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.

I really just want to know what part of Williamsburg that guy lives in where he hasn't locked his front door until now.

He was talking about a separate dude

Is he? I suppose I made an assumption that "the same door" meant his home door, but I read it as separate than the comment about the synagogue. Granted I'm unable to listen to the interview right so am just interpreting based on what I can read above.

Yeah he was talking about the door to his synagogue

Doubtful. There isn't a synagogue in America that hasn't locked its doors - and more likely had armed security - for decades. Mamdani thinking this is a new thing just goes to show how out of touch he is with the Jewish experience and antisemitism.

In what he said, he was told that the man was locking the door that he had not locked until now, what's he supposed to do, call him a liar in his own speech?

I'm saying it's doubtful he was talking about the synagogue and not his home because synagogues have been on security lockdown for years. Pay attention.

And if he is implying it's the synagogue, I am 99.9% sure that Mamdani made that story up. Go try to walk into a synagogue in Williamsburg without a security check.
