Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City, said on Thursday that he intended to apologize for comments he made in 2020 calling the New York Police Department “racist, anti-queer & a major threat to public safety.”
He said that the remarks, which he wrote in June 2020 in a social media post in support of the defund the police movement, were made after the police killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis a month earlier.
The comments were made “at the height of frustration,” he said in an interview with The New York Times, and were not reflective of his current campaign or “my view of public safety and the fact that police will be critical partners in delivering public safety.”
to all dear Americans : you are not voting yourself out of this
In the US, the left typically doesn't win at the ballot box. It's all about what happens between elections.
not sure where i heard it, but we don't elect our saviours, we elect our opposition.
it's better to have him as opposition than anyone else.
