Jennings: Mamdani ‘Went After People Who He Thinks Are the Problem’ ... Those ‘Who Own Things,’ ‘Have Businesses’

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "No, no, I know my socialists. I keep a close eye on them. So here‘s the thing. He went after everybody that he thinks is a problem: people who own things, people who have businesses. He said an interesting quote: 'No problem too large for government to solve.'"

FARAH GRIFFIN: "Or too small. Important."

JENNINGS: "And so when you think of the world that way, that every problem, no matter how small or how large, is something for government to do, let me just decipher this for you. Tax increases as far as the eye can see, which means that people who need to provide jobs to the young people that you say need jobs are going to flee as quickly as they possibly can. I think this was a divisive speech, and he clearly sees the world in terms of the people who are oppressing you and the oppressed. And he said, the oppressed are now in city hall."
