Later, he claimed Mamdani never commented about the recent stabbing of an NYPD detective. Mamdani talked about the stabbing several times, including the below statement where the mayor notes he visited the injured officer:
Earlier today, an off-duty NYPD detective was stabbed several times in the Bronx during what preliminary information indicates was an attempted robbery. 

I visited the detective and his family at Jacobi Hospital with Police Commissioner Tisch. 

He is thankfully in stable condition, and I am hoping for his quick and complete recovery. I am confident that the NYPD will identify and apprehend the suspects and that the people responsible will be held to account.

Marco Rubio has a meltdown when asked about Kimberly Guilfoyle: "I'm not playing this game ... you guys are not gonna be our only source of information in the world. I'm sorry to tell you that. No... I don't even know if what you're reporting is true." (It's true! The Journal has her text messages!)

This is so dangerous! President Trump is deliberately inciting race hatred against an ethnic minority, calling on the people of Minnesota to "fight back" against "Somali immigrants." This must be a terrifying moment for the Somali community (who are overwhelmingly US citizens).

Ok, I’m pretty proud of this! I always wanted to see a crossover where young Bruce Wayne came across a mean scrappy little Marvel character while training in Asia. They spar. Bruce is technically brilliant but the little bastard won’t stay down. #batman #wolverine #marvelcomics #dccomics #fanart
