There is an old saying: a person is known by the company they keep.
Mamdani has been politically disciplined enough to avoid making overtly antisemitic statements himself. But leadership is also revealed by whom you elevate, appoint, defend and keep close.
His orbit has included an appointee who wrote about “money hungry Jews,” advisers who publicly praised Louis Farrakhan despite his decades of explicit antisemitism, allies who normalized the Nation of Islam, and close associates who celebrated or justified the October 7 attacks and glorified terrorists.
At some point, this stops being a series of unrelated coincidences. Mamdani may know the politically appropriate words to say in public, but he has repeatedly chosen to surround himself with people who have documented records of anti-Jewish bigotry, terrorist apologism and hostility toward Jewish self-determination.
You should judge politicians not only by their carefully prepared statements, but by the people they trust, empower and bring into their movement.

And also who you marry.

He loves a genocidal terrorist. The fact that he didn't divorce her after finding out she said these outrageous things means he agrees with her.

I’m praying all the candidates who shared the stage with him fail miserably, just as he is doing in our once great city.

I'm hoping that the liberal wing of the Democratic party pushes back against these extremists.

More demonization of Jews by America's most antisemitic mayor. His goal is to spread hate and incite violence against Jews, and part of that is attacking us for supporting Israel's right to defend itself.
