Brad Lander, a candidate for mayor of New York City, responded to a diss from Andrew Cuomo with a Yiddish curse during a press conference. Lander, who is Jewish, said, 'May an evil decree come upon him.' Cuomo had addressed antisemitism in a recent speech and hinted that Lander and other opponents were part of the problem. Lander denied divesting city funds from Israel, as Cuomo claimed. Cuomo has focused his campaign on Israel and antisemitism, calling it the toughest issue facing the city. Lander isn't the only candidate criticized by Cuomo; Zohran Mamdani, who supports boycotting Israel, was also condemned.
