NYC's Democrat committee elects Muslim candidate to run for mayor

It's very sad that NYC, already in tatters ever since Rudy Giuliani left office, is now facing the prospect of having a Muslim candidate elected to mayor's office, much like London's long had Sadiq Khan as their overlord. And the worst part about socialist-supporting candidate Zohran Mamdani is that he's made statements condoning "intifada":

Zohran Mamdani, a Democrat running for mayor of New York, drew pushback from Jewish organizations and political leaders this week after he appeared to defend the slogan “globalize the intifada.”

In an interview with The Bulwark posted Tuesday, Mamdani was asked whether the expression made him uncomfortable. In response, he said the slogan captured “a desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights.” He said the U.S. Holocaust Museum had used the word “intifada” in Arabic-language descriptions of the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Uprising against Nazi Germany.

Oh, so he's using the approach of a USA-based Holocaust museum, leftist as it can definitely be, as the shield for his comments? Well, no shock there. The museum's staff did respond though:

The Washington-based U.S. Holocaust Museum sharply condemned Mamdani’s remarks Wednesday on X: “Exploiting the Museum and the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising to sanitize ‘globalize the intifada’ is outrageous and especially offensive to survivors. Since 1987 Jews have been attacked and murdered under its banner. All leaders must condemn its use and the abuse of history.”

The museum did not immediately respond to a request for comment on how it had translated the Warsaw Uprising into Arabic.

Well if they actually did use the word, which has long been synonymous with jihadist terrorist riots, they gave him a weapon they shouldn't have. These left-wing institutions have long been a PC joke.

Seeing how the disgraced Andrew Cuomo, who'd been accused of sexual misconduct, was the candidate who ran against Mamdani in the primary, one must wonder if it was deliberate in order to make Mamdani look good. He has faced criticism even from some Democrats though:

“Socialist Zohran Mamdani is too extreme to lead New York City,” Gillen said. “His entire campaign has been built on unachievable promises and higher taxes, which is the last thing New York needs.”

“Beyond that, Mr. Mamdani has called to defund the police and has demonstrated a deeply disturbing pattern of unacceptable antisemitic comments which stoke hate at a time when antisemitism is skyrocketing,” Gillen continued. “He is the absolute wrong choice for New York.”

But are they going to oppose him in any way if he's elected mayor? It's unlikely. Unless Curtis Sliwa is elected mayor, this is bound to really plunge NYC into darkness. Mamdani is just one more reason why I've never felt any attachment to NYC.
