Democrats are losing Congresscritters because of Democrats sooooo…. RACISM.
Pass the popcorn!
Maloney responded to the court decision by abandoning his old congressional seat and running instead in the newly drawn 17th district. That district is represented by a member of his caucus, progressive freshman Mondaire Jones, who will now have to decide whether he wants to face Maloney in the 17th district or ideological ally Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D.) in the neighboring 16th district.
Another ideological ally, Rep. Ritchie Torres (D., N.Y.), accused Maloney of racism, saying the chairman’s allies are spreading the message that Jones, who is black, “is ideologically ill-suited to represent a Westchester County District.”
Maloney’s decision comes just two weeks after he said that hard-fought Democratic primaries could prompt an “extinction-level event” for the party, the Times reported.
