Mamdani: Difference Is Something New Yorkers Celebrate

COLBERT Mr Mamdani I ░░░░░░░░ just curious how do ░░░░░░░░ think you would be ░░░░░░░░ first Muslim mayor of ░░░░░░░░ York How do you ░░░░░░░░ you could build a ░░░░░░░░ of understanding between the ░░░░░░░░ Muslim population here in ░░░░░░░░ city and the significant ░░░░░░░░ population here in the ░░░░░░░░ How do you think ░░░░░░░░ could you lower tension ░░░░░░░░ I think by foregrounding ░░░░░░░░ humanity In many ways ░░░░░░░░ s the most New ░░░░░░░░ City thing we can ░░░░░░░░ because for so many ░░░░░░░░ us who have grown ░░░░░░░░ here in this city ░░░░░░░░ is something that we ░░░░░░░░ It s something that ░░░░░░░░ know is actually part ░░░░░░░░ the fabric of this ░░░░░░░░ that we call home ░░░░░░░░ know many years ago ░░░░░░░░ was the campaign manager ░░░░░░░░ a Jewish candidate for ░░░░░░░░ Senate and I took ░░░░░░░░ to a mosque in ░░░░░░░░ Ridge and after he ░░░░░░░░ his speech at Friday ░░░░░░░░ an older Palestinian man ░░░░░░░░ over to him and ░░░░░░░░ looked at him and ░░░░░░░░ Cousins I think that ░░░░░░░░ is this possibility of ░░░░░░░░ a shared life in ░░░░░░░░ city because ultimately that ░░░░░░░░ the story of New ░░░░░░░░ City It s a ░░░░░░░░ life of people from ░░░░░░░░ the world and it ░░░░░░░░ one that we know ░░░░░░░░ in the language of ░░░░░░░░ hostage families themselves everyone ░░░░░░░░ everyone We are tied ░░░░░░░░ as one.”
