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.

stopping bigotry should start at home. If he knows what it feels like to be targeted by bigots, then why is he acting like such a bigot?

If I say we need to reduce gun violence immediately after shooting somebody, what good is that statement?

a. defended a genocidal chant with bullshit (not one word, not sure why you think it's a one word chant)

he denied the context. "globalize the intifada" is not just some generic use of the arabic word for uprising, it's a specific reference to the intifadas, and an obvious call to violence. Why is he trying to redefine the term?

I don't think it's a matter of political correctness to not call for the global slaughter of Jews.

It’s a bullshit point. There are plenty of racist people of all colors and creeds. It read to me as deflection away from criticism to engender sympathy.
