In a tweet that was as awkward as a dance-off between Joe Biden and a flight of stairs, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fumbled while trying to pay tribute to her colleague, Jamaal Bowman, after his defeat in a high-stakes Democratic primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District. Instead of properly tagging Bowman, AOC managed to tag some random Twitter account that probably has fewer followers than Joe Biden has brain cells left.
Bowman, a former Bronx middle school principal and rookie congressman, got served a hot dish of defeat by Westchester County Executive George Latimer in a race that hit the headlines like Hunter Biden’s laptop at a computer repair shop. This primary showdown was so expensive that it made Bernie Sanders look like a bargain bin socialist.

AOC’s tweet tried to paint Bowman as the second coming of Abe Lincoln, praising his humble beginnings in public housing and his dedication to the common folk. However, her message got lost in the Twitterverse when she accidentally directed her well-intended tribute at the wrong target, like a blindfolded Kamala Harris trying to pin the blame on the border crisis.
Netizens wasted no time roasting AOC for her slip-up, using it to roast the ‘Squad’ for their apparent lack of basic social media skills, which is as surprising as finding out that Nancy Pelosi’s skincare routine involves bathing in the tears of conservative voters.
Bowman’s defeat might as well be the Democrats’ version of the Hindenburg disaster, a massive blow to the progressive wing of the party and a harsh reality check for the “Squad,” that gang of left-leaning lawmakers who are as popular as a fart in a spacesuit but with less substance.
As the ‘Squad’ contemplates life after Bowman’s tumble, one can only imagine the panic setting in among their ranks, wondering if their woke platitudes and socialist daydreams have finally hit a wall as hard as Chris Cuomo’s journalistic integrity.
The fallout from Bowman’s defeat serves as a cautionary tale for the ‘Squad’ and a reminder that even the loudest voices in the echo chamber of progressivism can sometimes be drowned out by the sobering sound of voters rejecting their radical agenda.
