Mamdani Proves Democrats Have Abandoned Jews

Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City Democrat mayoral primary marks a troubling shift in the Party’s relationship with Jewish Americans. Mamdani’s candidacy is not simply progressive—it is openly hostile toward Israel and indifferent to rising antisemitism.

By nominating him, the party has endorsed a candidate whose record reveals not just poor judgment, but outright radicalism.

After the Hamas-led terrorist attack on October 7, 2023—when over 1,200 Israelis were murdered, including children burned alive and women raped—Mamdani declined to offer a clear condemnation. Instead, he deflected by calling Israel an “apartheid regime” at a time when moral clarity was urgently needed.

Mamdani’s political brand is defined by this kind of extremism. He has openly supported the BDS movement, called for the arrest of Israel’s Prime Minister, and routinely demonizes Israel while refusing to hold terrorists accountable.

“Mamdani represents a deeply alarming shift—one that is not only hostile to American values but directly hostile to the Jewish people and the State of Israel,” said Brandon Straka, founder of the WalkAway Campaign. “His refusal to unequivocally condemn terrorism makes one thing clear: Mamdani is no ally to the Jewish community.”

Mamdani’s rise reflects a broader crisis within the Democratic Party. In late 2024, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blocked the Antisemitism Awareness Act, which would have required federal agencies to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism. That definition is supported by over 40 democracies and widely embraced by Jewish organizations.

Schumer’s refusal—whether due to political calculation or fear of backlash from the party’s activist wing—sent a message that Jewish safety is no longer a priority.

Even among rising Democrats, the trend is clear. I recently interviewed Alabama Senate nominee Dakarai Larriett, who spoke at length about civil rights and interfaith dialogue. But when asked about the IHRA definition or Schumer’s obstruction of the Antisemitism Awareness Act, he deflected.

This type of evasion reflects a culture where antisemitism is minimized and support for Israel is treated as politically risky.

The Democrat Party’s distancing from the Jewish community became especially clear after the Boulder terrorist attack in May 2025, when a man set people on fire at a pro-Israel rally. More than 100 Democratic House members refused to support a resolution condemning the attack. Their silence echoed deeply within Jewish communities nationwide and exposed a troubling double standard.

Mamdani’s extremism is not limited to Israel. He co-sponsored legislation to allow inmate housing based solely on gender identity—a policy that, in other states, has led to violence and even pregnancies in women’s prisons. He supported shielding illegal immigrants from law enforcement during felony investigations and backed costly packaging regulations that burden small businesses.

For decades, Jewish Americans were loyal Democrats, believing the party stood for civil rights, religious liberty, and democratic values. But today, support for Israel is treated as offensive, and concerns about antisemitism are too often dismissed as politically inconvenient.

The result is that many Jewish Americans feel politically abandoned by a party they once called home.

“You are not alone, and you are not powerless,” Straka said to Jewish New Yorkers. “Walk away from Zohran Mamdani’s dangerous ideology—an ideology that undermines democracy, inflames hatred, and threatens your future.”

Zohran Mamdani’s vision for New York is built on government overreach, collapsing public order, and moral confusion. His agenda threatens the freedoms of all New Yorkers—especially the Jewish community. Brandon Straka’s effort to defeat Mamdani represents a stand against a radical movement determined to dismantle the very foundations of the city

Black Lives Matter Activist in Boston Pleads Guilty to Federal Fraud Charges – Scammed Donors to Fund Her Lifestyle

Screencap of YouTube video.

A Black Lives Matter activist in Boston named Monica Cannon-Grant pleaded guilty to federal charges this week, admitting that she scammed donors and used their money to fund her own lavish lifestyle.

Cannon-Grant was previously held up as an admired figure. The city of Boston named her the Bostonian of the year at one point for her ‘social justice activism’ and she was even recognized by the Boston Celtics basketball team for her efforts.

She is now facing a minimum of two years in prison.

The New York Post reports:

BLM-linked activist admits conning donors to fund her lavish lifestyle

A once-celebrated Boston social activist has pleaded guilty to defrauding donors — including Black Lives Matter — out of thousands of dollars that she used as a personal piggy bank.

Monica Cannon-Grant, 44, pleaded guilty Monday to 18 counts of fraud-related crimes that she committed with her late husband while operating their Violence in Boston (VIB) activists group, according to the US Attorney’s Office in Massachusetts.

The activist scammed money — including $3,000 from a BLM group — while claiming it was to help feed children and run protests like one in 2020 over the murder of George Floyd and police violence.

Cannon-Grant also conned her way into getting $100,000 in federal pandemic-related unemployment benefits — which she used to pay off her personal auto loan and car insurance policy.

But she has now confessed to transferring funds to personal bank accounts to pay for rent, shopping sprees, delivery meals, visits to a nail salon — and even a summer vacation to Maryland.

Just amazing.

Here’s a local video report:

She should pay back every penny.

Keith Olbermann Backpedals Furiously With Apology for Threatening CNN’s Scott Jennings – Jennings Responds (VIDEO)

As the Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, former MSNBC host and generally unhinged leftist Keith Olbermann, appeared to threaten CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings on Twitter saying, ‘You’re next motherf**ker.’

Well, Olbermann may have gotten a phone call or a visit from the FBI because today he walked back those comments with a full-throated apology.

RedState has an update:

To quickly recap, Scott Jennings, a Salem Media Network radio host and conservative CNN political commentator, reacted to breaking news on Monday that Kimmel had been reinstated by tweeting, “So basically his employer suspended him for being an insensitive pr**k, and we don’t live in an authoritarian regime? Got it.”

This enraged Olbermann, who proceeded to tweet what many, including Jennings, perceived to be a threat. “You’re next, motherf**ker. But keep mugging to the camera.” Jennings tagged Patel and included a screengrab of the tweets in response.

Though the FBI hasn’t commented as to whether an investigation was launched, Olbermann ostensibly appears to have thought twice about what he tweeted and deleted, apologizing profusely in tweets posted on Tuesday and claiming what he wrote was “misinterpreted”:

See Olbermann’s tweet below:

Scott Jennings, always a class act, offered this hilarious response:

Keith Olbermann really needs help. The guy is just so out of control.

Where is Lance Twiggs? Kirk Assassin’s Transgender Lover Has Vanished

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson and roommate Lance Twiggs

Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson lived with his transgender partner – a male-to-female trans named Lance “Luna” Twiggs.

The FBI used Robinson’s texts with his transgender partner to solidify that Robinson was the assassin. Lance Twiggs has not been charged with any crime; however, federal authorities are still investigating.

Last week, Utah authorities released the text exchange between Tyler Robinson and his transgender lover, Lance Twiggs, sent shortly after Kirk’s assassination.

Utah County District Attorney Jeff Gray announced seven charges against Charlie Kirk assassin Tyler Robinson. They will also be seeking the death penalty.

Robinson was charged with:

– Count 1: Aggravated murder (capital offense)
– Count 2: Felony reckless discharge of a firearm causing bodily injury
– Count 3: Felony obstruction of justice for hiding the firearm
– Count 4: Felony obstruction of justice for discarding the clothing he wore during the shooting
– Count 5: Witness tampering for asking roommate to delete incriminating messages
– Count 6: Witness temperating for demanding trans roommate stay silent, and not speak to police
– Count 7: Commission of a violent offense in the presence of a child

Jeff Gray released the chilling texts between Tyler Robinson and his “love” Lance Twiggs.

Read the text exchange here:

Lance Twiggs was reportedly cooperating with the FBI, however, according to the Daily Mail he has seemingly vanished.

“If [Lance Twiggs] ever comes back, it will be in a body bag,” a neighbor said to the Daily Mail. “That’s not a threat – I’m just saying that there are so many people who want a piece of him he’d be mad to show his face in public again. This was a generational event.”

The Daily Mail reported:

The Trans boyfriend of Charlie Kirk’s alleged assassin has fled their former lovenest – and locals tell the Daily Mail they never want to see him again.

Lance Twiggs, 22, was led away for questioning when police swooped on the smart three-bed condo he shared with accused gunman Tyler Robinson, 22.

Shaken neighbors say the part time plumber has not been back to the $320,000 property in St. George, Utah – one declaring: ‘Good riddance. I never want to see either of them again.’

His beaten-up Infinity compact is still parked in his space with his work gear tossed across the back seat and a sandwich wrapper and a drink on the front passenger seat.

Upstairs lights have been left on for more than a week and notes and Amazon packages are piling up outside the home owned by Twiggs’s devout Mormon family.
