Sid Rosenberg reacted to Fox & Friends Weekend co-host interrupting his description of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
On Saturday, the conservative radio host was speaking about the rise of antisemitism and how it is tied to violence against Jewish people in the United States, when he went off on the mayor without holding anything back.

The full segment on FOX this morning where I went after @NYCMayor. It includes the back and forth with me and @GriffJenkins which eventually led to FOX apologizing twice FOR me after I left! By the way I like Griff a lot:) pic.twitter.com/hef9LMRCoT

“Look, these people are very nice people, but trying to talk to Mayor Mamdani is is like trying to talk to the IRGC. This guy is a terrorist. That’s the bottom line, I’ll say it. You don’t want to say it, I’ll say it. He’s a terrorist, he’s a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people, he hates the Irish people, he hates the German people, unless you’re Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you. He is a horrible person,” Rosenberg said. “He maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. Those two people stabbed the other day on the Upper West Side of New York City, that blood is on his hands. That blood is on your hands, Mayor Mamdani.”
“We’ve got to find a way to get this guy out of here,” he concluded.
This resulted in Griff Jenkins later issuing something of an apology for the statements.
“We know there are heated feelings around this war. Last hour, while discussing the role anti-Israel is playing in the rise of antisemitism, one of our guests labeled New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a quote, terrorist. Now, that word carries an extremely serious meaning. It should not be used freely, and it’s important we distinguish between strong political criticism and factual allegations,” he said.

On Monday, Rosenberg addressed the moment and the clarification on his WABC radio show, Sid And Friends.
“I believe that somebody went in Griff’s ear and said, ‘Refute, refute, refute!’” Rosenberg said. “So then he jumped in, and I didn’t really give him the opportunity to because once he started, I went at him right away.”
“I also know that it was Fox News who made Griff Jenkins apologize, not once, but twice. You know Griff didn’t want to do that, even if he disagreed, he didn’t want to do that, but they made him do it,” he asserted.
