Jewish actor Mandy Patinkin voiced support for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a video circulated on Instagram on Tuesday, calling Mamdani “a deeply thoughtful human being” who would be “the best NYC mayor imaginable,” adding that he and his family feel this “as New Yorkers” and “as Jews” who want “kindness, compassion and empathy” in politics

Such are not Jewish. More cosplay than anything else. Kinda like the guy inna Nazis death camp who enthusiastically works with the guards.

He was also in Yentl, a movie that didn’t age well, with Babs Streisand. Eeeeewwww.

I’m horrified.

I do not think Mamdani’s word “socialism” means what your think it means, Mandy.
