From Fox News: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., defended Democratic New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani after Republican Rep. Brandon Gill, R-Texas, criticized him for campaigning in Arabic.
“Just a couple decades after 9/11, the leading candidate for NYC mayor is campaigning in Arabic. The humiliation is the point,” Gill wrote in a post on X, sharing a Mamdani campaign video in Arabic.
The Republican made the comments when retweeting a Mamdani post on X written in Arabic, which featured a video of the mayoral candidate speaking the foreign language.

Ocasio-Cortez, who has heavily supported Mamdani, and, like Mamdani, is a Democrat Socialist, fired back at Gill’s criticism.
“Over 100 languages are spoken in our great city and it’s actually a pretty amazing part of being an American,” AOC claimed.
“If you are humiliated by America and the diversity that powers our nation’s Nobel Prizes, Olympic Gold Medals, and breakthrough innovations and culture, that’s on you,” she sneered.

One X user, “Drake”, fired back at AOC with a historic quote:
“We have room for but one flag, the American flag…We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language… and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is a loyalty to the American people.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Conservative host Cash Loren retorted, “English is the US language, Comrade Sandy.”
