Laughable. Nutcase GOP Freaks Over Activist Who Claims Wrongful Conviction on Mamdani Team. Republicans are melting down over lived experience at the table — and exposing how hollow their “law and order” talk really is. A GOP backlash erupted after an activist with lived experience in the criminal legal system was named to Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. Critics fixated on past incarceration and claims of wrongful conviction, triggering a wave of right-wing panic and smear tactics. Supporters pushed back, arguing that people closest to the problem bring the most credible solutions to public safety and reentry. The fight reveals how quickly “rehabilitation” support collapses when it actually works. 🔥 Republicans launch a smear campaign over an activist appointment to Mamdani’s transition team. 🔥 The activist says they served their time and now work in community safety and reentry. 🔥 Critics erupt despite long-standing calls for rehabilitation and second chances. 🔥 Supporters argue lived experience brings credibility politicians lack. 🔥 The backlash exposes fear, not facts, driving the outrage. #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork #Mamdani #RightWingPanic #CriminalJustice #Reentry #SmearExposed Mamdani, Zohran Mamdani, criminal justice reform, wrongful conviction, reentry, GOP backlash, right wing panic, Roland Martin, Black Star Network We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

If we have a convicted felon as president why can’t we have someone who served there time and is reformed to be able to be in politics.

United States doesn’t want a convict to stay out of jail. They want them to return, by not giving them any chances in life.

This is so crazy. The United States has a convicted felony as the president of the United States. However, you have Republicans upset over this young man being on a committee.

Mysonne is perfect for this role. He’s lived a pretty colorful life, found himself in the system while claiming his innocence and we know this happens way too much in our community. If you want to connect with the youth you have to meet them where they are. Congratulations Mysonne you’ll do a great job!

The republican party can not say anything to what is in the White House.

So the president can be a convicted felon but no one who was in prison and has been rehabilitated and wanting to better society, they’re not qualified to sit on a panel and speak on his experience? Yeah this is ridiculous. Only in America.

I don't care what party it was. Let's talk about being humane and human. I am so sick of hateful , cruel, and this leader with dementia.
