He's right Mamdani as the democratic candidate should clarify his comments better. Nothing to do with religion everyone knows what is meant by that statement when people say it. Fair or not this is something that will be used by his opponents to paint him negatively. Let's not pretend he's a lock for election in the general NYC voted in a conservative democrat last time and has voted republican for mayor in the past nothing should ever be taken for granted.
