democrat, but he is not a Democrat. If he were a Democrat, he would not be rebutting Democrat Joe Biden on behalf of another political party.

We also know Bowman is not a Democrat because Eliot Engel told us the truth about Bowman 👇
Eliot Engel is the Democrat who Bowman targeted in the 2020 primaries. Engel is a very progressive Democrat. He even supported the Green New Deal and single payer healthcare.

So if Engel supported “progressive” policies, why did the “Justice Democrats” primary him with Bowman?
“Justice Democrats” likely targeted Engel because Engel proposed sanctions on Yevgeny Prigozhin (aka “Putin’s chef”), architect of the GRU’s Internet Research Agency.

Justice Democrats was founded by operatives from Bernie’s 2016 campaign, which Prigozhin’s IRA supported.
During the primaries, when Engel was picked up on a hot mic saying he needed speaking time because he was being primaried, Justice Dems twisted his words and claimed he said he only cared about his district because he was being primaried.
The disingenuous attacks by Justice Democrats helped doom Engel.

Getting back to Bowman though, before running for Congress, Bowman was a school principal who claimed that standardized testing was tantamount to slavery and taught his students that American democracy is corrupt:
Just to be clear, Bowman retweeted this tweet from the WFP. Bowman is gleefully delivering “the official Working Families Party response to President Biden’s Joint Address to Congress.”

Jamaal Bowman IS NOT A DEMOCRAT!
