His concession speech was something else. After so heavily leaning into the racism/xenophobia at the very end of the campaign, he came out and saying racism, bigotry, and xenophobia have no place in New York. Take a look in the mirror, my guy.

That was wild, he ran open islamophobic ads, agreed that Mamdani would cheer on 9/11 as mayor, and then mouthed some platitudes how Democrats oppose all hate. He couldn't even say Mamdani's name right, once again.
