Excerpt: " 'Yesterday, #WhiteSupremacist #JakeLang organized a protest outside #GracieMansion rooted in #bigotry and #racism. Such hate has no place in New York City,' #ZorhanMamdani said. 'It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are. What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a #protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.' "
