It was more a reference to Latimer’s racist dog whistles. Stuff like claiming Bowman has an “ethnic advantage” and accusing Bowman of representing Deerborn, MI because he criticizes Israel.

He’s continually tokenized black people, his response to criticism over his racist remarks has been that he can’t be racist because there are black people who’ve endorsed him. Literally the “I have black friends” argument.

Latimers just another racist old conservative with AIPAC funding shoved up his ass.
