While antisemitic hate crimes surge across New York City

[00:00:00]This is a new statement from Mamdani in announcing his budget. He took a question on hate crimes and he said this.

[00:00:07]We want to also do the work of preventing those hate crimes. And as we've seen that Jewish New Yorkers constitute a minority of New Yorkers across the five boroughs and yet constitute a majority of New Yorkers who face hate crimes in this city. And the work we want to do is not just going to be responsive, but preventive. And this will also be done alongside the work of the mayor's office to combat antisemitism. Make you feel any better?

[00:00:34]Not at all. He's a liar. You know what?

[00:00:36]Word salad. That's what he gave you. He gave you just a bunch of words, put it all together to shut everybody up so he could say that he said something. It means nothing. Actions Oren. Actions speak louder than words. Get out in the street and get behind a microphone. Go to these neighborhoods and apologize to the Jewish people. You won't do that though, because you will not condemn Palestine. You will not condemn this You won't condemn any of this. So let me just stay on point. This is really a problem. I want to hear from my city council speaker. I want to hear from the mayor of this city. The people deserve a mayor that is going to work for them.
