(City & State NY) Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s campaign sent a letter threatening a defamation lawsuit against his challenger, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, for defamation after Latimer baselessly accused him of accepting donations from the Hamas terrorist group.

On Monday, Black Westchester magazine reported that Latimer accused Bowman of “taking money from Hamas” while speaking to voters during the 12th Annual Black History Month Celebration at New Rochelle High School on Feb. 10.

Black Westchester editor-in-chief A.J. Woodson told City & State that Latimer made the comments while speaking with a black woman outside the school auditorium.

The woman, who asked to remain anonymous due to concerns for her safety, confirmed to City & State that she is a voter in the district.
