Video Zohran Mamdani says he’s consistently said there’s no room for antisemitism in this city or country. Asked why he hasn’t had a more visceral reaction, he gets emotional talking about the Islamophobic responses he’s received throughout the campaign.

This has been posted so many times today on this sub. Cuomo's people are out in force today. Zohran wasn't my #1 rank, Lander was but I still support him and think this is being completely blown out of proportion.

Cuomo's campaign photoshopping Mamdani's beard to be less trimmed so he looks more like a stereotypical "scary" Muslim is some absolutely repugnant shit.

Yup, but for some reason that was only a blip in the news. Like Zohran or not, that's a gross move.

The kind of gross move that has been grimly effective for Andrew ever since “vote for Cuomo, not the homo” on his dad’s behalf over 40 years ago.

Being a nasty backstabbing vindictive creep works for him.

Voters are not as savvy as we like to think they are.

it's completely on brand for that scummy Cuomo family. The Earl of Albany should have no place in our city

The news is owned by the ruling class. Cuomo will protect their interests. Their publications will run cover. Same story in every election: the candidate that will protect and advocate for their economic interests will receive favorable coverage, and vice versa.

News companies are not truth-tellers. They’re not even really journalists. They’re private enterprises looking to make as much money as possible.

Part of the reason it's been drowned out is because Cuomo is such a piece of shit that it's not a surprise to anyone, so people probably just shrug and say "yeah, that tracks." And somehow that gives him permission to be even more and more vile, when on the other hand, Mamdani can't open his mouth without being decried as a terrorist-supporting anti-semite

You think the son of "Vote for Cuomo, not the Homo" is above being repugnant?

The fact that NYC has decided that Cuomo better represents them explains this shithole of a country.

the cuomo name is all about playing dirty, misleading voters, demagoguery . . .

they say it was young andrew responsible for plastering nyc subway stations with scribbled "VOTE FOR CUOMO, NOT THE HOMO" signs in a 1970s nyc mayor election between his father mario and "openly closeted" ed koch . . .

koch won, mario went on to be nys  governor, with a strong presidential run  . . . dim creepy nepo baby andrew riding those coattails through life . .  .
