Michael Goodwin: Mamdani hosting pro-Palestinian ‘activist’ Khalil proves he’s still a radical leftist when it comes to the Mideast

Because the first 100 days of a new administration are often a harbinger of things to come, New Yorkers better brace themselves for four turbulent years. 

Mayor Mamdani is off to a terrible start, with even the weather turning against him.

Khalil was arrested by ICE last year after leading disruptive anti-Israel protests at Columbia University, and still faces possible deportation on charges of committing fraud on his green card........
