"Why is it that every time someone wants to criticize Mamdani, it immediately comes back to the Jews and the anti-Israel movement instead of actually talking about his viewpoints? Nobody said Jews. You just said it. You always do that! replied Uygur. We say Israel, you say Jews. We say, Israel as a government. Please don't make it about Jewish Americans,' and you come back with, You have to make it about Jewish Americans.' What's wrong with you?! Is Israel a Jewish state? Yes or no? asked Miller, before claiming, What you're doing is encoding language to attack American Jews and to say that we should not be here and we should not be in existence."
"Uygur responded, No! I want Israel to be safe. Nonsense. You're totally lying! That's very normal for a Miller to be completely and utterly lying."
"Quite frankly, I'm really sick and tired of this racist, bigoted rhetoric that comes from people like you against my husband, against my family, and my children. I am raising Jewish children in this country! Who brought your children into this?! What a weirdo!"
Katie Miller and Cenk Uygur clashed on Piers Morgan Uncensored during a debate about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Israel. Miller protested that criticism of Mamdani repeatedly returned to Jews and the anti-Israel movement instead of focusing on his viewpoints. Uygur denied targeting Jewish Americans, said he wants Israel to be safe, and accused Miller of lying. Miller accused Uygur of racist and bigoted rhetoric against her family and Jewish children and warned she would walk off the show if such attacks continued. Progressive analyst Omar Baddar later weighed in on the argument.
