Patriotic Democrats should oppose Abdul El-Sayed and Darializa Chevalier for Congress and stand up for America. This is both the right thing to do and good politics.
Earlier this month
I am a lifelong Democrat. I served President Clinton on the National Security Council, worked for Madeleine Albright at the State Department, and served as deputy staff director of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when Joe Biden was chairman.
I understand why Islamist terrorists would want to globalize the intifada. It’s harder to understand why progressive Westerners would join calls to eradicate the systems of government and social organization that have given them the rights and freedoms they are now exercising. https://t.co/Qdnpe6ujza
Some are criticizing me for vocally condemning Abdul El-Sayed, Zohran Mamdani, and Darializa Chevalier, accusing me of singling them out because they are Muslims of color.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani continues to incite violence against New York’s Jewish community. His compatriots are aggressively heeding his call, as the latest NYPD figures make clear. Jewish New Yorkers represent roughly 10% of our population but were targeted in 53% of confirmed hate crimes through September.
Abdul El-Sayed is entirely unfit to serve in the U.S. Senate, not because of his name or religion, but because of his deeply troubling, anti-American views.
It pains me to say this (as a liberal Democrat, human rights advocate, New Yorker, and human being), but Zohran Mamdani continues to position himself as an enemy of the Jewish community of New York City. It is no coincidence that his continually expressed bigotry continues to translate into antisemitic violence perpetrated by his compatriots.
If your mind has begun to spin because of the advances AI has recently made in mathematics, buckle up. The spinning is about to get much faster.
Join me calling on UK authorities to immediately investigate the Green Party of England and Wales for advocating Israel’s elimination, supporting terrorism, and inciting violence against the UK’s Jewish community. These heinous actions clearly trigger an aggressive government response under the UK’s Public Order Act of 1986 and Terrorism Acts 2000 and 2006.
How did a party founded to save the environment become a frothing band of antisemites screeching for the murder of Jews? The despicable bigots in the Green Party of England and Wales deserve the same unequivocal condemnation and resolute opposition we would direct at the KKK, Nazis, or al-Qaeda.
The Green Party of England and Wales has voted to brand Zionism racist and replace Israel with a Palestinian state, making the elimination of the world’s only Jewish state an official party objective.
I understand why Ro Khanna has gone from centrist Democrat to progressive firebrand backing DSA candidates who want to seize the means of production. That’s where the social media winds are blowing, and he’s a weathervane. To complete the transformation, I hope he’ll immediately give away 95% of his household’s estimated $150 million fortune.
People chanting “Free Palestine” should finish the sentence so we know what they mean.
Ro Khanna challenged my NewsNation warning about the ideological alignment between the “globalize the intifada” movement in America and Iran’s murderous rulers. Anyone with open eyes can see the growing ideological alignment between the far-left and the Iran-aligned Islamists.
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth yesterday said he wanted “No fatties, no trannies, no beardos, no weirdos, no wimps, no radicals” in the military to create a warfighting culture. A better way to create that culture is to have an effective strategy for actually winning wars.
