Heβs a deranged socialist goon! A freelance flack for Hamas! A fire-alarm insurrectionist!
And now it turns out β in the most unsurprising development imaginable β that Westchester Rep. Jamaal Bowman seems to be an avid consumer of schizoid YouTube conspiracy theories.
Is there anything the man canβt do?
The Daily Beast dug up Bowmanβs personal YouTube account (IDβd based on the accountβs use of Bowmanβs longtime screen name βInner Peaceβ and the fact that it features his image and videos from the school where he served as principal) and called the Squad member out for the loony stuff he subscribes to. Β
Like BreakThrough News, a laundry for Russian and Chinese propaganda and viciously antisemitic content (with connections to Maoist millionaire Neville Roy Singham).Β
Or Afripost, a staunch fan of Nation of Islam muckamuck Louis Farrakhan.Β
Hmmmmmm. Starting to detect a theme here?
Beyond the hateful, thereβs also just the bizarre.
Like Video Advice, which shares content like βThis CIA Document Literally Explains Time Travel (practical steps included).β
Donβt forget actual channels of disinfo like the Thinkers Forum, a seeming cutout for organs of Chinaβs government.
That account amplifies (for example) conspiracist nonsense assigning blame for the Islamic State concert-hall terror atrocity in Moscow to Ukraine and US intelligence services.Β
The Beastβs been on the case about Bowmanβs bonkers beliefs for a while, revealing that on his blog in the early aughts, he published a poem about 9/11 reading β2001/Planes used as missiles/Target: The Twin Towersβ¦Later in the day/Building 7/Also Collapsed [sic]/Hmmβ¦/Multiple explosions/Heard before/And during the collapse/Hmmβ¦β
Criticisms of his prosody aside, itβs abundantly clear what Bowman meant.
When that poem surfaced, he tried to pretend heβd somehow moved on (he was in his 30s when he wrote it).Β
Now that his YouTube shenanigans have come to light, heβs falling back on Demsβ fave tactic: telling obvious, clumsy lies.Β
βI donβt know what youβre talking about, I donβt know these accounts, and I havenβt watched any of these videos,β he claimed β despite his campaign not denying the page was his and the fact that he was creating playlists as recently as April.Β
Of course, he lied about why he pulled that fire alarm, too β and video proved it
Bowmanβs been given a pass by his fellow Dems and most of the media so far, so thereβs a sad, real chance this BS will fly.Β
But we suspect the voters heβs facing in his bruising primary will feel a bit differently.Β
