Pointing out a billionaire's home as a political target is a dangerous dog whistle that could incite violence, especially given the recent attack on Sam Altman's house.
Jason argues that Mamdani's video pointing out Ken Griffin's NYC apartment is a dangerous dog whistle that could incite violence, particularly in the wake of a Molotov cocktail and shooting at Sam Altman's house. ✦ AI generated

It's a dog whistle. Crazy people, and this thing's been seen by 30, 40, 50 million people now. It's a dog whistle to say, that's the next UnitedHealthcare CEO. And in the week that a fire, a Molotov cocktail and a bullet gets shot into Sam Altman's house, it's deadly serious. And if you reversed it, I always reverse it. What if a Republican sat outside of Bernie Sanders' second or third home and said, we should, this is his pia de taire, this is his summer home, we should add taxes to it. So just before you point at people's homes and say, this is the villain, be careful, folks, because then if something does happen to that person, like, you know, what happened to Sam Altman this week, you can feel however you want about him, but nobody deserves to have their house fire bombed or shot at, period, full stop.
