Anyone who who refuses to condemn allies who celebrate a cop-killer deserves your contempt, so note the reactions after various lefties hailed the late “great” Assata Shakur, a k a Joanne Chesimard, the convicted murderer of a New Jersey state trooper who spent the last half-century enjoying political asylum in Communist Cuba.

Consider the Democratic nominees for New York mayor and New Jersey governor: Zohran Mamdani refuses to condemn the Democratic Socialists of America for their sick social-media tribute to Shakur; Rep. Mikie Sherrill has simply been notably silent, even as incumbent Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy called the DSA tribute “shameful and depraved.”

And it seems American Federation of Teachers chief Randi Weingarten won’t slap down the union’s Chicago affiliate for honoring Shakur as a “revered elder of Black liberation.”

Randi’s too busy selling her Trump-is-a-fascist book.

On Instagram, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams called Shakur a “Freedom Fighter and Human Rights Icon.” Bronx Assemblyman George Alvarez also paid tribute: “Her life was marked by struggle, resilience, and a relentless fight against oppression”

Mamdani’s rumored choice to run NYC schools, ex-Rep. Jamal Bowman, last year justified his decision to glorify the fugitive cop-killer on a Bronx middle school’s “Wall of Honor” mural when he ran the Cornerstone Academy for Social Action. 

Chesimard’s Black Liberation Army — an even-more-extremist offshoot of the Black Panthers — was a Marxist-Leninist gang that spent the 1970s carrying out bombings, murders of police officers, bank robberies and even a skyjacking. 

Bad enough that a few rappers and far-lefties romanticize such monsters; worse that Mamdani, Sherrill, Weingarten and so on pretend it’s OK to treat them as heroes.

At least they’re telling us who they really are.
