Ritchie Torres, the first LGBT Afro-Latino to become a congressional representative, clashed with now former ally Jamaal Bowman after receiving criticism of his support for Israel, as more Democrats become at odds over its actions during the country's war with Hamas.
The feud was catalyzed by a statement from Bowman, also a New York Representative, in a podcast interview on Saturday. He described Torres' pro-Israel stance as "very calculated" and aimed at gaining "political power for himself toward an ultimate objective."
