The likely next mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is, as President Donald Trump put it, a “100% Communist lunatic,” and so you won’t exactly be dumbfounded to learn that his advisors are a rogue’s gallery of political hacks and psychopaths the likes of which have not been seen since Chairman Mao sat down for a tete-a-tete with his fellow cultural revolutionaries. It’s clear that one way or another, once this clown moves into Gracie Mansion, New York City is in for it: skyrocketing crime, an inundation of illegal migrants, bankruptcy, the destruction of the city’s economic base — all that and more is on the table.
Fox News reported Thursday Mamdani’s “growing circle of influence is littered with activists who have espoused anti-Israel views and socialist principles as he attempts to dispel the narrative that he is too ‘radical’ to run the nation’s largest city.” Yeah, these advisors show that he is indeed far too radical to be mayor of New York, but that’s not likely to keep him from being elected.
Among those advisors is Murad Awawdeh, president of the New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC), which advocates ending “state support for detention, deportation, and mass incarceration.” Awawdeh insists that illegal migrants “deserve” healthcare, presumably at the expense of the American taxpayer. He has also ranted: “NO LISTEN… SEEKING ASYLUM AT THE BORDER IS A LEGAL RIGHT. ASYLUM SEEKERS ARE FLEEING FOR THEIR LIVES FROM VIOLENCE, PERSECUTION, & IMPACTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE. THE U.S. HAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE REFUGE. #WelcomeWithDignity”
A legal obligation to provide refuge for anyone fleeing any kind of difficulty? Do tell. Anyway, NYIC has “taken in $175,000 from the sprawling George Soros nonprofit network,” and if that connection of Soros to Mamdani is too tenuous for you, there is plenty more. Fox News reported on Aug. 14 that “A former top executive for liberal billionaire George Soros’ Open Society Foundations (OSF) between 2017 and 2020 is back in the spotlight amid reports highlighting his involvement with Zohran Mamdani’s New York City mayoral campaign and connecting Obama world to the campaign.”
The Soros exec in question is Patrick Gaspard, an old political hand on the left; the first campaign he worked on was Jesse Jackson’s 1988 presidential run. Gaspard “has served in several high-profile political positions, including advising former President Barack Obama’s historic 2008 campaign, serving as the Democratic National Committee’s executive director, and being tapped as the Center for American Progress (CAP) president in 2021.”
Now Gaspard has moved on from Obama to Mamdani. A fawning July 1 New York Times report on Mamdani revealed that Gaspard, whom the Paper of Record described as “an adviser to mayors and presidents” without mentioning the Soros connection, “quietly helped guide Mr. Mamdani.”
Patrick Gaspard is largely responsible for helping to propel Mamdani from being a minor candidate in a crowded field to defeating Andrew Cuomo, who had gone into the Democratic primary as the front-runner. If he was worried about any other candidate, it was city comptroller Brad Lander, who was the left’s standard-bearer before Mamdani’s precipitous rise to the top. When Mamdani gained attention by screaming at border czar Tom Homan over efforts to detain and deport illegal aliens, and gained the support of far-left New York State Senator Gustavo Rivera, Gaspard prevailed upon Lander to meet with him and Mamdani.
The Times notes that “the day before the final debate, Mr. Lander and Mr. Mamdani sat down at Yara, a Lebanese restaurant in Midtown, with campaign aides and Mr. Gaspard. Over plates of fattoush, hummus and eggplant, the two candidates decided they would cross-endorse each other to defeat Mr. Cuomo…. The two men discussed how Mr. Lander could use his campaign funds to attack Mr. Cuomo in the race’s final days, and when they took the debate stage the next day, they teamed up to highlight the allegations of sexual harassment that ended Mr. Cuomo’s governorship.” Mamdani, of course, rather than Lander, was the principal beneficiary.
Mamdani’s team also includes Cea Weaver, a fellow member of the Democratic Socialists of America who “advises the mayoral hopeful on housing issues, including Mamdani’s plan to ‘freeze’ the rent.” Weaver has experience of a sort in this field, as she is “the former coalitions director of Housing Justice for All, a group that counts dozens of radical far-left groups as coalition members, including the Communist Party of the United States of America and the New York Young Communist League.” Weaver herself has written “Elect more Communists” and “Seize private property.” Ah, if only Pol Pot were running for mayor of New York!
Then there are Faiza Ali, formerly of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), and Maya Handa, who “has a long history of anti-Israel controversy including last yearwhen he defended the phrase ‘from the river to the sea,’ which is widely interpreted as a call for the elimination of Israel.” It’s widely interpreted that because that’s exactly what it is.
So Mamdani has surrounded himself with people who are just as radical and dangerous as he is. And yet he will almost certainly be the next mayor of New York. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
Mamdani selects his advisors from the very bottom of the Dumpster that even Rats and Snakes would avoid and Vultures stay away from lowlife scum like them
Zohran Mamdani sure is a handsome devil. Many politically correct women will surely become beguiled by him.
Mamdani is also a very good speaker, The speeches he sound very convincing to uninformed , his false and empty promises along lying words will sway man people to vote for him
The result of such folly will be tragic.
Satan hath the power to take on a pleasing form.
Moron mamdani only pleases NYC retards. The type of “people” who go to Starbucks and the stock market and jerk off in public like the homeless derelicts who own the subways there, along with the legions of rats. If he were running in CA, we’d hang him by his tiny islamic rat balls.
NYC. It deserves what it’s done to itself. Stew in your crime, hopelessness and shit. I hope it gives you a warm feeling as the usual suspects climb through your windows to murder you. Ollie okbar, mother fuckers. You did it to yourselves and NONE of us feel sorry for your asses.
Hey I go to Starbucks. I like the double smoked bacon sandwich. But essentially you are 100% correct
Double smoked bacon sandwich? That sounds good. As long as it has some mayo. There are a couple of Starbuck’s within walking distance of my place. (Parking is close to impossible.)
And I admit I bought a bag of Starsucks coffee yesterday because it was the only brand that had Sumatran, and Sumatran is very good.
I don’t think the sandwiches come with mayo because they are pre=packaged. But I guess you can always add your own.
Earlier in my teaching high school in NYC, one of the teachers said to me, “Communism may have collapsed in the Soviet Union but it’s alive and well at this high school.” Another teacher came to a meeting expressing exasperation over how badly the U.S. treats North Korea. I also taught p/t at local NYC colleges, and various profs were openly leftist extremists.
I’m sure there will be Jews that will vote for Mandani, the major antisemite.
It is very obvious that Zohran Mamdani will turn against his stupid Jewish supporters in New York and the rest of the Jewish Community. He will tax them the worst and will NOT allow any police protection for them as his criminal operatives go into their neighborhoods. Mamdani will restrict the police from doing their jobs to protect the public. He also will allow violence and killing in Churches, Schools and everywhere else as he makes his Communist polices for allowing mass pogroms ruling all 5 boroughs.
My son the “progressive” tells me that Momdani is favored by the poor and disenfranchised. He’s wrong again. It is the overeducated, wealthy liberal, often Jewish, that thinks Momdani’s claptrap is good policy. This is the one election outside of Israel where the Jewish vote could totally swing the outcome, if the Jews were able to unite against this Jew-hating communist. But no, the left-leaning bulk of the Jewish population will vote for this monster, either actually believing in his horrible doctrine, or more likely, so programmed to follow their Democratic/Marxist betters that they don’t think about it at all. If he’s elected, Jews will eventually (hopefully) see their folly and will leave NYC en masse, along with the “rich” that were supposed to fund all the “free stuff”.
As one said it.
JEWS DON’T BUY AN UMBRELLA BECAUSE IS CLOUDY OUTSIDE. HE WAITS UNTIL STARTS POURING AND HE GETS SOAKED.
I hope NYC Jews wake up before is too late.
If Zohran Mamdani would actually become the next mayor of New York City result would be a disaster for NYC to the extent that he would be such a calamity for that entire city that the damage would , most likely, be completely irreversible.
As Abraham Lincoln had ,rightly , said “You can’t unscramble eggs.”
Please stop calling him a Communist as that is – believe it or not – an insult to Communists, many of whom in the 1930s and 1940s DID FIGHT FASCISM.
No, Mamdani is a NAZI OF COLOR and all of his advisers are either Nazis of Color as he is or just plain Plantation Slaves of Islam. Stupid Blacks who have no brain matter or if they knew anything about the Black African experience under Islam would run fast and as far away from Islam as they possibly could. All of the Blacks named above, Gaspard, Weaver, et. al., fall into this victricratic America is a Racist nation so picked up by one Jeremiah Wright and his “nephew” – Cheetah as Hitler aka Barack Hussein Obama.
Now that Jew-hater is replaced by another Jew-hater who looks more like a Hamas terrorist than a Black Plantation Slave like Obama or Jeffries. And Cheetah’s, oops, Obama’s old NYC crowd is backing that clown. While stupid NYC Jews either shrug or incredibly support this POS who’d do them in. Unbelievable.
Sure glad I don’t live in the once Big Apple turned BIG GARBAGE DUMP.
So what color is moron Mandani? Poop brown? Dot head dot com Indians are white.
Jews are an interesting lot. How many times throughout history have they been an active party to their own destruction? Must be an Old Testament thing.
They always seem to vote for their own executioners as they are generally Democrats. It seems more voted for Trump this time around. I hope they don’t fall for MamiDami’s B.S.
If they do vote for this piece of excrement they will get Socialism good and hard. I hate to say it but Hitler had a point about Bolsheviks and Jews. Many of them came from the Soviet Union and migrated to Germany. It still didn’t justify the Holocaust.
I don’t know how you break this self inflicted psychosis. In his book Why Are Jews Liberal Norman Podhoretz explains that European Jews felt oppressed by Christian Monarchy in 19th C. Europe and took a liking to Marxism and communism, which they brought when they emigrated to the United States. Obviously it’s still a problem. Old voting habits die hard.
