I commend Rep. Goldman for his accidental honesty. Usually a shell game is less obvious, usually Lucy doesn't say "I'm going to pull the football away" but here Goldman's outright saying that is precisely what he'll do, making it clear to Mamdani (and everyone else) that he should be ignored.
Rep. Dan Goldman won't endorse Mamdani until he takes "concrete steps" to address Jewish New Yorkers' fears about hate crimes, but also said he was not looking for any one specific commitment from Mamdani, but speaking generally
