Mamdani Quotes Tupac Shakur: ‘We Always Seem to Have Money for War But Never to Feed the Poor’

EXCERPT:

REPORTER: "Does that frustrate you, that you’re watching this money, $900 million a day being spent on the war, where you have projects which costs much less, that could make a huge difference. Does that frustrate you?"
MAMDANI: "I think it should frustrate all of us. I mean, you know, Tupac said it decades ago, it continues to be true, about the fact that we always seem to have money for war, but not to feed the poor. And that is not the way that politics should be. That is not what Americans want politics to be."
