Newly elected Rep. Jamaal Bowman said Monday that the U.S. Capitol riot provided Congress the opportunity to “stop spreading the myth of American exceptionalism” and seriously address systemic racism in the country. “This is a chance for all of us in Congress to sort of begin at a new baseline and stop spreading the myth of American exceptionalism and accept the fact that this is exactly who we are, and this is exactly who we’ve been throughout our country’s history,” Mr. Bowman, New York Democrat, told MSNBC’s Chris Hayes Monday evening. “Whenever there’s social progress, there’s White backlash, particularly from the people

Race-hatred is Democrats' lifeblood. The "MYTH" of American exceptionalism put a man on the MOON. But don't expect ANY sense from any NY Rep. because hammering whites comes naturally to such fools who NEED to place BLAME far from themselves. Look at the CRIME stats to see which segment of our population is really a detriment to society, and which segments point us towards the stars. Perpetual victims can be relied upon to put a drag America which the exceptional always need to overcome.

American exceptionalism is what allows this racist moron to foment his hatred without retribution. Once his communist pals take control any dissent such as his will be summarily and privately prosecuted.

Bowman has my invitation to leave the country. There is nothing more racist than the Democrat Party or blacks. All they talk about. They have had 200 years to get their act straight. It is way past time to get that done.

If it weren't for that American exceptionalism you nitwit, you would never have been in a position to be elected. His lies though go a long way to explain why Trump infuriated the Left by actually doing something for the economic situation of the minority community. Now when Biden's bunch refuses to do the same, the backlash should be pretty intense. You cannot give people a taste of success and then take it away from them without getting repercussions.
I would say to all minorities who feel the same as this nitwit, you are free to leave and go back to Africa or elsewhere if you don't like it here. Nobody is forcing you to stay in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave.

Did he take the Oath of Office? If he did, he lied when he did. He's a fraud. The two new GA Senators will lie when they take the Oath, they despise our Constitution and the USA as founded. I'm tired of all these liars and America-haters, the entire House "squad" included, being elected to "serve" when they have NO intention of upholding and defending the Constitution.
All we need do is listen to what they have been saying just these past two weeks, they unashamedly say they want to deny the First Amendment Rights and protections to their political opposition.
It ought to be a test, like a pre-Oath to determine whether or not they CAN qualify as a Congressman, otherwise, what has been happening --i.e., electing what are essentially traitors-- will continue.
All you have to do is read about the preludes to the fall of empires and regimes: they always bring into the center of power those who seek to destroy it for their own ends.

In a sadly perverse way this ignoramus politician is right about the death of American exceptionalism because they killed it. People completely misunderstood what made America exceptional. We were exceptional relative to the dismal past of human government because we as a nation accepted the enormous moral and cultural burden of making true self government feasible and sustainable. Our Founders knew from the Roman republic experience that self government falls apart when the people no longer respect the cultural norms of the rule of law and revert back to their violent human nature. The Founders brilliantly crafted the system of checks and balances that protected minority from majority factions for 231 years.
It has taken several generations since the 1960's to fully erode the people's moral sense and this year the fraudulent election was the final straw. Half the country has no problem violating the election laws as long as their candidate wins. They should instead hang their heads in shame for what they have done. No really exceptional American that believed in the rule of law would ever accept this undermining of the one person one vote principle that served us so well up to this point.
Rather than being exceptional we have now demonstrated were are just another oligarchy in a world of corrupt installed tyrants like "President" Putin and "President" Xi.

Leftists in New York City should be required to explain where all the massive buildings, businesses and infrastructure came from. Did it jut spring forth from ignorant Millennials with a cell phone? It took boatloads of intelligence, capital, and hard physical labor. And they are hellbent on destroying it all.

Ban anyone who even thinks that the USA is/was/or could be great. Burn all books that would dare suggest something good about USA. Ban the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem. Welcome anyone that can fly, walk or crawl across our border with citizenship and benefits, Ban capital punishment except for hate crimes such as uttering something that offends someone, somewhere.

America not exceptional? Does that mean Jamaal Bowman isn't exceptional. I'm not exceptional? Bowman does not have the authority to tell me that. Nor should I ever make a statement like that about anyone. What a bunch of BS.
America isn't exceptional? Most other countries in the world I wouldn't even want to visit much less live there.
America is exceptional. There are millions of people that want to come here precisely because of that.
Jamaal Bowman is full of bull, and should not be in Congress.

Sure, Jamaal, maybe YOUR people aren't exceptional, in fact they are downright unproductive and underperforming circus animals but those of us who spent our lives improving America may not agree with you. Is that okay or are you going to whine some more?

Not everyone is exceptional. In fact, the more of the foreign folks come in with no love for the country, no interest in learning what the country's history and culture have been, the less exceptional we get.

It's all about raism isn't it? That is the single focus blacks have.
They are not Americans.
Their loyalties, nationalism, and allegiance lie in some foreign country to which they have never bee.
It's hereditary nostalgia and wallowing in self pity.
Their eye lenses must be covered with black roses.

Congressman Jamaal brings a message of unity, Democrat Socialist style. WHITE people comprise a very small minority of the world population, and they are vanishing. What sort of hatred would fuel objection to the existence of a "White-dominant nation" when no one takes issue with there being African-dominant nations, Hispanic-dominant nations, Asian-dominant nations, and the rest? Does every person matter, or is that everyone but WHITE people?
