Fire alarm puller, whacky conspiracy theorist, anti-Semite, and far-left Congressman Jamaal Bowman is facing a tough primary challenge, and in an attempt to turn his political fortunes around, he journeyed over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday, where the eponymous host helped sanitize his history of spouting Hamas propaganda while also attacking Republicans for their opposition to Critical Race Theory.
Colbert asked Bowman, who is also a former principal, “One of the biggest fights going on, sort of, culture fights going on in the United States right now is in some school districts, generally controlled by Republican legislatures, have outlawed the teaching of what they call or consider Critical Race Theory, but rarely is, lessons on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion. As somebody who used a head of school, what's your response to that? What are the values—what is the value of keeping that in schools?”
For Bowman, proper education is learning less about George Washington and more about cop killers. Still, despite the softball nature of Colbert’s question, Bowman couldn’t manage to answer it. Instead, he waxed poetic about diversity, “First of all, Republicans are bullies, man. They’re trying to bully the entire country into one singular way of thinking and our strength is our diversity as a nation. The fact that we come from different countries, have different backgrounds, different experiences, we need to learn more about each other because that's how you bring the country together and people together.”
