On Sunday, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) tried – weakly – to downplay the prominance of Democrat New York Mayoral candidate zohran mamdani.
From Frank Bergman’s article at slaynews.com:
Smith, speaking on Fox News Sunday, took direct aim at Mamdani, trying to rein in his influence and solidify the Democratic Party’s mainstream positions.
“Look, the mayor of New York has never, never, ever been the leader of the Democratic Party,” Smith stated when asked about Mamdani’s growing prominence.
He emphasized the “Big Tent” nature of his party, but insisted that Mamdani does not represent the Democrats’ ideals.
“Mamdani isn’t speaking for our party, any more than I’m speaking for our party,” Smith said, attempting to downplay Mamdani’s influence.
But you aren’t rejecting him, are you, Rep. Smith.
In fact, other than just a few (far from all) Jewish House members, I do not know of any Democrats in congress who are condemning mamdani and rejecting his candidacy.
My two question to Democrats:
-If zohran mamdani is a socialist/near communist, who hates Israel and seems pretty clearly to have a problem with Jews in general, why are you not condemning/rejecting him?
-What do you think this tells voters about you?
I’d love answers to those questions. But I would bet body parts I’m not going to get them. All I’ll get is a general BS comment that Democrats are a “big tent” party…as if that explains mamdani away.
It doesn’t.
