answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Between this and the AI dead loved ones app, it is a tremendous day for abominations against God.
The app Text With Jesus uses artificial intelligence and chatbots to offer spiritual guidance to users who are looking to connect with a higher power: on.nbc10.com/7XM8xrf
People can text with Jesus on a controversial new app. How does it work?
Artificial intelligence app Text With Jesus lets users chat with biblical figures and it is raising debate over faith and technology.

Important discovery
I discovered these photos today. And discovered they were friends, Trump and Liberace, mid-1980s Trump Tower co-tenants and shopping buddies. I had no idea.
But I have said many times over the years that Trump's whole Vegas/Pam Beach swank kitsch aesthetic resembles Liberace's.

UAW friends—is this true?
Lutnick: "I had Shawn Fain, he runs the UAW, he called me and he said, 'I can't believe I'm calling a Republican secretary of commerce to tell him you have the best administration, and you are fighting for the autoworker. God bless you.' I mean, who gets that call but Donald Trump's administration?"
