"Fox News's Kayleigh McEnany went off on Democratic New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani on Thursday for refusing to directly say Hamas should disarm in an interview on the network the day prior. McEnany addressed Mamdani's interview on Outnumbered, where she declared the self-described Democratic socialist should be disqualified from polite society for his answer on whether Hamas should disarm amid a ceasefire agreement with Israel."
"McEnany argued Mamdani saying he doesn't have opinions about the future of Hamas was a disqualifying statement. She went on to note some of the horrific conditions hostages of Hamas faced in Gaza, as well as children killed by Hamas on Oct. 7. She said: Let us meet Rom Breslavski. Rom Breslavski, his mom said that he was kept by the bodies of hostages in a room, violently beaten, tortured, denied basic hygiene, and then force-fed before he was sent home."
"MAMDANI: I don't really have opinions about the future of Hamas and Israel beyond the question of justice and safety, and the fact that anything has to abide by international law. And that applies to Hamas, that applies to the Israeli military, applies to anyone you could ask me about."
Kayleigh McEnany criticized Zohran Mamdani for refusing to explicitly say that Hamas should disarm during a Fox News interview. McEnany called Mamdani's answer disqualifying and cited graphic examples of hostage abuse and children killed on Oct. 7 to underscore her point. Martha MacCallum repeatedly asked whether Hamas should lay down its weapons and relinquish leadership in Gaza. Mamdani emphasized justice, safety, affordability in New York City, and adherence to international law rather than directly endorsing Hamas disarmament, stating that legal standards apply both to Hamas and to the Israeli military.
