The recent revelation that Zohran Mamdani misrepresented himself as 'black' on a college application has his fellow Democrats pivoting to other topics. Hakeem Jeffries was asked about it recently on <em>MSNBC</em> and quickly changed the subject.

Here’s a confused Al Sharpton posing the question. (WATCH)

You’d think Sharpton’s producer would put a pronouncer for ‘Mamdani’ in his teleprompter.

Commenters noticed that Jeffries simply acted like the question wasn’t even asked of him.

Posters were surprised that he didn’t instinctively fall back on his usual pivot subject.

Most 'journalists' and their fellow Democrats are blowing this off because Mamdani’s a fellow Democrat. Posters know there would be a 24/7 firestorm of coverage if Mamdani had an 'R' after his name.

That’s one thing that Democrats always do better than Republicans - standing up or deflecting for their fellow Democrats, no matter what.
