Mamdani on Concerns About His Anti-Israel Rhetoric: My Job Is to Make Each and Every Person Who Calls This City Their Home Feel Safe

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “My responsibility as a New Yorker and as a mayor of this city is a responsibility to take care of each and every person who calls the city their home, and that is not based upon whether or not they agree with me, how they feel about me, my job is to make sure that they are safe, that they are thriving, and they continue to call this city home, and that's always going to be my North Star on how we can do that, because this is an incredible city and it's a city where everyone needs to know that their belonging to it is not conditional on how they feel about the mayor.”
