Mam’s imam photo-op: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: Zohran Mamdani’s photo-op with controversial Brooklyn imam Siraj Wahhaj.
Zohran Mamdani, if elected, might be no good friend to Jews, Christians or average Muslims in New York (“Imam: USA is ‘filthy,’ ” Oct. 21).
Mamdani’s rictus smile is simply a manipulation to con gullible people into considering he’s a pleasant, non-threatening individual.
His associations communicate volumes.
Be very frightened by the company a politician retains.

When I noticed the photograph of Mamdani posing with that imam, I believed of the 1000’s of our servicemen who gave their lives so we may dwell in freedom, and yes, capitalism.
To assume this communist crackpot may really be the subsequent mayor of our metropolis is an excessive amount of to take.

It nauseates me to see Mamdani with that ever-present grin cozying up to antisemites and people with terrorist beliefs.
He makes guarantees that he can’t keep, and solely the gullible will consider him, and worse, vote for him.
I don’t care the place you reside in New York — the decline of town will solely escalate ought to he be elected.
My mother’s favourite saying after we had been growing up was: “Show me your friends, and I will tell you who you are.”
She was so proper.
New Yorkers, beware.

An image says a thousand phrases.
On prime of the very hateful phrases consistently spewing out of Mamdani’s mouth — from his refusal to sentence Hamas for lately slaughtering its very own, to his help of the globalization of Intifada — this image is the final word affirmation that Mamdani is toxic.

Zohran Mamdani might be uncovered as a communist, terrorist-loving, antisemite every single day within the New York Post.
Unfortunately it gained’t make any distinction.
As long as he guarantees free transportation, free food and free residences he’s successful.
Nothing beats free stuff.

Explain to me why Mamdani would even take into account a photograph with this man.
If Siraj Wahhaj hates America and our means of life, then he ought to get out of our nation.

The Issue: President Trump’s commuting of Rep. George Santos’ seven-year jail sentence.
America, we have now a downside — President Trump giving Rep. George Santos a “get out of jail” move is politics at its worst (“Don frees Lyin’ Santos,” Oct. 18).
Santos pled guilty to his host of crimes and may pay the price in jail.
I’m a MAGA American, however letting a legal free for no different purpose than being a Republican is just mistaken.
I believe Trump is doing a good job general, however this transfer on Santos exhibits that partisan politics all the time seep in.
As a conservative.
I’ll no longer give the Republican Party my help.

President Trump’s commutation of convicted felon George Santos’ jail sentence made me marvel how presidents got here to have this broad energy.
Our historical past is full of cases the place presidents, each Democrat and Republican, have issued controversial pardons.
Why ought to a president have the only real authority to overturn due course of and a jury verdict?
This sweeping energy appears to make a mockery of our justice system.
Maybe it’s time for the American people to determine if we need to proceed to permit it, and if that’s the case, at the very least require Congress to have some enter.
It’s far an excessive amount of energy for one individual to wield.
