Zohran Mamdani’s tweet on Oct. 7 “has caused me to drop my objection to people calling him anti-Semitic because he’s not a stupid guy,” says @MarkHalperin. The mayor’s statement denouncing Israel’s role in Gaza “ignores the fact that Hamas puts its offices in hospitals and where civilians are. Hamas is the reason that this has happened. And like I said, if people want to call that guy anti-Semitic now, it’s okay with me. And that’s a big change for me.”

He’s totally anti semitic

I respect Mark's previous position. I totally get why he felt that way. But he's 100% correct here. Mamdani knew exactly what he was doing here but he's more and more emboldened to show who he really is. It's safer and safer to Jew-hate and be Pro-Islam. Mamdani and Abdul in Michigan are two of the most dangerous politicians in U.S. history.

Glad you woke up. Mamdani is a con man. Everything he does is to advance the caliphate

He just figured this out now? This has been obvious all along, since the first moment I saw Mamdani utter a single sentence. He is the 20th hijacker, basically. He hates Israel just like Bin Laden and Ayatollah Khomeini.

It’s been obvious for a long time, Mark

They’re also the people that use women and children as shields and then take photographs of their bloody bodies blaming Israel.

Mark, it took you awhile to get here but at least you’re finally understanding what most of us already knew.

Commie Mamdani is first and foremost one of the jihadist brethren. It's not been very secret. All you had to do was look. But yesterday, Mamdani made it 100% clear to anyone paying attention. Thank you Commie @ZohranKMamdani

I’m sorry but you’re just now realizing this? I really like you and your show but I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing here. It’s been glaringly obvious from the beginning that he’s an antisemite. At a certain point it’s not “fair and balanced…it just dumb.

Mamdani went to a Palestinian restaurant on October 7, showing he supports Hamas and the massacre. Deport!

Mark, I don’t understand why you objected to it before. Did you ignore his statements and actions before this? Look who he surrounds himself with.

Jews hatred comes in three forms 1. Anti Judaism - hatred for Jews because of their faith - they want to kill expel or forcibly convert all Jews 2. Antisemitism- hatred for Jews because of their race/ethnicity - they want to kill or deport all Jews 3. Antizionism - hatred for Jews because they have a state for themselves - they want to destroy Israel and kill or deport all Jews It’s all based on the age old Hatred of Jews

Its official: @MarkHalperin is a moron. It took until this past Tuesday to see that Mamdani is antisemitic. From now on you will see his face when you search for "sh** for brains."

Thanks for sharing your view. The rapidly rising tide of antisemitism in the U.S. has more jet fuel than a fully loaded 777.

How could Halperin ever have refused to see that before yesterday? Clear as day!! And essentially same language @NYCMayor has used about anything Israel related for years. A through and through anti Jewish hate filled man

What took you so long? It was pretty easy to see through @nycmayor. He’s a feckless manipulator.

Welcome to the party Mark. There is nothing Mamdani said yesterday that he has not said before.

Abdul is worse Mamdani Better to be realistic now than be proven you didn’t realize it in time

Very late aknowledgement. As soon as that disgraceful mayor and unclassifiable human being opens his mouth, there should be no doubt to any person with cognition about who he is, his intentions or what he stands for. Wake up NYC. Wake up America.

This hits hard. I think Mark shows the folly in solidarity as the supreme priority. Mark anticipates Mamdani will win re-election, though clearly if Mamdani were perceived in the same way as Mark perceives him now, he wouldn’t. A lot of people will be shaken awake. Everyone plays a different role.

I think self-hating Jews is the word you’re looking for, Mark.

Everything we needed to know was in his bio and remarks from his first day on the scene. The Jewish reluctance to accept reality absolutely helped his election, as the CNN poll said 33% of us voted for this anti-Semite and many Jews did not bother voting at all. Insane!

So glad you finally got there, Mark.
