Representative Jamaal Bowman has done what some viewed as an extraordinary thing when he released a statement to his constituents. In the statement, Bowman pointedly mentioned Nazi Republicans in context of what his office was asking of the public.
In the statement, Bowman asked constituents to help spread the word about a new Jobs and Prosperity Fund that he had recently proposed, along with some of his Democratic colleagues. He reiterated that this new fund is designed to invest in long-term economic and employment opportunities for those who are most affected by the COVID-19 crisis.
In stark contrast to what other politicians have said on the matter, Bowman pointed out that there are those in government who are fighting against relief for working families. His message made it clear that the obstruction and delay tactics employed by some were much like tactics employed by the Nazis during the Second World War. This is an unusual move by a sitting Congressman, and it clearly shows how active and opinionated Bowman is on the issue of working families’ needs during this pandemic.
The message Rep. Bowman sent to his constituents was powerful. Bowman demonstrated his willingness to go beyond typical talking points and instead make a direct comparison between his political adversaries and one of the most despised regimes in recent history. Such a startling comparison is yet another example of Bowman’s willingness to stand up for the needs of working families during these trying times.
