New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is being touted as an "undeniable power broker" after his slate of radical socialist endorsees won in state and national races on Tuesday night.This might seem like good news for Republicans, since it can make the national Democrats look extreme.But the broadcast networks have a serious problem finding anyone too extreme on the left.
The Democrats will try to absorb these radicals and cater to them, and it’s already obvious the networks are downplaying their radicalism and playing up their mass appeal to voters.On Monday night, "PBS News Hour" pundit Amy Walter strangely tried to claim that a victory by the radicals in New York didn’t mean anything nationally, that somehow we won’t know the tilt of the Democrats until the Michigan primary in August – where radical doctor Abdul el-Sayed is leading in the Senate primary race.FLASHBACK: WILDEST MOMENTS MAMDANI OVERCAME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL TO BECOME NYC'S NEXT MAYOROn Wednesday morning, CBS reporter Ed O’Keefe sounded a similar note, that this "won’t be a factor in every race across the country, and Democrats certainly aren’t nominating socialists everywhere else." But there are a growing number of Bernie/AOC Democrats running across the country.In Wisconsin, gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong announced that her "perfect world" is one without prisons.O’Keefe also downplayed the extreme views these Democrats have in Israel, favoring Hamas and the dissolution of Israel.
He described their view vaguely as "the U.S.relationship with Israel needs to be rethought."On "World News Tonight," ABC reporter Jay O’Brien called it an "earthquake," and concluded: "Who will benefit? President Trump already trying to put his stamp on all of this, branding the winners as ‘communists.’" When winning candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier was asked on MS NOW about the communist charge, she refused to answer it.ABC’s "The View" actually had a debate on Mamdani's endorsements.
