NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubles down on bizarre refusal to sign resolution condemning Holocaust
[NYP] NYC Socialist mayoral wannabe Zohran Mamdani continued to offer a bizarre excuse Saturday about why he refused to sign a resolution denouncing the Holocaust, and blew off questions about skipping out on a separate resolution celebrating Israel’s 77th anniversary.The pro-Palestine state Assemblyman from Queens parroted his staff’s response after the firestorm of criticism, insisting he didn’t sign the Holocaust resolution because he’s not co-sponsoring any resolutions in this year’s legislative session. "This year at the beginning of the year, I told my staff that we would not co-sponsor any resolutions that came into our Assembly office, and that has nothing to do with the substance of the resolution. I’m proud to be a supporter of that resolution," the embattled lawmaker said leaving a mayoral candidate forum hosted by the United Federation of Teachers in Midtown.
