Mamdami having a reasonable public response and twitter "progressives" trying to skewer him over it.
I like how mamdami didn't mention nazism but just said "flying a flag with swastika". Then the other guy says "absolutely misleading, here's a picture" posts a picture of a flag with a swastika, theyln says "does this look like a celebration of nazism?"
Sorry who's being misleading?
Also nonzero chance he was just told of it by an aide and he didn't have the full context.
I think he just understands that a lot of people arent tuned in and it looks really fucking bad to not just condemn some people flying a swastika.
Everyone understands what it means. Giving in to Zionist concern trolling never works.
Yeah that too tbh
