Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has reportedly apologized to New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani over saying he had referred to “global jihad” in the past.
A readout that Politico obtained said Mamdani and Gillibrand talked Monday night on a call amid voting on President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.”
“Gillibrand apologized for mischaracterizing Mamdani’s record and for her tone on the call,” stated the readout, according to Politico.
When reached for comment, Gillibrand’s office directed The Hill to a post on the social platform X by CNN reporter Edward-Isaac Dovere that seemed to feature a screenshot of the readout.
During a recent appearance on radio host Brian Lehrer’s WNYC show, Gillibrand said she had heard from New York constituents who were “alarmed” by public statements Mamdani has made in defense of those who call for global intifada. The New York Democratic senator also said Mamdani had referred to “global jihad” during the appearance, with her communications director saying in a post on X that she misspoke.

What a coward.
The establishment democrats must be crapping in their pants when outsiders start eating into their territory.
This reminded me of the NBA when they started apologizing to the Chinese govt for that one coach who spoke ill of their leaders.
See what happens when your fellow travelers cut off a few heads, it sends a message, people fear you and that fear makes the cowards run.
Look at these fools cow towing to this guy already..
“ The establishment democrats must be crapping in their pants when outsiders start eating into their territory”
Outsiders? Really?
POS.
I’d imagine that he’s feeling quite smug —and emboldened— at the moment. There is a suicidal trance-like sickness cast over our nation, and I see him winning handily. May God help us.
She should have quoted Colonel Dax: “I apologize...for not being entirely honest with you. I apologize for not revealing my true feelings. I apologize, sir, for not telling you sooner that you’re a communist, jihadi sonovab*tch. And you can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!”
This is why Islam does not fear the democrats. I wonder who showed up at her front door.
She’s gonna need a burka.
This is a typical spineless politician.
Say what you mean, mean what you say.
She’s sorry she told the truth about Mamdani.
Her liberal focus group reminded her that Muslims are a protected Democrat Party identity group...at least until they chop your head off.
When you win the primary for the Democrat Party in New York—you have won the election. He is the mayor—like it or not. Look to see the Jihadi Commie have a Little Accident soon. Outsiders will not be tolerated.
Didn't he say he wanted to "globalize the intifada?" Isn't this just an apology over semantics, rather than substance?
Total surrender and submission, just like during Obama’s first presidential campaign. Normal people bending over backwards to prove how “open minded” they are.
One of the first to bend her knee to Islam.
Sad coward.
