A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.

Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."

"History was full of the bones of good men who'd followed bad orders in the hope that they could soften the blow.
Oh, yes, there were worse things they could do, but most of them began right where they started following bad orders."
