“With respect to the Jewish communities that I represent, I think our nominee is going to have to convince folks that he is prepared to aggressively address the rise in antisemitism in the city of New York, which has been an unacceptable development,” Jeffries said on ABC’s This Week.

i seriously hope hakeem jeffries looses whatever elections he tries to run in.

As far as I’ve seen thus far, Mamdani:

has never espoused an antisemitic opinion
has affirmed his commitment to ensuring that Jewish New Yorkers are protected from heinous antisemitic attacks, and also has condemned the attack against Israeli embassy staffers in DC
has high-profile Jewish allies and backers for his campaign
has condemned Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7th in very clear and direct terms
stated that Muslims and Jews in New York can be an example to the world in how they communicate and get along with each other
is not running to be mayor of Israel

Also, Jeffries sucks.

I think it’s high time we take over the Democratic Party and drive these dinosaurs out, with pitchforks if need be.
