A Muslim voted in to run New York City and we also have a felon running our country.

Important Context Regarding Dual Citizens in Government:

No Prohibition:The U.S. Constitution does not prohibit dual citizens from serving in Congress or the Judiciary, provided they meet age and residency requirements.

Allegiance:U.S. law allows dual nationality and does not require citizens to choose, but naturalized citizens often retain original citizenship unless they formally renounce it.

“Should be” See what I did there?

The drafters of that document didn’t foresee modern leftist white guilt and its desire to forfeit the country. If ever there were a need for a constitutional amendment, it’s now.
Race rhetoric, nope. Religion rhetoric, absolutely. Islam and modern western civilizations are incompatible. There’s a bunch of Islamic countries in the world they could reside in but, for obvious reasons, they’d rather not live there. It’s not much different than the current exodus from deep blue states to places like Texas and Florida. Their ideals wrecked their own states now they’re fleeing like rats on a sinking ship.

Look at Iran, Lebanon, etc. to see how inviting incompatible cultures to your own country can work out. Unable to forward think and conclude what could happen if current trends continue.

It’s really a great idea, have the taxpayer support incompatible cultures to immigrate, so they can provide their 3rd world views, that have never worked to the success of the people, in government and beyond.

What a winning formula.
You don’t think that Melania said and did stupid things in her teens and early twenties. The only difference is that the internet was not around to record everything you do and say in perpetuity Originally Posted by txdot-guy
Nice to see you support racism when it suits you.

All you’ve done is deflect and justify Mamdani’s wife’s post using a racial slur. You could have simply said “that was wrong and I don’t support that”.

A bridge too far…..

Just like a number of men were vilified because their past behavior was considered too egregious during the height of the MeToo movement. (Take Al Franken for example). Someone’s past internet history needs to be forgiven or possibly forgotten unless it’s also their current behavior.

The right wing conservatives out there want to make this a thing instead of seeing it for what it is. A regrettable mistake that a young woman made on social media.

Get over it.

Overkill? I’d call it stupidity.

And hypocritical.

For a Mega to make this accusation is just wild. Anyone who voted for the felon to run our country has no business talking about anyone else's perceived racism.
In my opinion, most New Yorkers just want to be able to stay in NY

Noted.

The double standard is beyond belief.

You seem to want to turn this into some kind of tit for tat thing but that’s a bullshit argument. It seems to me that your efforts are nothing more than an opportunity to insult and discredit Mamdani and his wife over a few indiscreet comments and “likes” on social media from when she was a teenager.

As far as I am concerned that just makes you a bully and a troll. An anonymous one at that.

To my knowledge, she hasn't done that. So it's perfectly appropriate for the public to assume she still applauds the October 7th Hamas massacre (which occurred when she was 24, hardly a teenager) and thinks it's ok to use the n-word freely on social media.

Why do you insist the public (not just conservatives) should "get over it" - when the woman herself won't put this behind her by apologizing and disowning it?

I’m not defending her specifically I’m trying to put this incident into perspective. Ginning up hard feelings around this issue does nothing but cause people’s anger to escalate over a minor incident. It’s to everyone’s best interest to just let this go.

As far as producing an apology or statement I would bet that her husband has advised her not to answer questions about it.
