Gillibrand apologizes to Mamdani over ‘jihad’ comments - POLITICO So I am glad Gillibrand apologized but she should really do so publicly, not privately, given her smear against him was done publicly, on live radio in fact.

If any other president had threatened to prosecute a mainstream media outlet for simply reporting the news, if he had called their very act of reporting ‘illegal’, it would have been the biggest story in America for weeks. But with Trump…crickets. Including from the media itself that’s under threat!

Calling Mamdani, a naturalized US citizen, an ‘illegal’ is the obvious escalation from Trump. He faces little pushback from top Dems. How come no one has asked him why Melania never held that press conference on her questionable immigration status which she promised to do 9 years ago - and didn’t?
