On Sunday, Breitbart posted an article about one Democrat’s comment about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani. The election will be held on November 4th.

The article reports:

The divide in the Democratic Party further widened this week when Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA) publicly said that New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani “isn’t speaking for our party.”

As Breitbart News previously chronicled, Zohran Mamdani holds extremely far-left positions, most specifically on private property and Israel, with some questionable views on the Jewish state. Since coming within striking distance of becoming the mayor of New York City, moderate Democrats have been sounding the alarm. Speaking on Fox News Sunday, Rep. Adam Smith attempted to distance Mamdani from the rest of the party.

“Look, the mayor of New York has never, never, ever been the leader of the Democratic Party,” Smith said when asked about Mamdani.

Smith then played off Mamdani’s prominence as being the result of the Democrats’ “Big Tent” platform.

“Mamdani isn’t speaking for our party, any more than I’m speaking for our party. It’s a big tent. It’s a big coalition,” he said before attacking President Donald Trump on his “Big, Beautiful Bill.”

The article concludes:

Jewish Democrats also denounced Mamdani for refusing to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” while refusing to recognize Israel as a Jewish state.

“To not be willing to condemn the term ‘globalize the intifada,’ it just demonstrates his callous disregard for antisemitism, terrorist activity,” said Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).

“Anyone that I care about couldn’t possibly distance themselves from him more,” Wasserman Schultz added. “It’s really terribly disturbing and potentially dangerous.”

Fellow Jewish Democrat lawmaker Rep. Brad Schneider (D-IL) said Mamdani is “either ignoring or gaslighting the public” when he said “globalize the intifada” is “a peaceful call.”

“I think he’s wrong on all those things,” Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL). “If he can’t tell people ‘globalizing the intifada’ — if he can’t say that that’s antisemitic, then obviously he’s going to continue to add to the problem, not deflate it.”

Globalizing the intifada is a call for violence. I don’t think having a ‘big tent’ means that you have to welcome people who espouse violence into your political party.
