Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) claimed during an appearance on left-wing cable channel MSNBC that President Joe Biden will be impeached and “white nationalists” will launch a campaign of racial violence if the GOP retakes Congress in 2022.
Bowman did not cite any evidence for these conspiracy theories.
“The January 6 Commission would cease to exist. The findings will be completely suppressed and will not be admitted into any further investigations while the GOP will be in power,” Bowman said. “They will impeach President Biden as quickly as possible, and they will continue to find ways to impeach him going forward.”

“It would also embolden Republicans and the far-right, and white nationalists across the country to begin to believe that it is their time to not just take power in the House, but the Senate, the White House, and state houses across the country,” Bowman declared. “We gotta understand that this is a group that has been radicalized by the Great Replacement myth and many other things. They have been pushing for violence and pushing for even civil war.”
The pro-BLM congressman concluded, “So that is what is at stake right now in terms of this election. Our democracy is hanging by a thread, and Black and Brown people, our lives are in the balance if these people come back into power.”
Bowman’s inflammatory remarks were not fact-checked by any major corporate media publications over the weekend.
