Joy Reid: Mamdani’s Primary Win Is a ‘Revulsion in the Treatment of Immigrants’

EXCERPT:

REID: "I had him on, on the show on Friday. We also had Brad Lander on and Brad Lander talked about being tackled by ICE agents as he was trying to defend immigrants. What Mamdani said, that I thought was really extraordinary, he would be the first immigrant mayor of the preeminent immigrant capital in the United States, a city that is a sanctuary city, where people are still being accosted at their immigration hearings. And so I think just symbolically, I think this is a message about people‘s revulsion in the treatment of immigrants by this administration and about the ways in which the Adams administration has been complicit in that. And I think that‘s part of what‘s made him popular."
