In one post published in the form of a poem\u2014which Bowman penned as he served as principal of a public New York City middle school\u2014the Democrat questioned whether a plane actually hit the Pentagon on Sept. 11 and suggested the United States &#8220;blamed&#8221; Osama bin Laden for orchestrating the attacks in a bid to declare war against Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;2001\/Planes used as missiles\/Target: The Twin Towers,&#8221; Bowman wrote in one stanza. &#8220;Later in the day\/Building 7\/Also Collaspsed [sic]\/Hmm\u2026\/Multiple explosions\/Heard before\/And during the collapse\/Hmm\u2026&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Allegedly\/Two other planes\/The Pentagon\/Pennsylvania\/Hijacked by terrorist\/Minimal damage done\/Minimal debris found\/Hmmm\u2026&#8221; Bowman continued. &#8220;We blamed Osama\/Went to war in Iraq\/Captured Saddam\/Killed him.

The former contends that the U.S. government carried out the Sept. 11 attacks, while the latter posits that a cabal of international bankers control the world. Bowman&#8217;s poem mentions the director behind <em>Zeitgeist<\/em>\u2014Peter Joseph\u2014by name, as well as other prominent conspiracy theorists.<\/p>\n<p>The revelation comes as Bowman faces a difficult primary campaign against Westchester County executive George Latimer, who launched his campaign against the congressman in December. Bowman has repeatedly referenced the Sept. 11 attacks during his tenure as a congressman, having called for a &#8220;9\/11-type commission&#8221; to investigate the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n<p>Bowman told the <em>Daily Beast<\/em> he &#8220;regrets&#8221; posting the poem and said his &#8220;life&#8217;s work has proven&#8221; he does not believe the conspiracy theories he espoused.\t<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well over a decade ago, as I was debating diving into a doctoral degree, I explored a wide range of books, films, and articles across a wide swath of the political spectrum and processed my thoughts in a personal blog few people ever read,&#8221; Bowman said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t believe anything that these cranks have ever said, and my life&#8217;s work proves that,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;As a congressman, I&#8217;ve \u2026 stood up to MAGA extremists, and I&#8217;ve called out the endless bullshit of the far-right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;Multiple explosions\/Heard before\/And during the collapse\/Hmm\u2026&#8217; NY congressman wrote Jamaal Bowman (Getty Images) New York Democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman published a poem suggesting the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks were a false flag operation used by the U.S. government to wage war in the Middle East, according to a new report.
