After the latest assassination attempt targeting President Trump at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, three of the Democrat Party’s youngest and most powerful leaders decried the incident on social media.
They got hammered.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on X, “Political violence is absolutely unacceptable. I am glad the President and guests at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.”
Political violence is absolutely unacceptable.
I am glad the President and guests at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner are safe.

Responses included:
Your friend, Hasan Piker, openly calls for political assassinations
Your wife, Rama Duwaji, openly endorses political murders
Your staff, Alvaro Lopez, celebrated those who tore down posters of hostages as “heroes”
We are against political killings.
We fear you might not be.

More dishonesty from NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Mayor Mamdani embraces as friend and comrade Hasan Piker. Piker calls for assassination of U.S. Senator, Trump, and for the streets to “run with the blood” of capitalists. Piker is also a raging antisemite and October 7 rape… https://t.co/YqFjf2uEc2 pic.twitter.com/HFGZRGuWqj

Your wife literally celebrated October 7th, you idiot.

You’ve advocated political violence for years with your free Palestine death cult crap. Sit the f*** down Mamdani.

Mamdani’s friendship with Piker calls into question his condemnation of violence; Piker has called for the murder of Florida GOP Senator Rick Scott, as well as saying of property owners, “Kill them. Kill those motherf*ckers and murder those motherf*ckers in the street. Let the streets soak in their f*cking red capitalist blood”; said, “Liberals, you need to be f*cking showing your opponent’s guts on there, okay? You need to be gutting them. You need to be shanking these motherf*ckers and letting their f*cking intestines just ride on stage.”
Mamdani’s wife, Rama Duwaji, reportedly “liked” Instagram posts on the day of the October 7 Hamas massacre that featured live-streamed footage of terrorists breaching the Gaza border and commandeering Israel Defense Forces vehicles. One post she approved of hailed the attack as “breaking the walls of apartheid.”
More recently, Duwaji liked a post that dismissed the documented mass rapes of Israeli women during the October 7 attacks as a “mass hoax” fabricated by the media.
Meanwhile, Democrat Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez wrote: “There is no place for political violence in our country. I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.”
There is no place for political violence in our country.
I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.
— Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@RepAOC) April 26, 2026
She was also torched for her comment:
If you believe there is no place for political violence in our country why do you hang out with Hasan Piker, a man who has called for “capitalist blood” to “run in the streets,” who has suggested that someone needs to assassinate President Trump, and who called for the… pic.twitter.com/nKkLS84h41

The Democrat Socialists of America, who endorsed you, recently had a vote on whether to kick a member of their political committee out after he repeatedly called for the murder of those on the right.
The same committee that endorsed you voted to keep him on the committee. Do you…

In October 2024, Ocasio-Cortez accused Trump of “[echoing] the words of Adolf Hitler,” the Guardian noted. She ranted that she would not attend Trump’s 2025 inauguration, saying, “Let me make myself clear. I don’t celebrate rapists. … We are on the eve of an authoritarian administration.”
It might be instructive to note one of the motivations Cole Tomas Allen — the suspect in the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner — cited for his actions was that Trump was a “rapist.” He wrote in his manifesto, “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”
Jeffries wrote: “Thankful for the swift law enforcement action to protect everyone from gunfire at the White House Correspondents Dinner. Praying for the safety of those who may remain in harm’s way. The violence and chaos in America must end.”

Jeffries has said, “The threat right now to the American people are extreme MAGA Republicans. That’s the threat. That’s the problem, that’s the crisis we confront.”

Not a single word about the President or First Lady. Just limp platitudes about safety.
Meanwhile, your party’s violent rhetoric has caused the permission nutters use to harm our President.
You’re repugnant.

We will continue to lecture you and your movement until you stop killing and trying to kill conservatives.

Jeffries has also called for fighting the Trump administration’s agenda “in the streets.”
