Abby Phillip Grills George Latimer Over ‘Islamophobic’ Remarks Following Victory Over Jamaal Bowman

CNN host Abby Phillip grilled George Latimer over comments that were accused of being “Islamophobic” on Tuesday after he defeated Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 16th Congressional District.

Speaking to Latimer following his victory over Bowman on Tuesday evening, Phillip noted, “This is, as we’ve been saying, the most expensive House primary in the history of this country. $25 million poured into this New York district, more than $14 million from AIPAC.”

She then asked, “What do you say to some of your constituents who are concerned about that kind of money pouring into politics in this way?”
