Korea Booker refuses to support Zahran Mamdani to the city of New York City – during the bombing of the “Police” movement

Senator Korea Booker (D-NJ) He refused to say whether to support the mayor of New York City mayor Zahran Mamdani in a recent interview and argued that supporters of the “Defund the Police” movement are “wrong”.

“Democratic leaders do not support (Mamdani). Is this a problem? Do you support him?” Senate member of the garden state was asked CNN Mano RajuIn an interview broadcast on Sunday.

Booker avoided directly to Raju’s question, instead, argues that “the lines that divide us in America are almost not as strong as the links that bind us.”

“The major companies, people want to keep our eyes on the screen, and they want to put us against each other and tell us how much we should hate each other. I’m sorry. The left left is not the right lens to look at this now,” continued. “Now is: Can we return to the practical work of the ruling?”

Raju tried to comment Booker and ask again: “Mamdani, will you support him?”

Al -Senator refused to support the Social Democratic candidate.

“I have learned a long time ago: Let the New York policy be the New York policy,” Booker answered. “We have faced enough challenges in Jersey. I got the ruling race. I support Mickey Sherrill. I got legislative races. This is where my energy will go to November.”

He added: “New York City, I love you. You are going.

Mamdani, An The explicit critic of Israel Who refused to condemn Semitic slogansThe country was shocked last month when he easily defeated former state governor Andrew Como and others in the preliminary elections of the Democratic Municipality of June in New York City.

However, a 33 -year -old member of the Empire Association has failed to secure approvals from the leaders of the main democratic state, including The leader of the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez (D-Ny), and the minority leader of the Senate Chuck Shomer (D-Ny).

Mamdani’s critics also refer to his previous support to calm the police, which Raju raised during his conversation with Booker.

“What we need is to be #Defundthenypd,” Tweet Mamdani in June 2020, accusing the New York Police is “racist, anti -wire and a great threat to public safety.”

Days later, Mamdani published that New York needed a “socialist city council to calm the police.”

“Are such phrases still a problem for your party?” Raju Booker asked.

“I think, again, I will talk about Jersey. Newark, New Jersey, the majority of a black city, five days after the incident of George Floyd, if I had surveyed my city and said:” Do you want more police, less than the police, or the same amount of police? Booker said that Newark would have voted with a overwhelming majority for more police.

“We do not want the police to violate the rights of the police. We do not want the police to endanger our lives, but we want safety and security as a basic basis for the Maslow pyramid. We want to have security in our society, and the police are part of that. An essential part of that equation,” the Senator continued.

“So anyone says” Defund The Police “is wrong, and inside the Democratic Party or within the nation, I will always fight it.”

Mamdani He walked his previous support to calm the police Last week in the wake of a Group fire In Manhattan, which left four dead, including a New York police officer.

“I am not running to calm the police,” he told reporters.

“My statements in 2020 became frustrated that many New York residents were detained in the killing of George Floyd,” Mamdani added.
