Graham Platner & Al Qaeda’s Congressman-Elect from New Jersey Are the Consequence of Democrats Failing the “David Duke Test” with Mamdani

Mamdani Platner Hamawy.png

In August 2025, in the run-up to the mayoral election in New York City, I wrote a piece for The Blaze outlining how that election was a “David Duke” test for the Democrats. They had the choice of a supporting a racist adversary of the United States in Zohran Mamdani, or repudiating Mamdani and supporting the Republican, no matter how unpalatable they might find the decision to vote “R.”

Democrats failed the test, choosing to rally around Mamdani, who is now New York’s mayor.

The consequences are being realized quickly, with Jew-hatred and virulent anti-Americanism now mainstreamed in the Democratic party, as evidenced by Democrats clearing the field for Nazi fanboy Graham Platner to win the Maine senate nomination, and Adam Hamawy winning the Democrat nomination to a Congressional seat in New Jersey. Mr. Hamawy is a squad-endorsed former Al-Qaeda volunteer who also palled around with the original Twin Towers bomber, Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman (aka “The Blind Sheik.” Hamawy actually testified as a character witness for the Blind Sheik in the trial following the first World Trade Center bombing in 1995.

As I wrote in that Blaze piece titled “Democrats face their ‘David Duke moment’ in New York City”:

In Louisiana’s 1991 “jungle primary,” the two top vote-getters were: Edwin Edwards, a former Democratic governor who had been charged with bribery and later convicted of extortion and money laundering; and David Duke, the former grand wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, who ran as a Republican. Duke received only 32% of the vote, but that was enough to advance to the runoff. Although he had run for office several times in the 1980s as a Democrat, Duke ran as a Republican in 1991 — and won the Republican candidacy. Faced with an impossible choice of backing an unrepentant white supremacist on their party’s ticket, Republicans rallied around Edwards, launching a campaign under the nose-holding slogan: “Vote for the crook — it’s important.” And it worked. The crook Edwards defeated Duke, 61% to 39%.

Democrats are doing just the opposite of how Republicans handled the David Duke problem. Democrats won’t even renounce a candidate who supports terrorism against the United States, nor one with the Totenkopf tattoo used by guards at Nazi death camps.

With Democrats rapidly sliding down the most odious of slippery slopes, it does not seem far-fetched for them to soon embrace Sharia law, pogroms, and other once unthinkable “solutions.” It was bad enough when Elizabeth Warren endorsed Graham Planter in March, gushing that he’d ”flip Maine and then actually deliver change for working people.” But after even more awful revelations about Platner, Senate Democrat Leader Chuck Schumer met with the Nazi-loving Democrat and proudly announced that he still supports Platner. The most polite term I can think of to describe Schumer’s action is to call him a kapo. I have Jewish friends who use much harsher language.

There’s more...

Chris Rabb just won the Democrat nomination for a congressional seat in Philadelphia. With no Republican opponent, this anti-semitic “Democrat Socialist of America” will be representing the Democrats in Congress. Rabb has never criticized the Palestinian mass-murder of Jews on October 6, but he refers to the Israeli response as a “genocide.” In response to the Hannukah mass murder of Jews at Australia’s Bondi Beach, Mr. Rabb shared a post on Instagram alleging that the massacre was a “Zionist false flag.” Not a single Democrat member of Congress will condemn Mr. Rabb or declare his unfitness to be a part of their caucus.

And there are still more of these types likely heading to Congress after next November’s election. Darializa Avila Chevalier is running for a congressional seat in New York City. She is endorsed by Mamdani and her positions include eliminating police, eliminating national borders, eliminating free enterprise, and, of course, working to eliminate the state of Israel. She doesn’t specifically articulate an endorsement for the murder of Jews, she just plans to celebrate when Israel and its Jewish inhabitants “suddenly disappear.”

If Democrats had not failed the “David Duke test” with Mamdani, perhaps these elections would have turned out differently. Or maybe not. But the Democrats now have no moral authority to prevent their Al-Qaeda wing from asserting its agenda and taking on leadership roles.

It’s also fair to ask at this point if there are any Islamo-terrorist positions that Democrats could not tolerate among their members. They already have caucus members who embrace the murder of Jews in Israel and abroad. The only place they aren’t advocating for it is in the United States, at least so far.

Amidst all this Jew-hatred, it must also be understood that the Democrats’ new base hates straight, white Christians just as passionately. We’re not safe from where this is headed.

Mamdani, Platner and the others are now everyone’s problem, because they are now the base of the Democrat party, which is rapidly becoming America’s Islamist party. Shame on the Democrats for not stopping this problem before it was too late.

*****

Other Stuff I’m Writing About

My latest piece at the The American Spectator has been published. “Reverse Okies and Blue State Refugees — Another Wave Appears To Be Building” discusses my observation that another wave refugees appears to be fleeing blue states for havens of opportunity such as Tennessee.

I also document that voting records show these refugees voting overwhelmingly Republican in the red states they settle in. For instance, the registration by party of those moving from Washington to Idaho was documented by Fox News to be 62% Republican to just 12% Democrat.

I’ve also noticed a growing number of vehicles throughout the greater metro area that I would compassionately call “Reverse Okies.” They have license plates from places like California, Washington, Oregon, and New York on their weathered vehicles. A demographic observation of the drivers indicates that they are the “deplorables” or “bitter clingers” that are so despised by prominent Democrats. While we in Tennessee are justifiably worried about our culture being upended by woke Californians, the couple from Modesto in a 12-year old Chrysler minivan, and seeking a new start for their family, is not going to be sending a cross-dressing child to school. States like Tennessee are clearly a land of hope and opportunity for regular Americans beaten down by blue-state governance.


This piece is not behind a paywall. I’d be honored if you’d give it a read.

This imaginary group of people who I will just give the random name of "journalists" for simplicity sake, would evaluate the democrat based on an objective evaluation of the truth and simply present the results, unmodified, to the public.

But since that clearly does not exist in this world at all there are no tests. Dems are elevated throughout and their enemies are reviled. The end.

Until our side learns the lessons taught by the Owebama administration that ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES, we're f*cked.

We MUST stop sitting on our asses because the R in our local and state elections aren't perfect, they're likely better than any Dem running for the same seat. We'll have to wade through the squishes until we can force a solid conservative everywhere.

In September 2015, Billy Murphy negotiated a $6.4 million civil settlement with city officials on behalf of Freddie Gray’s family.

The point is, all those guys come from very prominent families/backgrounds.

Don't see any disagreement at all on the part of their families regarding their political stances.

69 The Left is walking into the box canyon of sorts, cravenly throwing off would be allies as they work to promote the weirdest and worst of us all. It's not a winning strategy. The old guard thinks they can hold on without having the purge they need to go through, because they don't want the temporary pain of doing so. They are going to make this worse for them in long run, and much better for us. We may have finally gotten to the top of the roller coaster pulling us up the big hill to the fun part.

70 I refuse to get caught up in the absurdist psychodrama of a Maine senate candidate with a clearly checkered past. The problem facing the nation is attempted fascist takeover. Vote for the Democrat and let's move on. The worst he can be is the same as her, vote-wise, in which case swapping her for him is really a wash. Anything else is basically an upgrade.

The choice is binary. Platner at least expresses remorse at his tattoo, covered it up, etc. Collins did nothing as chair of the appropriations committee when we were shipping innocents to CECOT.

There's a bit of a "Hillary's emails" flavor to the NYT reporting on this. Like a dog with a bone that just can't stop, won't stop. I'm sure there's basis to this stuff, but wasn't the woman with the worst allegations a republican operative?

some of y’all are stanning too hard and making excuses for his behavior. I’m a guy, and I took the MeToo moment seriously. I tend to believe the women, and I tend to believe the NYT. It’s okay to grit your teeth and vote for Platner, but don’t act like a fucking Trump supporter and blame the women or the NYT

76 Another big difference is David Duke has always been a Democrat who inserted his toxic identity into a race as a Republican in order to benefit the Democrat.

In 1988 Louisianans had bumper stickers that read, “Vote for the crook. It’s the right thing to do.” And it never occurred to anyone that Duke had won the Republican nomination for Governor because the Democrat Machine supported him in their open primary.

And that ridiculous bumper sticker completely revealed their deliberate strategy in getting the enormously unpopular Edwin Edwards reelected.

77 The "David Duke" moment was years before Mayor Bombdaddy and any of these newcomers.

The squalid "Squad" of anti-American and anti-Jewish congresswhores -- including outright Hamas skank Rashida Tlaib -- have been in Congress for years. Long before anyone became obsessed with every stupid utterance from Bombdaddy.

The DD moment wasn't really a moment at all, but a progression over the last 50 years. Commie after commie. America-hater after America-hater. There was a stone-cold, outright proud communist in the NYC mayor's office before Bombdaddy. There was outright Jew-hater David Dinkins before him.

This has been building for a long time. I'm not sure why so many people only now seem to get it.

- be the absolute worst state in the nation
- claim they’re actually the absolute best and that everyone else is cheating or faking it
- get accused of cheating and faking it by most Republicans and many Democrats
- complain that they’re being accused of cheating and faking it
- rinse and repeat

It’s become extremely tiresome.

He's been residing in an undisclosed location under house arrest with a leg monitor since being released on a $250,000 bond.

Lesser or Reduced Murder Charges or Manslaughter - the sentence is 2 to 20 years in prison. Criminally Negligent Homicide (a state jail felony), punishable by 180 days to 2 years in a state jail facility.

House arrest for a year - where you know he's been an angel - and then maybe he gets the minimum. (He was just a child & it just happened!)

It's impossible to tell how this will go, because so much has not been made public or is based on inconsistent reports. For example, it's reported that he stabbed the kid in the back.

Honestly, I always am amused by the "drink one bottle 2 hours before" and "drink 1/2 bottle 30 minutes before", b/c they don't say how long that should take. Finish 2 hours before, start 2 hours before, drink in 60 seconds? And then, you're leaving at 30 minutes to be 15 minutes early to your appointment, so how the heck do you down 1/2 bottle if you follow those instructions?

I now start 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 hours before b/c it takes me an hour to drink the 1st bottle. Then I just move to the 2nd bottle, b/c it takes me til 30 minutes before to get half down...and then they make you drink more at the appointment (which is rough, b/c I can't ice it then, but I do bring the straw)...

I do try to work on that, but it's a LONG LONG history of it and old habits are just damn hard to break.

I will get there, I hope.

135 I got ghosted by a person I knew from another forum and met IRL who happened to also be a horde member at one time, who decided because he didn't like Trump personally in the 90s that it was time to support the Democrats who he had previously stated were essentially a racist antisemite islamist supporting world destroying force. He was a jew. This is long after Trump won.

Nobody in modern America is more politically naive than Jews. I have no idea why. Maybe Sefton and CBD misplaced their mind control space ray and the DNC got it.

138 Do they understand WHY they haven't seen their grandkids very often?

Posted by: Sponge - F*ck Cancer at June 05, 2026 12:04 PM (p/Ri7)

They do.

I went over there without them the following weekend - so there were no heated emotions - and explained that what she said was absolutely unacceptable and that I wouldn't let them influence my kids with those kinds of comments. I also pointed out that the completely casually way she said it made it worse. It wasn't whispered or hinted out. It was said directly, clearly, and unapologetically.

She repeated her position and told me if I didn't change my voting pattern, my kids would turn out to be racists and failures.

I've seen them several times since then, but the kids have only come for Christmas and once when their great-grandmother was down to visit.

140 I still can't believe I never thought of Ace's characterization yesterday of "Maine Kampf."

Ace didn't coin that. First time I saw it was weeks ago on X after someone on CNN, I think Kaitlin Collins, said people shouldn't judge Platner harshly because he's had his struggles, and a lot of people made the obvious connection.

It was an open primary, which Duke won because Louisiana Democrats crossed over and supported him.
Posted by: Jack Squat Bupkis

Duke won because the Republicans didn't put up someone attractive enough to out number the Democrat crossovers. The problem was that the Pubbies let Duke in in the first place. It's endemic in the party.

You do. Put yourself and your needs 1st, at least once a day for an hour/day. Cancer taught me that I couldn't put myself last, or I wouldn't be here to put myself anywhere at all. It's partly why I'm still here.

And make those times fun, relaxing, uplifting.

That's awful. My daughter didn't have much of a relationship with her grandparents for completely different reasons, but I applaud you for your stance and holding your ground.

Wow...if she spoke that way about my kids, I'd probably cut them off. Entirely. Visit great grandmom (or even granddad, if he's not a party to this) without her...unless she is diagnosed mentally ill.

Faced with an impossible choice of backing an unrepentant white supremacist on their party’s ticket, Republicans rallied around Edwards, launching a campaign under the nose-holding slogan: “Vote for the crook — it’s important.” And it worked. The crook Edwards defeated Duke, 61% to 39%.


It's easy to keep your standards. Just don't vote. You DON'T have to vote for a democrat just because.
Posted by: rickb223 at June 05, 2026 11:04 AM (lwhHh)



Never leave a blank spot on a ballot, lest some Donk commie cocksucker "help" you with your ballot. If you can't stomach the GOPe douchecanoe, write in Bugs Bunny or vote for the fringiest of fringe candidates who hasn't a chance in hell of being elected. Or as I prefer to call it "The Camille Paglia Paradigm". She spends the whole campaign season praising the GOP candidate as a reasonable person of character, while shitting all over whatever Donk cocksucker The Party has put onto the ballot. Then when it comes time to actually vote, she pulls the lever for some fringe Green Party asshole, because everyone knows that Republicans have cooties.

I think I will disagree with that. I think they are losing numbers. I think in a fair count, they have gotten so toxic that in 1/3 of the big urban hellholes a GOP candidate would win the mayor race. The number of 20% percentages they have on a 80/20 basis is mindboggling to think they are actually gaining numbers. They've cheated so much they don't even know how far out in left field they are.
