Joe Manchin of West Virginia when Manchin voted against Joe Biden's massively inflationary Build Back Better bill.[1] Bowman falsely called Musk a white supremacist for voting to Republican candidate, and pretend that Musk is anti Democracy.[2]
Bowman was confronted at a public event over his support for Ukrainian neo-Nazis during the 2022 Midterm elections and had no explanation other than vowing to continue funding.[3]
