SCOTT JENNINGS: Why are Democrats more committed to demonizing law enforcement than in defending you, law-abiding citizens? And now another clear example from New York City Mayor Zoran Mamdani, who recently made a hospital visit, not to see a police officer, but to see the man who stabbed a police officer with a knife. Here's Cut14.

NEW YORK CITY MAYOR ZOHRAN MAMDANI: And as you said, I spoke with the Chakraborty family, and I visited Jabez in the hospital, and there is, no family should have to endure this kind of pain.

JENNINGS: That audio you heard there, that's the audio, the sound of someone stabbing a police officer with a knife. So a police officer in New York is attacked in the line of duty, and Zoran Mamdani shows up to comfort the attacker. That is your Democratic Party, America, in 2026. They have chosen a side. It is not the police.

Did the stabbed deputy shoot the attacker? Why not?
