"Squad" dork attended fundraiser hosted by Islamist who praised Oct. 7 attack

Rep[ulsive] Jamaal Bowman, (D-NY) who pulled a fire alarm in order to interfere with congressional business, is also a member of the so called "squad," a group of far-left anti-Semitic dolts who had no problem with Hamas brutally slaughtering, torturing, raping and kidnapping Israelis on October 7. Bowman, however, took his anti-Semitism even further when he attended a fundraiser co-hosted by Nihad Awad, the devoted Jew-hating, America-hating, national executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). This scumbag said he was "happy to see" the attack that killed 1,200 innocent Israelis.

Awad [aka Dickwad] claimed last year that Israel "does not have a right to self-defense."

"The people of Gaza only decided to break the siege – the walls of the concentration camp – on Oct. 7," Awad said during the 16th annual Convention for Palestine on Nov. 24 near Chicago. "And yes, I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land that they were not free to walk in."

He continued, "And yes, the people of Gaza have the right to self-defense, have the right to defend themselves. And yes, Israel as an occupying power does not have that right to self-defense."

So killing women, children and babies is 'self-defense'? What bull-crap. 

Even members of his own Party think Bowman, who represents New York's 16th Congressional District, went over the top by attending the May 1 fundraiser in Fairfax, VA. Her obviously wasn't taken aback by Awad's presence. The Biden administration had to moonwalk in reverse to distance themselves from CAIR after Awad spouted his twisted comments, now stating they are removing CAIR from its publicly listed pledge to fight anti-Semitism. 

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates told Fox News Digital in a statement, "We condemn these shocking, Antisemitic statements in the strongest terms."

"The horrific, brutal terrorist attacks committed by Hamas on October 7th were, as President Biden said, ‘abhorrent’ and represent ‘unadulterated evil,’" Mister Bates said.

"October 7th was the deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust," he continued. "The atrocities of that day shock the conscience, which is why we can never forget the pain Hamas has caused for so many innocent people."

"There are families who are in agony mourning loved ones, and there are also families in agony as they do everything in their power to free loved ones being held hostage," Bates said. "Every leader has a responsibility to call out Antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head."

Ahead of the fundraiser, [Dick]Awad praised Bowman on X as  "a staunch defender of Palestinian rights" [except for the rights of the Jewish people] and asked people to attend the fundraiser and pay them money for their journey to rid the world of Jews. 

Bowman answered the call.

This is your Democratic Party.

Bowman is facing what will likely be a tough primary battle on June 25, against George Latimer, who serves as a Westchester County executive and previously served in the New York State Assembly and state Senate.
