During a heated discussion on CNN, former Rep. Jamaal Bowman and Marc Short debated the nuances of racism and political violence, particularly in the context of rhetoric directed at newly-elected Queens Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. Bowman pressed on the use of Mamdani's identity as a key attack point, focusing on racism, while Short acknowledged the rhetoric from both sides of the political spectrum. The conversation escalated as they exchanged views on recent violent threats against political figures, reflecting deep divisions in public discourse regarding acceptable political behavior and racism.
I think there’s performative artists on both sides in both sides of politics today, and as intolerable as some of the rhetoric is, the reality is that the last two assassination attempts on Donald Trump were from leftist.
Do you condemn it? Yeah. Sure. And I think there’s performative artists on both sides, but it seems like it's always focused on the right.
