Mayor Mamdani was asked about how he feels about being called a “traitor” by hard-left pro-Palestine protesters last night. Mamdani says he was “proud” to attend a vigil for Oct. 7 victims and again condemns the war in Gaza as a “genocide.”

Mandami is mayor for all people regardless of religion and background. The mayor must support all communities. He is a good handsome man.

I can not stand these purity testing leftist. They are a cancer to the progressive movement.

That’s a smart king right there

I am never not impressed by his ability to stay on message.

I don’t even like democrats but the way the switch up On this man wow

How dare he have empathy for both people being killed! That means he's a Zionist cul now omg! Like what a joke these people are 💀🙄

Nothing wrong with condemning hamas's actions, two things can be true at once. Sure the scale might differ but its still innocent humans at the end of the day. At the same time I don't blame hamas members who joined out of pure hatred and revenge due to whats happened to their friends & family... its hard to be anything but blinded by revenge/hatred at that point.

I have to give it to mamdani he makes the right wingers crazy mad but managed to also make the extremist leftest also mad 😭 for having NUANCE

@dontsippy This is what grace and leadership looks like

even he gets that being protested is part of the job, so all the libs riding his coattails into relevance can hop off now

You can support 2 sides while not being a centrist. You can absolutely tell he condemns the genocide but also doesn’t want hate to continue for people whose nation is out of their hands. I feel nothing but pity for him.

@birdmoder If these morons calling him a traitor don’t back the fuck up,,,

"I was proud to attend a vigil for the Nazi victims of the Warsaw ghetto uprising, and also I condemn the Holocaust."

The left could win so much more if people were like him!!! Just be normal

You can mourn innocent lives taken by a terrorist group and still hold the victim country’s government accountable for their wrongdoings. The amount of cognitive dissonance coming out of both sides in this Israel situation is staggering.

mamdani's my guy, and he killed the anti-boycott order on day one. but "genocide" is the word that already got him elected. for starters, the nypd still has a post in israel and the pension money's still sitting there. the job's a lot bigger than the word

Ziohran mamditler and his bots can't reverse the damage

People acting as if October 7th wasn't one of the worst massacres of recent years. You do realize it's possible to have empathy with victims on both sides, right?

The nyc mayor isn’t perfect but showing respect to innocent civilians who have been murdered does not make him a traitor, people just see all these situations as black and white

It’s crazy when the guy who the right calls a terrorist makes these retards look like Osama Bin Laden

Hey look ma. I can be two faced and lie to everyone at the same time!

Man who thinks people dying is bad also thinks other people dying is bad.

Can he at least make cops do real work . Why is there 10 cops playing candy crush while they wait for a fare evader in the train

saying genocide out loud is apparently the bar now and hes still getting called a traitor for it. purest leftists really eat their own faster than the right ever could.

You know that you are doing it right and living in reality if Hamas and Netanyahu loyalists are both mad at you. Stand with the people not the war criminals 👊

Liars don't answer questions; they deflect and divert the conversation.

I don't see why it's a hot take. October 7th was bad. People died there. And their families deserved justice. Then, those looking for "justice" went way overboard. They're killing thousands now. That's wrong. They need to stop. And a 2 state solution should be the gold standard.

Traitor is building coalitions under "Black lives matter" with 120 Muslim organizations "Black-Led" for Palestine while completely silent about 70,000 Black Africans genocide for Qatar World Cup construction

I don't agree with him on everything, but I do feel bad for him. He has to manage the fickle loyalty of a group with no principles and a lot of anger.

So just because Mayor Mamdani condemned Hamas' acts of terrorism that took place on October 7, that makes him a traitor in the protesters' eyes? How? For not being pro-Palestine enough?

There are people still waking up to the truth and opening their eyes and seeing the propaganda they've been fed their entire lives. Mamdani isn't perfect, but he is trying to support his constituents. All of them. Bringing the separate lines together in even small ways is good.

The protestors are pretty gross. Yesterday was such an inappropriate day to protest while so many are mourning

Yeah it’s almost like you can hold grief for civilians that are killed on any given side during genocide while still understanding whose fault it is???

The "backlash" is overblown, this is how the people who benefit from keeping him out of office are trying to get him after everything else seems to glance right off him. They want people to think it's a bigger outrage than it is, don't fall for it.

You can feel bad for innocent civilian victims and condemn Israel and the genocide in Gaza at the same time. I know it's hard to believe.
