Brad Lander Discusses NYC Mayoral Candidacy, Immigration, Anti-Semitism, and Housing

He just signed an executive order to change what the definition of anti Semitism is. Now, the next mayor could either uphold that or end that executive order. What would you do?

He's in the last months of his mayoralty and to try to stoke this up as an issue, I think is just trying to weaponize anti Semitism for his own political gain. Look, I love the vision of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state, but I am fiercely critical of its right wing government in many different ways. (05:15–05:28)
