Progressive activist David Hogg defended Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, at the Hill Nation Summit on Wednesday.
“A lot of stuff that I think is very, you know, racist,” Hogg said of some criticisms of Mamdani, pausing before the last word. “A lot of times it wasn’t even focused on his actual policy, it was more focused on him and his identity.”
Mamdani, who would be New York City’s first Muslim mayor, has taken considerable fire for his criticisms of Israel, including an interview leading up to the primary in which he declined to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada.”
He said this week that he would now “discourage” the use of the phrase.
Mamdani was in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, where he met with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats.
Hogg backed Mamdani in the New York City mayoral Democratic primary. He has pressed for changes within the Democratic Party that would give more power to progressives, as well as younger generations of Democrats.
Hogg at the Hill Nation Summit said he believed some of his ideas would win out because he would "outlive" many of those opposed to his ideas.
