Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner challenged the loyalty of Jewish politicians who support New York's Democratic mayoral candidate, Zohran Mamdani, arguing their stance raises questions about their Jewish faith. Marie Harf defended Mamdani, noting his actions against anti-Semitism, including a substantial increase in hate crime funding. Faulkner, however, remained skeptical, pointing to Mamdani's failure to explicitly voice support for Israel as a Jewish state and his controversial comments regarding pro-Palestinian slogans. The debate underscored tensions within political allegiances tied to religious identity.
Faulkner argued that endorsing a candidate who opposes Israel as a Jewish state raises questions about Jewish lawmakers' faith and commitments to their community.
Harf highlighted that Mamdani's significant push against anti-Semitism by increasing hate crime funding is a testament to his commitment, despite Faulkner's skepticism.
