Ritchie Torres, a pro-Israel Democrat, discussed the New York City mayoral race and the importance of defending against attacks on Zohran Mamdani. Despite profound policy differences, Torres emphasized a commitment to dialogue and acceptance of election results. He stated that Democrats respect electoral outcomes. Torres also expressed a strong obligation to oppose all forms of hate, making a clear distinction between his views and Republican rhetoric. He is drafting a resolution to condemn a Republican Congressman for racist comments related to the mayoral campaign.
The people of the Democratic primary have spoken, and I accept the results. I have profound differences of opinion with Assemblymember Mamdani, but we had a mutually respectful conversation.
I have a deeply felt obligation to speak out against hate, whether it's anti-Jewish bigotry or anti-Muslim bigotry.
Democrats accept the results of the election. Most, not all, but yes.
I'm in the process of drafting a resolution that would condemn Andy Ogles for not only engaging in racist rhetoric.
