What trumped the highlights of the actual basketball game were the highlights of the beauty of multiculturalism and unity celebrating in the streets of Manhattan.

Here's a video of that across all five boroughs.

Play the clip.

It was so massive, and my question is,

Don't y'all think that this moment was bigger than just this basketball game?

Because what we have is a city that is directly under attack all the time from Fox News.

A city that is an antidote to everything that MAGA tries to scare you about.

Muslims and Jewish people and Christian people and non-believers and Hindus and rich people and poor people.

living together all in one place a mayor that is muslim but advocates for everybody all of this sharia laws is this what it is a mayor who's constantly working all the time trying to lift up the most marginalized among us and level the playing field and

you may remember the one game that the knicks lost was the game that trump had to politicize that uh james dolan had to politicize and in the lead up to that game the city has just been obsessed with this you know this uh jaunt to victory the day that day in the city it was trump trump was all over the sidewalks this is a place where he can't hide it where he can't fake it

he lived here he was born here and for decades everybody has known what a lying cheating racist piece of this guy is how mediocre at best that he is and he tries to trot in here and go to the game through the whole vibes of the city off you know you had to enter the arena four or five blocks away and

The Knicks lose.

And then, you know, he's out.

The Knicks are able, they go back to San Antonio.

The Trump's stink is off the city and everybody is celebrating.

And I just, from being in the city, you guys, it felt bigger.

than a basketball game.

It felt like, fuck you.

You wanna send ICE in here to terrorize.

You wanna say that we're this crime-ridden city, mind you, Moses Mike Grinder Johnson's district has a much higher crime rate in these red Bible Belt states than the city of New York City does per capita.
