No, it wouldn't be the smart thing. He could have dodged the question, but by affirming the imperialist narrative he supports the Empire's current aggression on Venezuela, and blocks discussion from mainstream leftist discourse.

You're right, dodging the question would have been much smarter. I haven't seen the context but I doubt there's any need for the mayor of New York to declare a position on these two leaders, and Mamdami has already famously dodged the Zionist Regime visit question in the primaries debate.

Yep, agreed!
