(CNSNews.com) – Two years after Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez defeated a 10-term incumbent in a New York House Democrat primary, a left-wing candidate endorsed by the high-profile “squad” member looks set to repeat the accomplishment, with the loser this time a 16-term veteran backed by the party establishment.
In New York’s 16th congressional district, Jamaal Bowman, an African American former middle school principal backed by the Justice Democrats – as were all four squad members in 2018 – has declared victory over Rep. Eliot Engel, the 73-year-old chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and a member of Congress since 1989.
Mail-in ballots have yet to be tallied, but Bowman, 44, leads Engel by a 29-point margin with 99 percent of in-person votes counted.
Endorsements in the closely-watched race reflected divisions in the Democratic Party. MORE
The dumbest generation.
Ever. Anywhere.
Serve’s the jerk right. Besides, it’s fun watching these idiots devour each other.
Leftist candidate Jamaal Bowman says he “can’t wait to get to DC and cause problems for those maintaining the status quo.” Considering that the status quo is now all about causing problems, I’m not sure I get his point.
While I’m here, the article mentioned that Engel brags about supporting the Stonewall Democrats. I know how they got their name (Stonewall riots), but when is this group of gays going to get woke enough to quit using the name of a Confederate general?
While I am all in favor of removing career politicians, it is truly sad to see the push towards electing socialist morons such as AOC. The future of America is in serious question.
AOC and her comrades are never going to be removed from Congress, they are a permanent part of government now.
Whether or not they can be prevented, or at least slowed, in bringing in their fellow Leftists in with them remains to be seen, but I doubt it.
Look at AOC and look at the future, be ready for what it brings.

Gosh. I wonder if Eliot Engel is glad he remained silent for years while tolerating all the anti-semites taking over his party from within?
