An Open Letter

To: Sen. Gillibrand

From: A constituent in New York, NY

June 27

I recently heard you speak on WNYC. I am outraged by the fact that you chose to perpetuate racist misinformation in regards to the democratic nominee for Mayor in NYC. First, it’s ridiculous that you sidestepped the question of supporting the party nominee by saying you are an Albany voter and don’t want to get involved, and then went on to suggest that maybe it will be a “complicated” election and you could potentially support another candidate - two of which are corrupt! Then, instead of keeping your thoughts on Mamdani to yourself you chose to say he calls for mass murdering Jews worldwide. The definition of intifada is an uprising of oppressed people, NOT jihad or mass murder. You should know better! Standing up to the Trump regime in the US is intifada, boycotting Amazon and Tesla is intifada. Ukrainians fighting Putin is intifada. Palestinian people fighting for their lives is intifada. If you aren’t going to weigh in in an intelligent, thoughtful way please keep your mouth shut!
