Congressional republicans have been spewing racist attacks on Mamdani for weeks and itâs almost never mentioned in our media. Not only that, the person leading the hate campaignâRandy Fineâis treated by the same media as a good faith expert on antisemitism. I wrote about this obscene double standard

Why is Mainstream Media Ignoring Overtly Racist Attacks on Mamdani from Congressional Republicans?
