Because you’ll remember that last Tuesday, three candidates backed by Zohran Mamdani, including two Democratic Socialists, won their primaries, sparking this whole conversation about whether socialism’s taking over the Democratic Party. And their victories were especially provocative because two of them won against sitting Democrats, and the third beat the chosen successor to the retiring incumbent. So when a reporter asked House minority leader Hakeem Jeffries whether Mamdani’s endorsements there were a f***—you to the party, he gave this not so friendly answer. “Listen, the mayor and I agreed to strongly disagree on some of his endorsements, and he’s got work to do in terms of the conversations that he’s going to have with members of Congress moving forward.” But that was tame compared to the response from Representative Josh Gottheimer, who said, “Many of us believe, as I do, that if you’re a socialist, you’re not a Democrat.” And then, 15 moderate Dems signed this manifesto declaring: “Politics forces false choices between extremes on right and left. We reject them. We believe in a growing, fair, and competitive economy that rewards hard work, innovation, entrepreneurship, and ownership. We are proud, not ashamed of America. … We are mainstream, not extreme. … We are capitalist, not socialist.” Well yesterday, during a sit-down interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Mamdani addressed all this criticism from his fellow party members. ———————————— Produced by: Cory Ray, Philip DeFranco Edited by: James Girardier, Maxwell Enright, Julie Goldberg, Christian Meeks, Matthew Henry Art Department: William Crespo Writing/Research:Chris Tolve, Philip DeFranco ———————————— #AOC #BenShapiro #Mamdani
