“Look, this is a 911 moment for the Democratic Party, in the sense that he’s an antisemitic socialist” (thehill.com)

first few paragraphs

spoilerPollster 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.

Penn claimed the “primary system has been hijacked” in the 2025 mayoral race

Crying that an election was "hijacked" because they lost lmao. Indistinguishable from Trump chuds in 2020.

"primary system has been hijacked" is even more rich when talking about the Democrats who haven't had a legitimate presidential primary in like eighteen years

Me, the owner of the casino, claiming that the games I rigged in my favor have been hijacked because I may have to give a big pay out to a gambler.

Since he's calling this Dems' "9/11" we should assume this is just an islamophobic reference to it.
