On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “The Beat,” House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) responded to a question on if there’s room in the party for New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s (D) views on democratic socialism and Israel by saying that “the bigger the tent, the more likely it is that we can reach the greatest number of Americans.”
Jeffries began by saying that Mamdani’s platform on affordability is “very provocative…I look forward to sitting down and talking to him about his plans to actually implement that platform, to deal with some of the challenges that the communities that I face are dealing with, in terms of gentrification and displacement and a whole host of other issues that I would normally talk about with any Democratic nominee and certainly will talk about with our particular Democratic nominee in the context of the mayoral race.”
Later, host Ari Melber asked, “[N]ot saying you would endorse the whole platform, but when his platform is affordability, ideas around democratic socialism, raising the tax rate in the city of New York, free busses, a different type of foreign policy, if we simplify, but much more harshly critical of the Israeli government, say, than I think the congressional leaders have been in terms of approaching the entire conflict, is there room in the big tent of the Democratic Party for that right now or for you is that TBD?”

Yep.
That didn’t take long. Hakeem goes from skeptical acknowledgment of last week, to the bowing down in submission surrender of this week. Don’t forget to Dry Clean your Prayer Rug!
Tent my ***. You neo-liberal cavemen all live in mansions.
A party that welcomes pedophiles is going to welcome any kind of psycho.
“the bigger the tent, the more likely it is that we can reach the greatest number of Americans.” Change to:
The bigger the tent, the more likely it is that we can reach the greatest number of Americans so that we can indoctrinate and propagandized in order to control them for their own good.
Heh, heh....Hakeem’s people, hereabouts, seem to be living more and more in small tents, on public property....
Many people would have a problem with voting for racist Jew hating bigots. As Muslims often say “first the Saturday people, then the Sunday people”.
What. A. Surprise. Jeffries calls himself a Christian.
Hey, if the Pope can embrace Islam, we shouldn't be surprised by Christian Jeffries' big tent blather.
so when will there be a name change?
