“This is about racism and intimidation. This makes no one safer,” wrote Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-N.Y.).

“There was inappropriate use of the term without my consent,” said Rep. Jamaal Bowman.

“My decision to sign on to this bill was not in a vacuum. It was made in consultation with many within the Jewish community within the district who also supported the bill,” he said.

“His constituents apparently concluded that he had lost touch with them, and that is, of course, wholly their decision to make,” said Democratic Majority for Israel president Mark Mellman.
