(NY Post) Mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani on Thursday continued to stumble defending the “globalize the intifada” rallying cry — as even fellow Democratic candidate Brad Lander, who cross-endorsed him, joined a pileup of criticism.
The usually smooth-talking Mamdani devolved into word salad as he maintained the phrase is not an incitement to violence against Jews.
“These words have different meanings for many different people, and my point is rather to say that each and every New Yorker deserves that safety and that my focus is going to be on making this an affordable city,” Mamdani said at a news conference.
“I’ve been clear that any incitement of violence is something that I’m in opposition to.”
