Mayor Zohran Mamdani charged Benjamin Nentayahu with genocide, said he is unwelcome in New York City, and called for his arrest. Two years ago, that would have been unimaginable. Going forward, it should be a litmus test.

    We can’t let mayors do that kind of shit though. You know how many yee-heil podunk mayors out there would start arresting every unauthorized tan?

      He’s the mayor for more people than several US governors are governors for

      Wyoming still hasn’t hit one million

      Also, those good ol’ boy, wannabe Boss Hogg mayors would do that anyway

      I’d say he’s free to express his opinion as he isn’t in charge of arresting him against the will of the admin. The MAGAs do this all the time or I did I get something wrong?

      To say someone isn’t welcome in your city is within the range of things a major should be allowed to do imho.
