Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Right.
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Which to me went right back to what the police, the public advocate, Jumaane Williams, said that the next morning he would be vilified.
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was not the next morning.
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It was that very evening.
33 MINS LATER
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
All of the things that I witnessed with NYPD's behavior, whether that was their inaction or, for lack of a better word, complicity while I was at the scene of the incident, the fact that they were escalating against protesters, and then the fact that she, rather than condemn the actions of ICE and acknowledge that there needs to be a serious investigation into NYPD's behavior, she then proceeded to vilify The victim of the shooting.

Antonia HyltonHOST
The shooting provoked outrage from many New Yorkers and elected officials, including, of course, Mayor Zoran Mamdani, who called for ICE to get out of New York City entirely.
Antonia HyltonHOST
And joining me now is one of those officials, New York City public advocate Jumaane Williams.
Antonia HyltonHOST
Jumaane, it's great to have you on this special edition of The Assignment.
Antonia HyltonHOST
Good to see you.

Jumaane WilliamsGUEST
I think he would sell his own children if it meant protecting his name, his brand, his wealth, and his power.
Jumaane WilliamsGUEST
That's a very, very dangerous place for our country to be in right now.
Antonia HyltonHOST
Jumaane Williams, it's good to see you.
Antonia HyltonHOST
Thank you for your time.
Bill O'ReillyHOST

Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And, you know, I was actually very disgusted to hear Commissioner Tisch's remarks yesterday because just a few hours prior, um, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams reminded us that the way that the victim would be spoken about would be, uh, in a demonizing way.
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And just a few hours later, that is what com- Police Commissioner, uh, Tisch did.
Avila ChevalierSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
There is no reason for, for her to read out, you know, the, this person's past, past contact with police.
Ben FeuerherdCORRESPONDENT
That's been good for New Yorkers, and the subway is safe, and people are safe in their communities, and the murder rate is extremely low, and shootings are at historic lows.
Ben FeuerherdCORRESPONDENT
Um, and then on the other hand, you have someone like, you know, uh, Jumaane Williams, who's been very critical, who at City Council hearings has, uh, grilled NYPD officials about, um, q- uh, about the quality of life crackdown, about, uh, stopping pe- about police officers stopping people without, um, real cause to do so.
Ben FeuerherdCORRESPONDENT
Um, but he's not, uh, even though he's been critical and has, um, [lips smack] raised these tough questions, hasn't publicly called for her to step down.
Brian LehrerHOST
Interesting texts and phone calls coming in.
Bakari SellersHOST
And lastly, [clears throat] Jumaane, and did I pronounce that right?
Angela RyeHOST
Yeah, Jumaane Williams.
Bakari SellersHOST
Jumaane, Jumaane did a great job just articulating clearly the, I mean, w- without any sensationalism, just clearly articulating what Target is, what Target should be, and what they ain't.
Bakari SellersHOST
Which is, which is what we need more of.
DavidAUDIENCE
Mark, have you noticed these local politicians have altered their method of dress in order to appeal to the communists? For instance, State Senator John Liu goes walking around with these Havana shirts on, uh, to different events, that Cuomo used to wear.
DavidAUDIENCE
And this Jumaane Williams wears these beads that my grandmother used to wear when she came over for Sunday dinner.
Mark SimoneHOST

DavidAUDIENCE
I wonder if you noticed this, Mark.

Joy ReidHOST
You're going to listen to a couple of these elected officials who sounded off about what Target is doing.
Joy ReidHOST
You're going to hear Mark Levine, who is the New York City comptroller, and public advocate Jumaane Williams, who was on the show last week.
Mark LevineSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
has been using this parking lot as its base of operations for this local neighborhood.
Mark LevineSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And this is not news today we are breaking.
Jumaane WilliamsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They are telling us they only care about your dollars.
Jumaane WilliamsSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
They do not care about you.
Joy ReidHOST
Jumaane Williams, straight up, do not shop at Target.
Joy ReidHOST
If you're a New Yorker that cares about other people, do not shop at Target.
Derek HunterHOST
And so we'll get to that.
Derek HunterHOST
We've got the ridiculousness of a guy named Jumaane, I assume it's Jumaane, J-U-M-A-A-N-E, Jumaane Williams.
Derek HunterHOST
He's a New York City public advocate, which means that New York City just puts a bunch of leftist activists on the payroll.
Derek HunterHOST
And they say, We represent the public and the government representing the public, to which I would ask, then why the hell do you have elected officials? If you need somebody specifically to represent the public's interest, What are the city council members, of which there are plenty in New York, and the mayor, what are they supposed to represent? But anyway, he's mad at a retail chain because they allow ICE to stage in their parking lot, which I don't think they have a
