Rep. D’Esposito calls on House to condemn cop killer Assata Shakur — and Rep. Jamaal Bowman who celebrated her

Jamaal Bowman. Shakur, whose real name is Joanne Chesimard, was connected to several execution-style slayings of NYPD officers in 1971 and 1972 and was later convicted with two others for the murder of New Jersey State Trooper Werner Foerster in 1973. She escaped from a New Jersey prison in 1979 and is believed to have been granted political asylum in Cuba.
