Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) said Saturday on MSNBC that he was absolutely disgusted by remarks made by failed former president Donald Trump when he addressed the 2023 NRA convention.
Speaking with host Jonathan Capehart, Bowman noted that Trump’s continued denial that guns are a reason the United States has so many mass shootings, the congressman let loose with a verbal fusillade.
“Donald Trump is the thug! Donald Trump is the thug. He admitted on video, excuse me, he was being recorded and didn’t know he was being recorded, he admitted to sexually assaulting women!”
Bowman was just getting warmed up, however, adding, “He is a man that has engaged in business practices that have been criminal, where he has had to shut down Trump University after raising all kinds of money. He doesn’t pay his taxes. He incited an insurrection! He is the thug.”
The congressman then used the words of another MSNBC host to fully excoriate the disgraced ex-president:
“To quote your colleague, [Medhi] Hasan, every accusation by the GOP is a confession. That is who he is, and that is who they have been banning books, attacks on trans communities, cutting Medicare, cutting Social Security, doing nothing about guns their thuggish behavior leads to the death of people.”
