I forgot all about that hump. When I hear "Bowman," my first thought is always Rob Bowman -- this one, not the X-Files guy.Geislerminian Antinomian Kenotic Charispneumaticostal Gender Mutualist-Egalitarian.
Beige Federalist.
Nationalist Christian.
"Everybody is somebody's heretic."
Social Justice is usually the opposite of actual justice.
Proud member of the this space left blank community.
Would-be Grand Vizier of the Padishah Maxi-Super-Ultra-Hyper-Mega-MAGA King Trumpius Rex.
Justice for Ashli Babbitt!
Justice for Matthew Perna!
Arrest Ray Epps and his Fed bosses!

Seeing how most liberals defended him even after the video was released putting the lie to his defense, I think it was his antisemitism that delivered the kill shot.
Mr. Bowman alienated others with his far-left views and a string of embarrassing gaffes he struggled to explain, most notably the decision to pull a false fire alarm in a House office building last fall.
Likewise, as NBC noted:
Last fall, Bowman pleaded guilty to falsely pulling a fire alarm in a House building in the middle of a vote on a GOP bill to avert a government shutdown. Bowman claimed it was an accident, but Republicans accused him of trying to interrupt official business of the House, and voters repeatedly quizzed him about the fire alarm incident on the campaign trail.
USA Today suggests it was an issue:
Throughout the primary race, Latimer and other Bowman critics also slammed the progressive Democrat for a series of controversial comments and incidents, including a moment on Capitol Hill last year when he pulled a fire alarm in a House office building, prompting an emergency evacuation.
While Vox suggested it as well
And as a candidate, there were other reasons Bowman was more vulnerable besides the foreign policy positions he chose to take. Bowman came into the race fielding critiques for his decisions to pull a fire alarm in Congress and to promote conspiracy theories about September 11 in a past blog, something he’s said he regrets.
It appears there were numerous minor factors that also came into play along with his comments after October 7th and positions on Israel and HAMAS. Interestingly, Business Insider points out that
AIPAC's offensive translated into TV ads attacking Bowman and praising Latimer, as well as a deluge of mailers at residents' doors. Those ads mostly focused on Bowman's vote against the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021, rather than his criticism of Israel.

As is his style he not only refused to congratulate the winner, he decided to grouse about needing to be "outraged" when "some so-called Democrats are aligning themselves with radical, racist, right-wing Republicans."
