NYC Mayor Mamdani Says He Disagrees with Hasan Piker’s Remarks, but Will Not Back Away from People Whose Views He Rejects

‘If you just surround yourself with people who echo everything that you say and think, you’re going to just end up at home looking in a mirror’

EXCERPT:

MAMDANI: “I would say those are all things that I disagree with. And I’ve made very clear about my own opinions. And I think that it’s important to both be able to be confident in your opinions and be able to have a conversation with those that you disagree with, those that you agree with. Because if you just surround yourself with people who echo everything that you say and think, you’re going to just end up at home looking at a mirror.”
