'Squad' member Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., was filmed screaming and swearing over the American Israel Public Affairs Committee Political Action Committee (AIPAC), who is backing his primary challenger George Latimer.

'We are going to show f---ing AIPAC, the power of the motherf---ing South Bronx!' Bowman yelled Saturday at a rally with fellow progressive 'Squad' member Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and democratic socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

'People ask me why I got a foul mouth. What am I supposed to do? You're coming after me! You're coming after my family! You're coming after my children,' Bowman proclaimed. 'I'm not supposed to fight back?'

'We’re going to show them who the f–k we are!' Bowman added while jumping and waving his arms on stage.

Reacting to a clip of the f-bomb filled speech posted on X, Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., shamed the progressive: 'The level of profanity here is so shocking as to be unbecoming of a Member of Congress.' 

'There is nothing in Jamaal Bowman's unhinged tirade that remotely resembles the decency of the people I know and represent in the South Bronx,' Torres continued.

Bowman has been very vocal about his distaste for Israel during their war with Hamas.

He has pushed for an immediate ceasefire in the war, alleged that Israel is guilty of genocide and war crimes and has demanded Joe Biden's White House stop sending all funds to the Jewish nation, not just those for its war. 

AIPAC has poured nearly $15 million into the campaign of Westchester County Executive George Latimer, Bowman's opponent. 

While Latimer (pictured) has defended Israel as the war provoked by Hamas's terrorism rages on, Bowman, 48, was quick to call Israel an 'apartheid state' in the weeks following the attack

So much money has poured in that the Democrat primary is now thought to be the most expensive in history. 

Bowman said 'We’re fighting back against AIPAC.'

AIPAC said: 'Rep. Bowman’s scurrilous and shameful attacks won’t hide his record of aligning with the extremist, anti-Israel fringe.'

'In contrast to his opponent, George Latimer is pro-Israel and stands with the Jewish state as it battles Iranian terrorist proxies.'

Shortly after the outbreak of the conflict on October 7, 2023, Bowman called Israel's claims that Hamas slaughtered babies and raped women 'propaganda.' 

'There was propaganda used at the beginning of the siege,' he can be heard claiming loudly as cars passed noisily behind him on a busy road. The video was reportedly shot over a month after the initial attack on November 17.  

'There's still no evidence of beheaded babies or raped women,' he continues, receiving affirmation from the crowd. 'But they've still been using that lie...propaganda.'

Rep. Jamaal Bowman called reports of Hamas' raping of Israeli women and beheading of Israeli babies 'propaganda' in a recently surfaced video that was shot weeks after the war started

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., denied the Great Replacement Theory, which administration officials caught on video have admitted is their policy.
