Democratic Congressman Jamaal Bowman recently argued that a mural of Minister Louis Farrakhan should remain in a New York City suburb, prompting outrage from Jewish activists.
The "Squad" Democrat from New York recently sparked controversy over comments he made regarding a Black Lives Matter mural that featured Black figures, including Farrakhan, who has infamously made disparaging comments about Jews, including calling them the "the synagogue of Satan" and "termites.
"Regarding the minister, you know, he said many things that I fully disagree with, you know, period," Bowman said during an interview last year according to a New York Daily News report about the mural in Westchester County. "But he is a part of Black history, you know? That’s a fact.

I think Bowman is an idiot, you know. He is the clown that pulled the fire, alarm, you know. His selection of words, when speaking is not very good and it makes him sound less intelligent, you know. It is especially irritating that he uses the words, ‘you know” way too often, you know.
Nathanial Bedford Forrest is part of black history too. Should we put up a mural of him?
I wonder how many Jews voted for her?
What a lot of people don’t know is that in his later years Nathan Bedford Forrest became a Christian and an advocate of what we would now call racial reconciliation.
