I unpacked the implications of Nick Fuentes' collaboration with Tucker Carlson and the former Fox News host's willingness to portray the white nationalist livestreamer as a victim.

If you had asked me in 2016 whether I thought I’d write a blog about the Heritage Foundation defending a former Fox News host after he hosted a friendly conversation with one of the country’s leading ...

Tennessee’s have already closed because TNGOP ineptitude. We’re bottom 10 of 50 states for longevity, maternal mortality, lots else. Don’t let them take this nationwide.
338 rural hospitals may have to reduce services or close altogether if the GOP manages to pass their Medicaid cuts in their Big (not)Beautiful Bill.

How many of them are in your state?

Is YOUR nearest hospital on the list?
Is a family member’s?

Unfortunately it’s not just RW media. Kristin Gillibrand was on Brian Leher’s show spewing basically the same BS as Charlie Kirk & Glenn Beck.

Bingo. Can't have a brown guy who wants poor people to have fresh veg and be able to get around town to go to work to get their money to pay stabilized rent.
That goes against the grain of every one of those people who went to Bezos wedding and everyone in Congress insider trading and taking bribes

The manufactured outrage has nothing to do with what Mamdani actually said. It has everything to do with the deep prejudices of the people feigning outrage.

‘Refused to disavow’ ‘won’t rule out’ ‘refused to confirm’. These are the red flags of poor journalism. They indicate a journalist more interested in the ‘gotcha’ moment than in eliciting meaningful comment. Works that include these phrases should be consigned to the garbage bin

And that was his point, right? That in Arabic, “intifada” means “struggle.” It doesn’t mean violent Islamic holy war or genocide against Jews. But that rather than focusing on what language is permissible, what’s important is addressing the real concerns of NY Jews.

That is literally what he said.

The Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was an “intifada”. But when Arabic and Muslims involved it must be a bad thing.

Both of you owe Zohran an apology and not any “I misspoke” BS. You let your prejudice blind you to what he actually said: policing language is trumpian and there’s inherent bias in the white interpretation of Arabic, esp when you’re Muslim

How can Muslims in NY feel safe when their senators both take millions of dollars from anti Muslim PACs with ties to violent extremism?

(To all, our take) Mamdani is being attacked not for what he said, but for what he represents. He named antisemitism, offered nuance, and defended free speech. That should be enough. But clarity from a brown Muslim gets spun as threat. If we can’t hold complexity, we’re feeding fear, not justice.

In case anyone missed this reply, I want to clarify that one brief interjection that I just have attributed with "A" is not Mamdani speaking
That transcript includes comments from a cohost that are not Mamdani speaking, so you have to be careful ascribing all of it to him. The "those are super different" came from the cohost on the bullwark, Cam. I'm glad Mamdani won though. youtu.be/FZoW47fyK30?...

I feel like I'm losing my mind. Here is the transcript of what Zohran Mamdani actually said about the phrase "globalize the intifada." This is his "refusal to disavow it." This is what has people terrified. Just fucking read it.

Nope, what happened is he was asked whether he’d ban it as a phrase (or something) and he said that Trump banned words, not him, he didn’t believe in it; that 10/7 was a war crime, but that intifada had different meanings to different people and meant ‘struggle’ literally… there was more but —-

One more time for those in the back:

“Intifada (Arabic: انتفاضة) is an Arabic word for a rebellion or uprising, or a resistance movement. It can also be used to refer to a civilian uprising against oppression.”

It’s not even a bad thing to say. Relax.

I’m choked up seeing this—it’s shameful.

Iranian refugees got snatched by “immigration agents” dressed like bounty hunters in West LA’s Sawtelle neighborhood.

We’re really about to send them back to a country we just bombed? A regime known for jailing, torturing, and killing its own people?

MAGA supposedly hates the "elites" and the "deep state."

But the oligarchs who own Trump are both.
