Chevalier claims that she partook in the pro-Hamas march for "the human rights of Palestinians." This was the infamous march in which participants chanted, “Resistance is justified when people are occupied”. There were also chants of "700" in reference to the number of Israelis killed during the attack at the time with others making throat slitting gestures. Perhaps this was Chevalier's way of supporting the human rights of Palestinians. Perhaps Chevalier's presence at this pro-Hamas march is why Mamdani endorsed her.
After all, Congressman Espaillat had endorsed Mamdani, but Mamdani did not reciprocate. Like President Trump, Mamdani demands loyalty but don't count on him to share his loyalty in return.
The 13th Congressional District covers Upper Manhattan and parts of the Bronx and is predominantly Hispanic. As one of the safest Democratic congressional districts in the country, if Chevalier supplants Espaillat for the nomination she will invariably be elected to Congress.
Electing someone who participated in a pro-Hamas march to Congress is every bit as despicable as electing someone who stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th. While Democrats are right to decry the election of J6ers to Congress their credibility is in question if they turn a blind eye to candidates who support Hamas and the murder of Jewish civilians in Israel.
If Democrats are smart, they will pull out all the stops to ensure Espaillat's nomination.
Unfortunately given Democratic support for the likes of Graham Platner, Adam Hamawy, Abdul El-Sayed and, for that matter, Mamdani, I cannot be assured where it concerns their intelligence.
