Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin brushed off concerns from Jewish Democrats on Wednesday about New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the slogan “globalize the intifada.”
Martin, elected to lead the DNC in February, suggested that his party welcomes users of the chant associated with violent uprisings against Israel, in an interview with PBS.
“You know, there’s no candidate in this party that I agree 100% of the time with, to be honest with you,” Martin said, when asked by “PBS NewsHour” host Amna Nawaz about Mamdani’s repeated defense of the rallying cry for anti-Israel protesters.
“There’s things that I don’t agree with Mamdani that he said, but at the end of the day, I always believe, as a Democratic Party chair in Minnesota for the last 14 years and now the chair of the DNC, that you win through addition, you win by bringing people into your coalition,” he continued. “We have conservative Democrats, we have centrist Democrats, we have labor progressives like me and we have this new brand of Democrat, which is the leftists, and we win by bringing people into that coalition.”
“At the end of the day, for me, that’s the type of party we’re going to lead. We are a big tent party.”
Mamdani, an outspoken critic of Israel, has both awkwardly defended activists’ use of “globalize the intifada” and has flat-out refused to condemn it on several occasions.
The Queens assemblyman described the chant as an adage that reflects the “desperate desire for equality and equal rights in standing up for Palestinian human rights,” in an interview with the Bulwark last month that went viral.
Mamdani later repeatedly refused to condemn the slogan, viewed by some as a call for violence against Jews, in an interview on NBC’s...

It better be a REALLY big tent, as some groups in the tent want to kill other groups.
Name me ONE conservative Democrat on the national stage.
Something tells me that if I applied for entrance to this Coaliton, they’d close the door and lock it.
Hamas, Hezbollah, hell even ISIS and Al Qaeda.... all are welcome because we are the Big Tent Party! And I’m not even mentioning the communists and the out-and-out racists and anarchists of BLM and Antifa.
This writes and reads just like the Bee.
What he is saying here is that he is an Israeli before he is an American. It’s a shame his feet don’t follow his heart.
You never miss an opportunity to be flat wrong.
Plausibly anti-Semitic.
Certainly John Fetterman seems to be edging in that direction. Which is why most of his party is disowning him.
Down to only 54% plausibly anti-Semitic posts?
Did you take my advice regarding philately?
You are just wildly Jew obsessed. I’m kinda Jewish, and I don’t think about Jews or Judaism or Israel near as much as you.
You’re a certifiable wackadoo.
Can you get the mods to use that tool to highlight all of my old posts again?
I kind of liked the extra attention.
Yes. Big enough to include the ku klux klan, enslavers, infanticiders, drug pushers, illegal immigrants, election cheats, criminals, et al.
The Dem leadership are not going to try to get Mamdani to back down just to appease a few old farts.
It's not about keeping young Democrats away from the Republicans, it's about keeping them in the system.
Yep, the ‘big tent’:
- Feminists
- Gays
- Trans
- Lesbians
- Jews
- MUSLIMS
How’s that going to work? It’s like two brain cells competing with each other.
...with no principles whatsoever.

“...When I was a kid (’50s-’60s), the Democratic Party was 1) Union-based, which in most areas meant tradesmen (not brainless public-school teachers)...”
Yep. Both my parents were die-hard democrats back in that era. They both finally got to where they could retire in the early ‘80s. Wasn’t too long after that, when then democratic Senator Joe Biden sponsored and pushed thru the legislation to tax Social Security benefits that continue to hamper the elderly to this very day. (we got the house, senate and the POTUS and STILL can’t shed Biden’s SS tax and/or Odongo’s so-called healthcare). Anyway, Biden rammed it thru and got it passed. IIRC, it was signed into law by a Republican POTUS? My dad just couldn’t believe it! He ended up having to go back into the work force to try and make ends meet. They didn’t have much to begin with raising 6 kids back then. Both of em canned the democratic party forever after that. Me? I never cared for either party myself, but I NEVER vote RAT ever...even back then because of what they did to my parents.
Somewhat like the 1930’s. Hitler was acceptable to many Brits and German industrialists because they liked many of his policies - and that obsession about the Jews, well, that was just a little idiosyncracy. And they thought they could control him.
