Gillibrand apologizes to Mamdani over ‘jihad’ comments - POLITICO So I am glad Gillibrand apologized but she should really do so publicly, not privately, given her smear against him was done publicly, on live radio in fact.

While she’s at the public apology for Mr Mamdani, I believe she owes Mr Al Franken a LONG OVERDUE public apology as well. Then she should resign and try to be a better person.

Yes. Several women accused Al Franken of untoward inappropriate conduct. He was not legally adjudicated. He should’ve had his day in court. The me too movement was big in 2017, seemingly for everyone but Donald Trump, who could grab women by the pussy AND get elected to POTUS. 1/

I am allowed my opinion that Senator Gillibrand owes Al Franken a public apology. She is a horrible Senator, my opinion. The democrats eat their own. The Republicans support one another whether they should or not. We have a messed up system.

Gillibrand is a self-serving asshole. She weaponised attacks on Al Franken which directly lead to destabilising the Dem caucus. She’s no friend of progressives, and no friend of the Party. Also, married to a non-citizen, she’s not good for Americans living abroad. A shitty trifecta, they call it.

I think there’s going to need to be a serious, respectful conversation in this country about the meaning of “intifada” vs the meaning of “jihad”, and some much-needed context as to what it means for Mamdani to stand by that motto. 1/3

Obviously Mamdani is not a jihadist, and the right wing will of course make every effort to paint him as one, as they do of anyone supportive of Palestinian causes. 2/3
jul 1, 2025, 10:49 pm • 1 0 • view
But I think for millions of Americans, the two words are mostly interchangeable, with “intifada” perhaps meaning “jihad directed specifically at Israel & its existence” to some listeners. American ignorance of ME history/issues makes deliberately conflating or misrepresenting things easy.

Mamdani needs security because he is preaching socialist ideologies in a country full of people who think socialism and communism are the same thing. Our fascist government has no problem taking a page out of Russia's playbook in regards to political opponents.
