That was not music to his ears.
Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani’s 2019 rap video reached a national audience Thursday night — during an incredibly awkward moment on a live CNN interview that left the New York City mayoral hopeful visibly uncomfortable.
Mamdani appeared on “Erin Burnett OutFront” and the eponymous host used the C-grade hip-hop video as an introduction to the 33-year-old lefty pol who performed under the name “Mr. Cardamom.”
**SNIP**
In the 2017 track “Holy Land Five,” the presumptive Democratic mayoral candidate praised five men — known as the “Holy Land Five” — from the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development who were convicted in 2008 of donating more than $12 million to Hamas.
“My love to the Holy Land Five. You better look ‘em up,” Mamdani as Mr. Cardamom sang in a song called “Salam.”
Those five men — Shukri Abu Baker, Mohammad El-Mezain, Ghassan Elashi, Mufid Abdulqader and Abdulrahman Odeh — were convicted by the US Justice Department on 108 counts including supporting terrorism, tax fraud and money laundering.
Mamdani and his paltry rapping chops got an ego-check from a real New York rapper — 50 Cent — who offered the Socialist $258,000 to drop out of the race and leave New York for good.

BTTT
I still believe that EVERYTHING is scripted and poll-tested, when it comes to the Democrats...so there was a reason he wanted it played.
From the Marxist playbook. Flood the zone with as many ridiculous programs with the idea of some of them will stick.
That may be true, but they consistently side with the 10% of 90-10 issues. They must be restricting their polling to the most extreme members of their cult and scripting their messages to the same crowd.
oh no
put it on a loop
he is praising hamas supporters
men who were convicted of supporting hamas
... a real New York rapper — 50 Cent — who offered the Socialist $258,000 to drop out of the race and leave New York for good....
LOL ... $oros is probably paying him more than that to stay in the race.
Maybe 50¢ could start a GoFundZoltarLeavingAmerica fund ... many libs who are speaking out against him might even donate.
“Didn’t think it was going to be CNN” means “I thought Fox would play it; I thought you guys would do whatever was needed to get me elected.”
Honest/serious question:
Why are we giving this idiot so much attention time on FR?
Giant city. Uber commie. At least it’s in the news. Exposing socialists isn’t a bad thing. Make the other side have to explain it again. Heck, there’s even another giant city telling this giant city to avoid this guy. Mildy entertaining.
I’ve a different take. But if the end result gets him elected, I’m fine with that.
Give ‘em more rope, I say. Let ‘em go full ret-ard, I say
