Rep. Jamaal Bowman Disavows Past Promotion of 9/11 Conspiracy Theories

The New York Democrat expressed regret for a 2011 blog post, stating his record as an elected official shows he does not hold such views today.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a Democrat representing New York's 16th District, has been found to have promoted 9/11 conspiracy theories in a blog post from 2011.
Bowman, who was a school principal at the time of the blog post, has since disavowed the theories and expressed regret for the post.
The blog post, titled 'Recapitulate,' includes a 137-line poem that delves into various conspiracy theories about the 9/11 attacks.
