Zohran Mamdani withdraws from ABC town hall in Kimmel protest
New York mayoral candidate attacks network’s corporate leaders for ‘cowardice’ in ‘moment of authoritarianism’
“I am withdrawing not as an indictment of the local affiliate or the hard-working journalists, but rather in response to the corporate leaders who have put their bottom line ahead of their responsibility in upholding the freedom of the press."
“We cannot understand this moment of authoritarianism as solely coming from the White House, when it is also characterized by the cowardice of those in response to it.”
