Ousted Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) weighed in on the tough primary opponent — George Latimer — facing Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) and suggested the writing was already on the wall.
Referencing Bowman’s now-infamous fire alarm stunt — which he claimed was simply a failure on his part to differentiate between an exit door and a fire alarm — Cuomo said that the Squad-aligned progressive was going to get “smoked” in his Tuesday primary.
“Jamaal Bowman should pull the fire alarm again because he is going to be smoked by @LatimerforNY today. The message is clear: anti-semitism in any and all forms will not be tolerated in New York. And you can’t call yourself a progressive without making progress. Vote!”

Cuomo’s comment about anti-Semitism was a reference to Bowman’s alignment with the far-Left progressive “Squad” and their insistence on siding with anti-Israel protesters in the wake of the October 7 Hamas terror attacks on Israel. Bowman has repeatedly called for an immediate ceasefire in the war between Israel and Hamas.

The New York congressman’s relationship with the Jewish community in his own district has been fraught as well. According to a recent report, Bowman allegedly texted a Jewish leader in his district and asked for a photo of them together, explaining that he wanted to “show the world I’m friends with Jewish people.”
The Jewish leader, reportedly made uncomfortable by the request, opted not to send the photo: “I was uncomfortable. I kind of joked around with him about it. I said, ‘Oh, I’m sure you guys have it. Don’t worry about it.’ I was like, ‘I don’t want to be his court Jew.’ That wasn’t what I signed up for.”
