“I don’t mean any harm,” Bowman said in an interview. “I ain’t trying to hurt nobody. But we’ve got to take America to the next level, and we are not moving with urgency.” Jamaal Brown finds his voice. Some Republicans don't like the sound:
Marjorie Taylor GreeneNEW YORK — Many of his colleagues had already left for the night, but as Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., stepped out onto the Capitol steps Wednesday, he had business left to do: heckling Republicans.
Bowman’s platform includes far-reaching left-wing policies that split his party. Still, his style — “middle school principal energy,” he calls it — appears to have captured the id of even more moderate Democrats and has fueled party speculation about his ambition. She then said that the congressman’s “physical mannerisms are aggressive” and accused him of leading a “mob” targeting her when they both appeared outside a Manhattan courthouse where former President Donald Trump was being arraigned — an apparent reference to a crowd that consisted largely of members of the news media.The comments left Bowman outraged, if not quite surprised.
Barack Obama spent eight years as president restraining his emotions to project composure. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader whom Bowman counts as a friend, is known to have a sharp tongue, but his critiques of Republicans are almost always delivered in carefully worded paragraphs from behind a lectern.
He ran on a platform that included a wealth tax on the rich, national rent control, sweeping climate policies with a federal jobs guarantee, shifting money from police departments to social services, and a single-payer health care system. “I’m not a career politician. I’m not a millionaire. I’m not a businessman,” Bowman said. “I’m an educator, and I engage differently, I guess, than what the institution is used to.”
