The Democrat Party has always prided itself on having a ‘big tent.’ That has become something of a problem lately as they deal with New York City mayoral race and its leading candidate.

On Saturday, Legal Insurrection reported:

Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s refusal to condemn chants of “globalize the intifada” made at the pro-Hamas protests he has frequently defended as a New York state assemblyman and candidate for New York City mayor continues to cause headaches for Democratic Party leaders and further widen existing fissures on the issue of Israel.

As Legal Insurrection reported, the latest example comes courtesy of DNC Chairman Ken Martin, who in a PBS interview earlier this week tapdanced around the subject when asked about it.

Instead of criticizing the Democratic NYC mayoral nominee, Martin cheerfully suggested that the Democratic Party was a “big tent” and welcomed all kinds of people and views, which apparently includes death chants with which he and others might merely disagree:

There’s no candidate in this party that I agree 100% of the time with, to be honest with you. There’s things that I don’t agree with Mamdani that he said.

But at the end of the day, I always believe, as a Democratic Party chair in Minnesota for the last 14 years, and now the chair of the DNC, that you win through addition, you win by bringing people into your coalition.

You even welcome someone who repeats the “globalize the intifada” slogan. Wow. That might make for a somewhat violent big tent.

The article also notes:

Sooo, if you’re keeping score at home, Mamdani can rap about supporting a Hamas terror-funding group, be a member of an extremist political party that doesn’t believe in Israel’s right to exist, be a part of the antisemitic BDS movement, and refuse to condemn death to Jews chants… and still be welcomed with open arms into the modern Democratic Party.

Wow.
