During a heated debate, Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., suggested that the pro-Israel lobby is targeting him for being an outspoken Black man. The debate, which was Bowman's last televised faceoff against primary challenger George Latimer, has been part of one of the most expensive House primary races in U.S. history.
Bowman, a progressive Democrat, criticized the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) multiple times during the event, accusing it of being a right-wing organization. AIPAC is supporting Latimer, with its campaign arm investing millions in the race. Bowman mentioned that a significant portion of Latimer's funding comes from right-wing Republicans who support Trump.
