Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Monday defended comments he made about the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) after he was asked whether language including “monsters” and “dark money” was dangerous or invoked antisemitic tropes.
AIPAC is a prominent pro-Israel advocacy group that supports candidates through endorsements and political spending. Mamdani’s remarks about it came during a Brooklyn rally last week for three progressive congressional candidates he has endorsed in Tuesday’s Democratic primaries.
