Embattled Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) reportedly once asked a local Jewish leader for a photo of the two of them together so that he could “show the world I’m friends with Jewish people” ahead of a tough primary election in 2022.
Jewish Insider’s Matthew Kassel reported the story on Tuesday, teasing it with the following post on X: “New: In late spring 2022, Rep. Jamaal Bowman reached out a local Jewish leader with an unusual request as he faced mounting scrutiny over his record on Israel. ‘Do you have pics of us?’ he texted. ‘So I can show the world I’m friends with Jewish People.’”
