George Latimer, the Westchester County politician who has launched a primary challenge against incumbent Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., would like to talk about anything but a Facebook post he made in 2021 that compared the fallout over then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo's sexual harassment scandal to the 1955 lynching of Emmett Till, a Black teenager from Mississippi.
But on Wednesday, Latimer, already dogged by allegations of racist campaign tactics, was confronted about the post by a caller named Becky on the Brian Lehrer Show.
