The Issue: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s socialist, anti-police, antisemitic record.
Zohran Mamdani seems reminiscent of politicians from the past: those who would promise certain actions to gain voter support, while their past rhetoric suggests the opposite approach (“Zohran tells rich to Grin & $hare it,” July 16).
He has already fooled that idiot Rep. Jerrold Nadler into endorsing him.
It might not be long before Sen. Chuck Schumer, aiming to secure his seat against the challenge from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, backs Mamdani and proclaims him a supporter of Israel.
They are all phonies and liars of the first degree.
You simply cannot believe a word that comes out of their mouths.
The next thing they say will be that Mamdani really loves the Jewish people and that he is going to convert to Judaism.
The problem is that some Jews in New York City would probably believe it.

Should Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries decide to support mayoral hopeful Mamdani, it might be time to reconsider whether the “Democratic Party” needs rebranding as the “Socialist Party.”

It’s ironic that Mamdani is campaigning against unaffordable housing, high grocery prices, poor education and high costs of living when all those things are the result of Democrats’ policies.
They have employed a huge number of unnecessary, unproductive bureaucrats, who have produced destructive regulation, thus creating corruption, costly delays for business and high taxes.
They also created the most expensive failed education system in the world.
Mamdani is selling “snake oil,” claiming he can solve the unaffordable housing crisis by simply repeating the Democratic failed system of regulation, high taxes, unaffordable housing and pushing out the city’s productive, wealthy taxpayers.
In addition to that, Mamdani and much of the left essentially support Hamas and its antisemitic policies.

We’re about 100 days out from the election and the talking heads act like the New York City mayoral election has been called and Mamdani has won.
After the last few presidential elections, I do not know how anyone is confident about a pick right now.
The city appropriately has a wide field coupled with a frustrated electorate — it’s anyone’s game.

Democrats should be worried about Mamdani.
He’s like a snake-oil salesman: full of charm but his platform is for the radical left.
Defunding the police appeals to insurrectionists, lawbreakers and those who lack common sense.
And that’s just one of his off-the-wall ideas.
He talks about the rich like they’re dirt.
Well, to clue him in, that’s who will be paying for his giveaways.

To everyone wondering if Mamdani is a communist, there’s an old, old saying: If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

Mamdani the commie is right: Businesses will not leave New York City if he is elected mayor.
To make a terrible comparison, businesses are like a domestic-abuse victim who keeps returning to an abusive spouse, hoping to be treated better.
It’s not going to happen.

To understand who Mamdani is, one needs to look no further than at the people who tripped over each other to greet him in Washington, DC (“AOC’s party favor for her fellow lefty,” July 17).
The usual lefty lunatics: AOC, Bernie Sanders, Nadler, Pramila Jayapal, Ayanna Pressley and others are on the socialist bandwagon, swooning over him.
That should be all you need to know to conclude that Mamdani is a bad choice for New York City.

It’s time to get serious, New York; this lunatic Mamdani must and can be defeated.
Several hundred thousand voted for him, but there are millions who didn’t vote at all.
They must mobilize against him.
