California Democrats Outraged After DOJ Orders State to Block Votes from Noncitizens– slaynews.com

EXCERPT:

California’s Democrat leaders are outraged after the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) ordered the state to block votes being cast by noncitizens in upcoming elections.

The DOJ is seeking an emergency injunction against California after state officials rejected its demand to segregate ballots associated with approximately 20,000 registered voters that federal authorities have identified as “likely noncitizens.”

Attorney General Todd Blanche says the action aims to prevent noncitizens from voting in the upcoming election, pointing to California’s practice of automatically mailing ballots to every active registered voter.

California’s leaders are attacking the lawsuit, with Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom accusing the Trump administration of voter suppression and state election officials disputing the reliability of the federal findings.

The Article III Project, run by Trump ally Mike Davis, has plans to release a digital ad a day until the Nov. 3 election warning voters of a “red-green alliance” between communist and Islamic sympathizers taking over the Democratic Party.

The Department of Justice is suing the state of California and calling on 20,000 ballots to be frozen to determine whether U.S. citizens are behind the ballots.

Attorney General Todd Blanche announced, “State-facilitated voter fraud is unacceptable in the United States of America. If found responsible in a court of law, the State of California will have seriously undermined confidence in our electoral system and violated laws that protect our nation’s representative system of government.”

Washington — The Justice Department sued California on Thursday, alleging that the federal government has identified more than 20,000 noncitizens who are unlawfully registered to vote.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, came after Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter sent letters to counties earlier this week, including Los Angeles, ordering them to review a list of names of suspected noncitizens who he alleged received mail-in ballots for the upcoming midterm elections.

 

While polls continue to show Democrats to be the favorites to win the midterm elections, blue states are showing what progressive rule looks like. Religious liberty is being interpreted in blue states as only being a freedom to worship, not a freedom to outwardly, publicly live out your faith.

From Illinois to New York to California, laws are being passed that are forcing people of faith to participate in abortions, euthanasia, and affirm LGBTQ lifestyles. While “affordability” still appears to be the top issue in this election, “government trust” is a rising issue.

Blue States Are Redefining Religious Freedom– thefederalist.com

A dangerous theory is taking hold that religious freedom applies only to the right to worship.

Illinois’ assisted suicide law took effect in September. Cardinal Blase Cupich and Bishop Thomas Paprocki have both sued to keep the state from compelling Catholic hospitals and doctors to take part. A group of Muslim doctors similarly have sought protection from the state mandate. The state has yielded temporarily. In July, a federal judge shielded the Little Sisters of the Poor from New York’s version. The message from the state in each case is the same: you may care for the dying, but you must also be ready to help kill them.

The Supreme Court will hear oral argument on Nov. 3 in St. Mary Catholic Parish v. Roy. Colorado’s universal preschool program requires participating schools to agree to operate at odds with Catholic teaching on marriage and sexuality. Parishes in the archdiocese of Denver could not agree to state requirements, so the state shut them out of the preschool program paying $6,000 per eligible child, along with the families who wanted their children taught there. Colorado says it has no problem with the preschools being Catholic, it just doesn’t want them to operate as if they are.

Catholicism is just one example of a religion whose exercise does not end at the sanctuary door. Catholics pray at Mass and live that prayer in the works of mercy: feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, visiting the sick, burying the dead, and instructing the ignorant. Faith asks to be lived coherently, in belief and in service to one another. Jews, Muslims, and Protestants would recognize the pattern in their own traditions. No one is free if he must split himself into a Sunday self and a Monday self, and no community is free that must do the same.

Krasner said that Lewis had been out of custody “because a balanced, good, and fair judge did what he had to do.”

A scheduled press conference in which Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner was set to talk about the criminal history of a suspect charged with killing one officer and injuring another in a shooting was canceled and Krasner instead released a video. Krasner said the judge in a prior case “did what he had to do” because of misconduct in the case, leading to the suspect being acquitted.

Per Fox News’ CB Cotton, the press conference had been scheduled to take place at 11 am, and in its place, a news release was issued. Krasner had been set to talk about Eric Lewis, who has been charged in the weekend ambush shooting of two police officers. Lewis, a city employee, has been charged with murder and attempted murder in connection with an ambush shooting that took place over the weekend. Officer Shane Seiber was killed in the shooting. Lewis allegedly told authorities that he shot the two cops because they were white.

The press release stated that Krasner’s office was “aware of several reports of 911 calls and other potential complaints of violence (including domestic violence) involving this defendant.” Krasner said Lewis had been charged in 2019 with murder, aggravated assault, and other offenses in relation to a “road rage” double shooting.

Krasner said in a video alongside the press release that Lewis had been out of custody “because a balanced, good, and fair judge did what he had to do. Because two absolutely excellent prosecutors did everything humanly possible with a case and an investigation that was so deeply flawed, it was not just full of errors and mistakes—very serious ones, but some of the conduct involving one police officer and one detective is arguably criminal.”

Former Special Counsel Jack Smith seized the personal information of at least 639,000 Republican voters, donors, and supporters as part of his Arctic Frost lawfare against Donald Trump, according to newly reviewed federal whistleblower disclosures.

“This update shows that Jack Smith and the Biden Justice Department collected incredibly invasive donor data — and voter data — beyond what could conceivably be necessary for Smith or his team to fulfill the Special Counsel’s mandate. The new findings further corroborate that Smith and his partisan team aimed to map out the entire Republican Party apparatus,” said Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa.

Grassley revealed the bombshell discovery in a memo sent to his Senate Judiciary colleagues on Wednesday. In addition to recapping some of his staff’s findings on Smith’s intrusive inquiry thus far, the Iowa Republican noted that newly reviewed subpoenas issued by Smith’s team show how the special counsel’s lawfare was more expansive than originally thought.

According to Grassley, Smith’s team and the Biden Justice Department “obtained spreadsheets containing Republican campaign donors, supporters, and detailed personal voter information in various formats, totaling over 639,000 individuals, at minimum.” “Out of those,” the chairman wrote, “over 148,000 rows are identified in the spreadsheets as donors.”

The type of data Smith and Co. acquired as a result of these spreadsheets was vast. Not only did they purportedly obtain these Republicans’ names, addresses, and dates of birth, but also their email addresses, occupations and employers, congressional and state legislative districts, and whether they’re officially registered as Republicans. Information on how much these Republicans donated, their credit card information (“including last four digits of credit card numbers”), and “donor analysis data (such as one-time versus recurring donations and the amount of the donation)” was also acquired.

(LifeSiteNews) – Leftists at Harvard University are pushing back against the institution’s efforts to hire conservative professors to increase viewpoint diversity among the faculty of the infamously left-wing school.

Back in April, the Harvard Crimson reported that the university has been soliciting donors for a $10 million endowment for dozens of new professorships to be filled by conservatives across various departments. The effort was said to be spearheaded by Harvard Provost John F. Manning, a conservative legal scholar.

Now, the Washington Times reports that the plan has been facing resistance from liberal professors and teachers, who comprise 69 percent of the faculty. Forty-seven percent faculty members said they were opposed to the plan and 31 percent supported it, according to a survey.

“The answer is not partisan quotas, but a credible commitment to intellectual openness and hiring excellent scholars across a genuinely broad range of perspectives,” claimed political scientist Daniel Schatz. 

“Even supposing that [silencing] takes place, how would the hiring of conservative faculty act as a countervailing force? Surely such hiring may inhibit viewpoint diversity rather than nurture it,” argued Harvard graduate Dominique Padurano, founder and president of college counseling company Crimson Coaching.

Hadyn James Dollery, who goes by “Sophie,” was convicted on four of five counts.

A trans-identified male former substitute teacher in Loudoun County, Virginia has been convicted of making death threats and threatening to go on a “murder spree” at a local high school. In total, Hadyn James Dollery, who goes by “Sophie,” was convicted on four of five counts.

Dollery had been arrested in April and indicted on three counts of threatening to injure or kill a person, one count of making threats on school grounds, and one count of threatening to damage a building. Dollery had worked as a substitute teacher at Eagle Ridge Middle School.

The jury of seven men and five women began deliberating on Thursday, and on Friday evening found Dollery guilty of two counts of threatening to injure or kill a person, one count of making threats on school grounds, and one count of threatening to damage a building, and not guilty on the third charge of threatening, per Loudoun Now.

In opening statements, Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Dircia Schubert said that Dollery, who goes by “Cotton Candy” on Discord, had made the threatening statements the day after one of the victims broke up with him. He messaged his ex-boyfriend on Discord at 1:49 am on April 15. Dollery had threatened to kill the ex, members of both his and the ex’s families, undertake a “murder spree at your school,” and cannibalize one of the victims after killing them. Dollery had also sent a message to his ex saying he wanted him to return a shirt “if I’m deemed fit to work after this sh*t I’m about to do.”

EXCERPT:

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and City Council Speaker Julie Menin reached an agreement on a measure to ban horse-drawn carriage operations in the city. This ends a tradition stretching back more than 150 years.

Mamdani and Menin reached the agreement on Tuesday and will enact Romanch’s Law. The bill is named after 18-year-old tourist Romanch Mahajan, who died in June after a carriage horse bolted and overturned the vehicle in Central Park. It was the first carriage fatality in the industry’s history.

The Council will vote on the measure on October 22, with 29 of 51 members co-sponsoring. Menin predicted a veto-proof majority.

From The Guardian:

Mamdani has agreed to back a bill supported by Julie Menin, the speaker of the New York city council, that would make it illegal to operate horse-drawn carriages beginning in June 2028, Politico reported on Tuesday. The city council is expected to vote on the legislation next week.

“The horse carriage industry is coming to an end in New York City. Our administration will make sure workers and owners are protected and the horses are safe,” Mamdani wrote on X on Tuesday.

A person familiar with the mayor’s office confirmed a deal had been struck.

While horse-drawn carriage rides are ubiquitous in Central Park, animal rights activists have long expressed concern over the treatment of horses. Multiple horses have died since 2020, occasionally collapsing in the middle of carriage rides.

The push for a ban increased over the summer after an 18-year-old tourist, Romanch Mahajan, died after being thrown from a carriage.

In a statement, Menin said horse-drawn carriages had “become a growing public safety liability”.

“We can honor our city’s traditions while recognizing when it’s time to move forward in the interest of public safety, protecting workers, and strengthening our city’s economic vitality,” Menin said.

New York authorities have refused more than 16,000 federal immigration detainer requests involving illegal immigrants accused or convicted of crimes, including homicide, kidnapping and sexual offenses, according to newly released Department of Homeland Security data.

The figures, reported Monday by the New York Post, show that municipalities across the Democrat-led state have declined to honor 16,070 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainers since President Donald Trump returned to office in January 2025.

According to DHS, the individuals associated with those requests have accumulated 52,503 criminal charges or convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings and 1,017 sexual offenses.

The figures have renewed scrutiny of New York’s sanctuary policies, which restrict cooperation between local law enforcement and federal immigration authorities.

ICE detainers request that local authorities temporarily hold individuals suspected of immigration violations so federal agents can take them into custody. Sanctuary jurisdictions frequently decline those requests unless specific legal conditions are met.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin criticized Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani for policies he said undermine federal immigration enforcement and threaten public safety.

“We enforce these laws with no help from Mayor Mamdani and Governor Hochul,” Mullin told the New York Post.

Fewer than ten lay Catholics courageously showed up to pray the Holy Rosary in reparation for an annual LGBT “pride” festival and parade in downtown Altoona for the second year in a row last week, persevering despite being mocked, screamed at, and even provocatively danced at by a “drag queen.”

On Friday, October 9, the small group of just seven brave faithful from across the great state of Pennsylvania, and one from the lesser state of Maryland, recited the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary in reparation for sins committed during the blasphemous pro-LGBT event and indeed by the entire alphabet movement.

As they implored the intercession of the Blessed Mother (and even before they began), several angry (and likely demonically afflicted) LGBTers came up to harass, scream, wave rainbow flags at, and mockingly join them in prayer. A “drag queen” also stopped by to “twerk” at them while they were praying.

Attacks from parade/festival attendees

The third annual Altoona Pride Parade & Festival was organized by the Blair County Inclusion Alliance in partnership with Penn State Altoona (And this alumnus is embarrassed for them), to coincide with the leftist “National Coming Out Day.”

The demonic event drew a noticeably smaller but more vicious crowd than last year, with there appearing to be only about 200 in attendance – and that’s rounding up – including dozens of young children, a few more “drag queens,” but only one “furry” that I spotted compared to about a handful last year.

Socialist group prevails in legal battle, seizes lucrative retirement account from professor’s nephews

A national socialist group successfully seized a $6.6 million retirement account from the four nephews of a deceased professor.

Professor David Greenberg died in 2024, setting off a legal battle over his estate, valued at nearly $10 million. The New York University professor had no will, but previously listed the “New American Movement” as the beneficiary of his school retirement plan.

That group later merged with the Democratic Socialists of America, of which Greenberg was also a dues paying member.

The DSA recently won a court battle against Greenberg’s four nephews for the lion’s share of his estate, a $6.6 million retirement account.

National co-chair Ashik Siddique addressed criticism last month over the group’s lawsuit against Greenberg’s family.

“We don’t see any contradiction between being socialists and organizing to have money in a capitalist society,” Siddique said,” according to the New York Times. “The more the better,” he said, “as long as it is meaningfully supporting the decisions that our members make together.”

Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar’s past remarks about the rule of law are coming back to haunt her after federal agents raided her Washington, D.C., home Monday morning, triggering a wave of backlash from Republicans who were quick to remind the congresswoman of her own words.

EXCERPT:

On October 7, 2026, New York mayor and Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani made a statement that began with lip-service condemnation of Hamas.  “This day is profoundly painful for so many New Yorkers.  It marks three years since the horrific war crimes of October 7.  On that day, Hamas killed more than 1,100 Israelis and abducted 251 others.  We grieve alongside our many friends and neighbors who still carry that unthinkable loss.”

There is, however, an adage that says that the word “but,” or its equivalent, negates everything that comes before it.  As George W. Bush put it after Sep. 11, 2001, you are either with us or with the terrorists.  After Dec. 7, 1941, you were either with the civilized world or you were with the Nazis and Imperial Japanese.  You didn’t get to say, “I condemn Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor, but…” and then make implied excuses for Japan’s conduct.  It is similarly clear to me where somebody who says, “I condemn Hamas’s actions, but Israel commits genocide, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing” really stands.  Mamdani went on to justify Hamas’s actions by falsely accusing Israel of apartheid and saying the suffering did not begin on Oct. 7, 2023 (an implication that Israel had it coming).

 

The suffering did not begin nor end that day. It instead continued through the Israeli government’s devastating, ongoing genocide in Gaza, in which it has killed more than 74,000 Palestinians — including more than 21,000 children. Even since the so-called ceasefire, more than 1,400 Palestinians have been killed. That suffering has intensified with every Israeli bomb dropped on ambulances waiting outside hospitals, every drone strike targeting a residential building or journalist, and every shipment of food aid turned away at a border crossing. Many New Yorkers are reckoning with this unbearable grief, and we mourn alongside them — all while knowing that our tax dollars fund these war crimes.

The Unknown Donor Axis Behind the Radical Left’s Rise to Power– gellerreport.com

EXCERPT:

In past elections, big donors to progressives were generally older, wealthy hippies or successful Hollywood players. Now, our analysis of campaign filings shows a crew of virtually unknown donors stepping in to fund the far left. The emerging group skews younger, is often South Asian or Middle Eastern, and works in fields such as technology and medicine. Many had never given to politics before last year, but they are now donating as much as $1 million each to fund progressive candidates and a new “anti-Aipac” super PAC, reports the Wall Street Journal. One of the major financial players in this election jihad is the contemptuously named American Priorities – more accurate would be “American Subversion.”

Key points (based on The Wall Street Journal investigation, October 10, 2026):

– A new class of wealthy political donors is financing progressive candidates. Some had little or no recorded political giving before 2025 but are now contributing hundreds of thousands — even millions — of dollars.

– An anti-AIPAC super PAC is emerging as a major financial force. American Priorities is directing substantial funding toward progressive candidates critical of Israel and seeking to counter the influence of pro-Israel political spending.

– Abdul El-Sayed is a major beneficiary. American Priorities spent more than $500,000 supporting his Michigan Senate campaign.

WHO PICKS YOUR TOWN? Inside the Soros-Backed Push to Choose Where Migrants Settle

A Washington think tank has drawn up a county-by-county migration shortlist—and wants private entities to sponsor arrivals directly.

By: Natalie Winter, October 12, 2026:

“enable local governments and private entities to sponsor immigrants directly”

That is what the Niskanen Center, a Washington think tank whose immigration program receives Soros-foundation backing, wants policymakers to do. The instruction appears in its November 2025 immigration blueprint.

Two weeks later, Niskanen published a county-by-county migration index, identifying hundreds of American communities as potential destinations for newcomers. Its proposed applications include planning where refugees and asylum seekers could settle.

The complete published community list appears at the end of this article, organized by state. Check whether your county is on it.

The agenda reaches straight into the question of who gets to shape your town: which places should receive newcomers, which private actors should help sponsor them, and how arrivals could be encouraged to stay.

Minnesota Republicans held their annual Lincoln-Reagan Dinner in Eagan on Friday.

Among the people in attendance were Senate candidate Michelle Tafoya, Minnesota House Speaker and gubernatorial candidate Lisa Demuth, and former Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, who was a featured speaker.

Demuth was speaking at the dinner when leftist activists disrupted the event.

One of them was holding a banner that said “RepubliKKKan Party,” and she started screaming as the security tried to remove her and a male activist from the room.

So if you wondered how they got in, according to Lindsey Brown of KSTP, one of her sources said they bought tickets that cost $200-250 each.

How gross, and frankly, despicable. What gall to wave such a sign around, not only at a “Lincoln-Reagan” dinner, but to wave it at Demuth, who is black and who is the first black person to be a party nominee for governor in the state.

Minnesota GOP Chair Alex Plechash blasted the protesters Saturday in a statement for using “a symbol of racial terror at a Black woman leader, at a dinner named for the president who ended slavery.”

Plechash said the symbols “still have no place anywhere, least of all aimed at a Black woman seeking the highest office in our state.”

Eagan police said officers told eight people to leave. It’s not clear whether any criminal charges will be pursued.

Minnesota House GOP Leader Harry Niska commented on the disruption: “This kind of action is despicable, and it’s turning into a pattern of hateful rhetoric and disruption from extreme far-left Democrats.”

Fortunately, no one was hurt in the chaos, and the Republicans carried on despite the temporary disruption.

The good news? If each of the eight people who were asked to leave paid at least $200, that’s a $1,600 contribution to the Republicans. Thanks, you leftists! Hopefully, it’s put to good use to defeat Democrats in November.

Editor’s Note: The 2026 Midterms will determine the fate of President Trump’s America First agenda. Republicans must maintain control of both chambers of Congress.

Mamdani’s Political Rise Energizes Donors Funding Anti-Israel Candidates– legalinsurrection.com
News Source
EXCERPT:

 

A Wall Street Journal investigation revealed the donors who have been dumping money into campaigns for socialists and progressives through American Priorities, the anti-Israel super PAC.

These socialists hate America, hate Jews, and hate capitalism. (We all know they don’t actually hate capitalism because they indulge in it all the time.)

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s victory likely boosted confidence and pushed these donors to support more socialist candidates. Five of the top 12 donors contributed to Mamdani.

The new group of donors is younger, mostly of South Asian or Middle Eastern heritage. They work in technology and medicine:

Sathvik Kaliyur, CEO of a fundraising firm called NWF Strategies whose clients have included Mamdani and [Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul] El-Sayed, said his goal is to make it easier for candidates who don’t come from money to run for office.

Many of the biggest checks are going to a super PAC that aims to be an “anti-Aipac” force, called American Priorities.

American Priorities has used its funds to support progressives who criticize Israel, including more than $1 million to help elect Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, two DSA-backed candidates who won New York congressional primaries. The ads themselves didn’t mention Israel or the Palestinian territories as an issue: Instead, they stressed affordability and that the two women were “Mamdani-endorsed.”

One of the group’s funders, Texas entrepreneur Sam Mahrouq, said he supports efforts that “encourage a balanced American foreign policy and oppose corruption, discrimination, endless wars and excessive special-interest influence.”

There isn’t much information about the top two donors. CNN wrote this in July:

The super PAC’s top donors, at $1 million apiece, have been Omer Hassan and Mohammad Waqas Javed. Little is publicly known about them, and the information they have provided the FEC is minimal: Waqas identifies as a resident of New York City and the CEO of Showcase Commerce Inc. – a company with little public footprint – while Hassan identifies as a retiree from Redwood City, California.

Both were also top donors to a super PAC that supported Mamdani’s 2025 mayoral campaign, giving about $250,000 each.

Neither donor responded to requests for comment. But a person close to American Priorities, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss its donors, said many of its contributors weren’t very politically active until Mamdani’s campaign, which was the “moment that inspired them and brought them into the fold.” Emboldened by Mamdani’s win, they began strategizing about how to influence the party nationally on the issue of Palestinian human rights.

“Part of it’s Palestine, part of it’s countering AIPAC, but it’s also about giving a long-overlooked community, which is critical to any Democratic majority, a real voice in our politics,” the person added.

So it’s 50% about “Palestine” and 50% anti-AIPAC, but also another community.

Dude. You cannot go over 100%. Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud.

The other top donors to American Priorities, the anti-AIPAC super PAC:

American Priorities has no plans to go away. The super PAC has already targeted nine House seats in 2028.

But seeing the explosion of socialists and progressives winning primaries led the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) to raise more money.

George Soros-Funded Fake News Op Courier Newsroom Is Wreaking Midterm Havoc– www.newsbusters.org

EXCERPT:

The George Soros regime is kicking into high-gear to pepper the airwaves with fake news to swing the midterm election to Democrats.

Courier Newsroom — a lefty fake news collective funded by Soros to the tune of at least $20 million — has been seeping into the messaging of a litany of campaign ads used by Democrat “candidates and political action committees,” according to a new report by the censorial NewsGuard, which apparently discovered that leftist disinformation operations was actually a thing.

This week, the outfit reportedly “identified seven video ads for key races in Iowa, Ohio, and Alabama featuring on-screen citations of” what it dubs as “pink slime websites.” Courier became particularly notorious for spreading mass amounts of false information in past elections to manipulate voters at the behest of its rabid, anti-Trump founder and Democrat strategist Tara McGowan….

Recently, NewsGuard exposed Courier Newsroom exploiting TikTok as one of its primary vehicles to sway voters. Specifically,  NewsGuard found that “Across 21 TikTok accounts — one for each state that Courier covers, plus a nationally focused account — Courier has generated an audience of 4.3 million followers and has collectively received 665.5 million likes on its videos.” Its national account boasts 3.7 million followers, which is a significantly higher following “than @washingtonpost’s 2.1 million and almost as many as @nytimes’s 3.9 million.”

Anti-ICE protestors attacked federal agents and tried to box in their vehicles in Salem, Oregon, on Saturday.

The clash occurred Saturday morning in the parking lot near a Walgreens on Lancaster Drive NE.

An anti-ICE ‘rapid responder’ livestreamed the attack on federal agents on Facebook.

Federal agents deployed tear gas, pepperballs, and other nonlethal munitions to disperse the crowd.

Masked agitators who may be affiliated with Antifa, a designated terrorist organization, used their cars to try to box in agents.

Federal agents rammed their vehicles in order to safely leave the parking lot.

At one point, a man used a baseball bat to bash one of the federal vehicles.

Pro-Palestinian protesters showed their outrage at Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani after he made an appearance at the Israelis for Peace vigil in Union Square.

The activists screamed at Mamdani that he was a traitor in videos captured by bystanders as the mayor left with his entourage and security.

‘There’s no mutual understanding when you’re killing our children, our family members.’

“You opportunist piece of s**t!” one woman yelled.

Mamdani appears stone-faced and angry halfway through the video.

“Mamdani, you can’t hide! We charge you with genocide!” they chanted in another part of the video.

The Muslim mayor has been accused of having ties to pro-terrorist groups, but the protesters were apparently upset that he didn’t do enough to oppose Israel.

The event was held on Oct. 7, the anniversary of the horrific terrorist attack on southern Israel by Palestinian terrorists. Israel retaliated with a devastating military campaign intended to wipe out the terrorist threat.

Protesters chanted and made as much noise as possible for about an hour in order to interrupt the vigil.

Others yelled, “Allahu Akbar!” in another video from the event. One protester holds up a sign reading, “Bomb ‘Israel’ bye!”
