“They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,” Mamdani said.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

It’s been a while since Fox viewers have heard a legitimate non-preapproved question.
