I hope you heard me on the debate stage calling him out on that. Sure. Right. I want to be the mayor who ends the chaos, not globalize the intifada. Just yesterday, [Mamdani] was asked in an interview, do you disavow the phrase globalize the intifada? He said, nah, you know, no problems. It can mean anything to anybody. The phrase globalized intifada, does that make you uncomfortable? I know people for whom those things mean very different things. I was like, are you kidding me? (00:27–00:35)
