“One of these days in your travels, you are going to come across a guy with a nice brand new deck of cards, and this guy is going to offer to bet you that he can make the Jack of Spades jump out of the deck and squirt cider in your ear. But, son, do not take this bet, for if you do, as sure as you are standing there, you are going to end up with an ear full of cider.'”: Sky Masterson’s father’s advice, from Guys & Dolls
With the above in mind, please read the following commentary – which comes with supporting video – from a posting on twitchy.com:
Zohran Mamdani, the radical Democratic Socialist candidate for mayor of New York City, appeared recently on The Point With Marcia Kramer on WCBS in New York.
At one point, Mamdani complained about his opponents bringing up his extreme tweets from 2020. This opened the door to host, Marcia Kramer, asking if he still held the views espoused in his 2020 tweets.
He accused his opponents, Cuomo in particular, of preferring ‘to debate a mythical version’ of himself – you know, the version of himself that was taken from his own words on Twitter eons ago … in the year of our Lord 2020. It’s basically ancient history at this point.
Clearly, Mamdani knows it’s a problem for him, or he wouldn’t have brought it up.
‘So what you’re really saying … ‘, Kramer offered, ‘ … those tweets from 2020, you’ve evolved from that, you’ve changed from that, you’ve changed your views’.
Listen to Mamdani’s weasely answer: ‘Yes, those are out of step with the campaign we’ve been running’.
Kramer looked to pin him down more tightly. ‘They’re out of step with how you feel … you’ve totally changed your mind?’
Mamdani then forced a ‘yes’. Sure, buddy.
Funny how, until he won the Democrat nomination for Mayor, mamdani never told anyone how “evolved” he had become. But now that he needs to broaden his base enough to insure a victory, suddenly he’s all about evolution. Yep, don’t believe his exact words from just a few years ago – words he is only backing away from now. That doesn’t count. zohran promises.
Feel that cider in your ear?
