Gillibrand's disgusting comments about Zohran Mamdani on Brian Lehrer's show [View all]

This clip features excerpts of Kristen Gillibrand's radio interview with Brian Lehrer. What is truly remarkable about it is the way she, a non-Jewish person, presumes to lecture Brian Lehrer (who is Jewish, and is a highly respected radio host here in NY). As Lehrer pushes back on her outrageous claims, the interview goes from Gillibrand stating (falsely) that Mamdani supports "global jihad" and violence against Jews, to falsely claiming Mamdani said "globalize the intifada (no, he never said it, he was asked specifically to denounce the phrase, and he declined to do so), to eventually Gillibrand admitting she had no evidence on which t o base these claims, yet continued to imply that Mamdani was somehow anti-Semitic. This is just vile!
