Radical congresswoman Rashida Tlaib has rallied supporters among the Democratic Socialists of America for Zohran Mamdani's mayoral campaign in New York City. During a virtual organizing call, Tlaib expressed a need for Mamdani to secure leftist allies to combat what she described as the Trump administration's "fascist regime" impacting local governance. With approximately 270 attendees, Tlaib emphasized the urgency of unification among progressive forces against rising authoritarianism, underscoring the stakes for freedom and speech in the current political climate. Notably, Tlaib, a member of the far-left "Squad," has a history of controversial statements regarding Israel and Hamas.
To all my comrades on the phone, I mean, online right now, I want you to know... we have to be united against what's happening here in Washington, DC - the fascist regime.
A lot of it is trickling down at the local government right now. I know Zohran, myself, and so many others are not, you know, we're not signing up for that.
