Of course, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul endorses socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor of New York City.
I mean, was she going to endorse former Gov. Andrew Cuomo?
But did Hochul have to endorse anyone, especially the socialist, anti-Israel candidate?
Hochul authored a long op-ed in The New York Times, explaining her position. I couldn’t keep a straight face:
We discussed the need to combat the rise of antisemitism urgently and unequivocally. I’ve been glad to see him meet with Jewish leaders across the city, listening and addressing their concerns directly. I look forward to working together to make sure New Yorkers of all faiths feel safe and welcome in New York City.
Um, Mamdani pledged two days ago to order the arrest of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he ever set foot in the city.
Mamdani refused to condemn chants of “globalize the intifada.”
Mamdani belongs to the Democratic Socialist Party, which boasts many antisemitic views of Israel.
The socialist’s views on Israel is important because NYC has the largest Jewish population in the country.
Do I need to go into detail about how a socialist is bad news for NYC? Hochul complains President Donald Trump has killed jobs, but what do you think a socialist will do!?
