Non-Jewish Fox News anchor says she ‘100%’ questions faith of Jewish lawmakers who endorse NYC’s Mamdani

 

Fox News anchor Harris Faulkner said she “100 percent” questioned Jewish politicians’ “commitment to Judaism” if they endorsed progressive New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, all while her co-host Emily Compagno accused Mamdani of not condemning the Holocaust or speaking out on antisemitism.

Meanwhile, the remarks from Faulkner – who herself is not Jewish, though her husband is – sparked pushback from liberal Fox News pundit Marie Harf, prompting the daytime anchor to double down on policing the religious devotion of Jewish Democrats.

“The same way I would question Chuck Schumer, who works against the interests of his own people at times for the politics,” she exclaimed, adding: “And that’s what they’re doing here.”

Since his upset victory in the Democratic primary last week, Mamdani – a 33-year-old democratic socialist who energized young voters with his campaign focused on affordability – has been the target of Islamophobic attacks from conservatives due to his Muslim faith.

President Donald Trump has suggested that he would defund New York City if Mamdani is elected, all while claiming “New York City has fallen” and falsely labeling him a “communist.”

First, Mamdani is no devoute Muslim. He is campaigning on gay rights and pushing the "Pride" agenda. That would get him killed in Gaza but like Queers for Palestine, he just doesn't get that. Plus he knows that going into a Mosque and shouting "Kill the Jews!" will get him the support he needs despite forsaking his religion.
Second, remember this: Just because our Jewish agenda is important to us does not mean it's important to most Jews. In the West, most Jews are Accidental Jews(tm). They happened to be born as Jews but it's not a part of their identity. They're liberal and naive and think that socialism is great so they'll support the socialist candidate even if he shouts "Death to the Jews!" because they think he only means the Jews that care about Judaism, not them.
