EQUALITY FOR ALL • I am tired of seeing politicians using small groups of people as a punching bag - be it race, or gender identity, or sexual orientation. • Sadly, we have even Democrats trying to pander to what they think Trump voters want by peddling soft bigotry. (Doesn't work, never has.) • I will support passing, at last, federal LGBTQ anti-discrimination legislation.

Daniel Goldman post yesterday: My statement after meeting with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social: Statement from Congressman Dan Goldman "Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani ran an energized campaign that elevated the most pressing issues facing our city: affordability and the cost of living. Yesterday, Zohran and I met to discuss those issues that we agree on as well as other critical ones where we do not. "Zohran and I share a desire to lift up vulnerable New Yorkers and make the city more affordable and safe. To that end, I explained why Jewish New Yorkers feel unsafe in the City and that, as he continues this campaign, he must not only condemn anti-Jewish hate and calls for violence, but make clear that as Mayor he would take proactive steps to protect all New Yorkers and make us secure. "I appreciate Zohran's willingness to reach out to me, to engage, and to listen, and I look forward to continuing the dialogue about our mutual desire to move this City in a positive direction." Post two days ago: Absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. Whatever you think of Zohran Mamdani's politics, there is absolutely no place for this kind of hate and bigotry. Rep. Ogles loves to get attention by being inflammatory, but all you end up doing is exposing yourself as an asshole.
