New York City's mayoral race has become embroiled [7] in the national and global dilemmas, with progressive candidate Brad Lander [8] arrested by ICE [9] and progressive frontrunner Zohran Mamdani [10] being aggressively baited as an anti-Semite by the campaign [11] of the overall frontrunner, disgraced [12] former governor Andrew Cuomo. Joining Cuomo in this propaganda offensive, not surprisingly, is the pro-Israel doxxing operation Canary Mission [13]. In the current fraught atmosphere [14], this is a serious matter; Mamdani has received death threats [15] and his campaign is boosting security measures [16]. In Episode 283 of the CounterVortex podcast [17], Bill Weinberg examines the accusations [18] against Mamdani that have been hyped [19] by the New York Post [20] and even the supposedly more objective Politico [21], and weighs them against Mamdani's own responses [22].
