    I remember hearing about him, but for some reason his misdeeds and crimes have fully escaped my memory. Can someone drop me a refresher on what he did exactly?

        The moment you mentioned ‘Jew-ish’ I immediately remembered who this guy was… and I knew he was full of shit, that’s why I wrote him off in my mind. Both full of shit and the charisma and sex appeal of a car accident. No wonder he faded from my mind.

        But now that I am looking at your list and another article I found on cracked.com ( You can read it here ) that really shows the gall and hypocrisy of this asshole and his sheer lies. That he accuses Mamdani of being some crime enabler when he himself is rotten to the core.
