Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s star continues to dim.
There was more bad news on the way.
And Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez suffered this humiliating defeat.
AOC ally crushed in a primary
Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) became the first member of the “Squad” to lose a primary.
Westchester County Executive George Latimer led Bowman by 17 points in the most expensive Congressional primary in history.
Bowman’s history of anti-American conspiracy theories, anti-Semitic rhetoric, and criminal activity did him in.
From the start, Bowman was on defense.
Bowman issued an apology for past posts on his blog falsely claiming the 9/11 terrorist attacks were an inside job.
“Well over a decade ago, as I was debating diving into a doctoral degree, I explored a wide range of books, films, and articles across a wide swath of the political spectrum and processed my thoughts in a personal blog that few people ever read,” Bowman’s apology read.
On Bowman’s Relentless-Strongback.Blogspot page, he wrote poems about how controlled demolitions – and not Islamic terrorists flying planes into buildings – brought down the Twin Towers on 9/11.
“2001/Planes used as missiles/Target: The Twin Towers,” a stanza from one of Bowman’s poems read,. “Later in the day/Building 7/Also Collaspsed [sic]/Hmm…/Multiple explosions/Heard before/And during the collapse/Hmm…”
Bowman also claimed there was “minimal damage” inflicted and “minimal debris” created from an attack where Islamic terrorists flew a plane into the Pentagon.
Bowman was also one of the most resolutely pro-Hamas members of the Democrat Party.
At a November 17 rally, Bowman falsely claimed it was “propaganda” to report on the rampant acts of sexual assault and violence committed by Hamas jihadists against Israeli women in the October 7 terrorist attack.
“There was propaganda used in the beginning of the siege,” ranted to the crowd at the event.
“There’s still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women. But they still keep using that lie [for] propaganda,” Bowman added.
Bowman also pled guilty to a misdemeanor count for falsely triggering a fire alarm at the Capitol.
Video footage showed Bowman pulling a fire alarm in the hopes of delaying a Congressional vote on a government spending bill.
A massive defeat for AOC
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared in WWE-style hype videos for Bowman at his events and campaigned with him every step of the way.

This election was a repudiation of the “Squad’s” far-left politics and embrace of Hamas as the victims in Palestine.
But even at the end, Ocasio-Cortez left Bowman for dead by saying she wouldn’t appear with him in person at his final campaign event and then bailed on his election night watch party.
And now attention turns to an August 1 primary where Black Lives Matter organizer and Congresswoman Cori Bush (D-MO) – who is also a member of the “Squad” – faces a primary where the polls show Bush trails her opponent to see if Ocasio-Cortez and her allies will suffer further defeat.
