A standout moment of New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani's interview with Fox News came when he looked into the camera and spoke directly to Donald Trump, figuring he may be watching.
I haven’t followed Zohran super closely, but this Fox interview was a Masterclass. Sure she’s not the strongest host they have, but he mopped the floor with everything she threw his way. You could almost see her sway in his favor. I was seriously impressed. If I was a New Yorker he’d have my vote. A breath of fresh air in this time of millionaire politics. He seems like the real deal.
She literally became less hostile because of how charming he was. He was literally talking past what she was prepared for and literally hit her with a “wait, this guy kinda makes sense”.
God damn. I’m sorry I’m so pessimistic but Mamdani can’t really exist can he? A leftist that is also so charismatic while keeping policy talk points as the focus of every answer? Pinch me. I would be suspicious of him more if he wasn’t pro Palestine and more importantly anti Israel.
The only issue I had was his police “apology”. I get why. It’s him trying to make sure he can control them as governor. It’s basically him acknowledging the militarized police state and playing politics. It’s not what we want to hear though.
I do like how he is trying to reduce police power by saying “we’re gonna make your job easier”. I think it’s a good move. We definitely need less police murdering people having a mental health crisis.
Agreed. If nothing else, he has the gift of gab. Which is more than any other candidates. But what he’s saying is good too. Desperately wish we could have a candidate like this in the Midwest.
TIL - thats neat! I use the phrase all the time, so did my dad. His dad was the first generation born in the US, somewhere from southern Ireland (not much in the way of paperwork to track before that).

It’s to my understanding and Irish idiom / saying. Those that traveled to Blarney Castle, in the county Cork. And kiss the Blarney stone which was part of the battlements. Were often said to be blessed with the gift of gab.
Basically talk good/persuasively.
