New York Democrats get annihilated with backlash after revealing which World Cup team they're rooting for

In a surprising twist, two New York Democrats have sparked controversy by declaring their support for a World Cup team other than the U.S. team. During a candidates' forum, Rep. Adriano Espaillat and his challenger Darializa Avila Chevalier revealed their preference for international teams, which has led to a wave of backlash. Critics argue that elected officials should represent their country's interests, while supporters suggest personal allegiances shouldn't overshadow political duties. This incident underscores broader debates about identity, loyalty, and the role of politicians in representing national pride.
