"He said: Mandami is a job-killing socialist, and he's not a Democrat, right? He shouldn't be in the Democratic Party. He's an admitted socialist. He should be in the Socialist Party. And as good of a campaign as he's run, I have very strong disagreements with his views, whether you're talking about government-run grocery stores, obviously his continued anti-Semitic rhetoric, refusal to condemn phrases like globalizing Intifada, which is a call for the killing of the Jewish people."
"We want you! he declared. He said: There's a few of us who've obviously been pretty public about it, and probably there's a lot of people who are concerned. But I'd make this point, if you live outside the metro area here in Jersey and New York and the area here, this is less of an issue that's front and center for you because you're focused on issues that matter to your district and your families, right?"
Rep. Josh Gottheimer sharply criticized Zohran Mamdani, calling him a job‑killing socialist who should belong to the Socialist Party rather than the Democratic Party. Gottheimer expressed strong disagreements with Mamdani's proposals, citing support for government‑run grocery stores and alleging continued anti‑Semitic rhetoric and a refusal to condemn phrases such as "globalizing Intifada." Gottheimer framed his position as favoring common‑sense Democrats and policies. Gottheimer also encouraged New Yorkers worried about Mamdani's potential election to consider relocating to New Jersey and emphasized priorities like lower taxes, support for cops, firefighters, veterans, and healthcare.
