The exchange exploded when Hannity continued to press the ex-mayor on the new far-left candidates\u2019 positions on local issues facing the city \u2014 which\u00a0de Blasio continued to dodge. <\/p>\n

Instead, de Blasio kept trying to steer the conversation to the Middle East.<\/p>\n

The former Big Apple leader said controversial democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier\u2019s stunning primary victory over 5-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat was fueled by her speaking out \u201cagainst what America has been doing in the Middle East,\u201d because \u201ca clear majority of Americans do not think we should be in a war with Iran,\u201d including Republicans.<\/p>\n

\u201cA clear majority of Americans think that what the [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu government has done in Israel to the Palestinian people is wrong,\u201d he said as Hannity began to interrupt.<\/p>\n

\u201cWait, wait, wait. Let me finish!\u201d de Blasio yelled.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not talking about Israel. No, no, no. We\u2019re not talking about Israel,\u201d Hannity fired back, as de Blasio asked for the anchor to give him a moment to finish.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. We\u2019re talking about [how Avila Chevalier] wants to abolish the police, she wants no borders, she wants illegals that commit murder and rape to not go to prison \u2014 and I\u2019m asking you, you were the mayor of New York City, I\u2019m asking you if you would vote for this lady and you\u2019re telling me yes? You\u2019d vote for this lunatic?\u201d Hannity asked.<\/p>\n

De Blasio responded yes and that he doesn\u2019t think Avila Chevalier, 32, is a lunatic, despite disagreeing with her on many issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed lefties and their anti-Israel message swept in three congressional districts in their neighborhoods, pro-Israel moderate Democrat Richie Torres (NY-15) maintained his working-class base\u2019s loyalty, securing 71% of the primary vote in his Bronx district.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Several Bronx constituents told The Post that lefty voters\u2019 focus on Israel came at the detriment of bread-and-butter issues impacting them.<\/p>\n

Erickson Vargas, 23, who works in an appliance store, said some of the young, educated voters brought their causes to the election, but he argued they should be thinking locally, not focused on foreign countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should be focused locally and not on the Middle East,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir hearts are in the right place but the focus is wrong. They are not invested in this country, only in their cause.\u201d<\/p>\n
