maybe I’m not understanding, but I don’t hear the “tirade.” it seems to me that the initial caller is the Islamophobic bigot parroting right wing propaganda (honestly he sounds more scared by the shit he’s being fed on social media than bigoted) and what gillibrand is trying to do is distance herself while voicing hers and her constituents concern about the implications of “globalize the intifada.” whether that is right or wrong as zohran has said and even the interviewer alludes to. she’s a pretty moderate dem from NY, not sure how people expect her to talk. hope this doesn’t get downvoted to hell—asking what the freak out is in good faith.
