New York Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman slammed Zohran Mamdani for using the anniversary of the October 7 Hamas massacre to criticize Israel, while accusing his Democratic opponent, Governor Kathy Hochul, of continuing to enable him. “New Yorkers deserve leaders who will stand up against antisemitism, not excuse it,” Blakeman said, stressing that the innocent lives lost on October 7 must never be forgotten.
