Pollster Mark Penn, a longtime adviser to the Clintons, on Wednesday described Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the New York City Democratic mayoral primary as a “911 moment” for the party.
In an interview on Fox News’s “America’s Newsroom,” the chairman of The Harris Poll said those who don’t want to see Mamdani win in November should target him both for his refusal to condemn calls to “globalize the intifada” and for his far-left economic policies.
“Look, this is a 911 moment for the Democratic Party, in the sense that he’s an antisemitic socialist,” Penn said, when asked which angle would be more effective to use against him.
“I think you have to throw both of those things at him because he has really not disavowed the global intifada. He has not really disavowed his comments that we should seize the means of production,” Penn continued.
“He is perhaps the most extreme major candidate ever to win such a major office,” he added.
In my case it’s not clicking past the headline, mea culpa
I’ve just been peeved by comments from Gillibrand and the Republicans earlier this week so I jumped the gun.
The sentence also makes complete sense by both interpretations, because nine-eleven was an emergency.
All nine-elevens are nine-one-ones, but not all nine-one-ones are nine-elevens.
Sure, from your comment I had thought there was some audio making me look like a fool (still didn’t click past the headline to check obv)
I didn’t see any audio or video in the article. He could very well have said “9/11” and the authors left out the forward slash by mistake or thinking it unnecessary.
