Slander is spoken, libel is written.

That dude nailed that character in one of those 'best in history, nobody else could have' performances.

JK Simmons was the objectively correct choice. 100% perfectly cast.

Technically correct, and OP changed the headline to say "attack" instead of slander. But even that's inaccurate. What the governor said was very polite criticism, saying he doesn't think Mamdani is the best person for the job - not even "bad", just not "the best". And it's the governor - one person - not "Dems". OP is just spewing standard MAGA bullshit.

*mamdani

And he’s not even the governor.

Well yeah, former governor. So at this point just some guy criticizing Mamdani (also, typo fixed - thx).

I'll change the title to 'attack' instead of slander because the grammar police is getting out of hand
