Representative Ritchie Torres, DN.Y., Democratic New York Mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani’yi on Monday “Intifada globaliz” slogan detonated.

During the “CNN News Central” segment, the democratic politician argued how his call for “intifada” for many Jewish people was a threat of violence against his societies, and how he condemned Mamdani for refusing to condemn this language.

Torres told CNN presenter John Berman, “This is very disturbing. Every officer without exception should condemn him.” He said.

Mamdani, who practice the democratic socialist and Muslim who defines himself, recently won a crowded Democratic Party for the candidacy of the New York Mayor and former Gov. He defeated big names like Andrew Cuomo. Since he won, Mamdani has been a lightning bar for discussion due to avoiding the condemnation of economic policy proposals and the condemnation of anti -Israeli slogan.

On Sunday, NBC asked the host Kristen Welker Mamdani that he could not condemn the phrase “globalizing”. During the interview, the politician avoided directly condemnation.

“Do you condemn this statement ‘globalize in the intifada’?” Welker asked.

“This is not the language I use,” Mamdani replied. “The language I use and the language I will continue to use to lead this city, the language that is clearly speaking with my intention to believe in universal human rights.”

When asked again, “I do not believe that the role of the mayor is a police speech,” he said.

In other places, the candidate argued that condemning the expression was like a place like the president who wanted to do such things, put people in jail to write an OP-ED and imprisoned him for protest. “

When asked what he thought about Mamdani’s answers on Sunday, Torres did not retreat, and argued that the mayor who condemned such a discourse was not at the level of imprisoning people on a certain speech.

“I absolutely disagree. Nobody defends the imprisonment. So, every elected official has an obligation to condemn hatred, whether anti -Semitism or Islamophobia.” He said.
