There’s undeniable satisfaction in watching the exposure of numerous so-called “commie cosplayers” as their charades unravel — and the revelations just keep rolling in.
Take, for instance, DSA-NYC co-chair Gustavo Gordillo. Not only do his parents finance the extensive renovations of their $1.5 million property purchased for Gordillo and his brother in Bedford-Stuyvesant, but he is also employing non-union workers to carry out the project. Adding to the controversy, the local community board has expressed its disapproval of the renovation plans, criticizing the proposed “beach house” design as a stark contrast to the historic character of the area.
Moreover, Gordillo’s boastful claims about his membership in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) have recently fallen flat, as reports suggest he was suspended due to neglect in fulfilling his apprenticeship duties.
In a related issue, Gordillo allegedly failed to pay rent for three months to his landlord in Crown Heights, where he resided while awaiting his Bed-Stuy renovation’s completion.
Joining Gordillo in these questionable antics is Morris Katz, a campaign consultant with a penchant for supporting leftist candidates like Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Maine contender Graham Platner. Katz, too, allegedly left a trail of unpaid rent — to the tune of $14,000 — and vacated his Williamsburg apartment leaving it in complete disarray, scattered with trash.
“When you come from a rich family, you don’t have your priorities in order,” that building’s super, Felix Barbosa, told The Post.
We don’t think that’s true for all children from wealthy families, but it does seem to apply to a lot of them who turn into ultra-lefties.
Mamdani ally Tracy Rosenthal, who grew up in her Grammy-winning dad’s posh Manhattan crib, actually brags of bankrupting her landlord with a years-long rent strike.
That African immigrant lost the building to foreclosure, amid a sad saga that for a while had the city poised to take control.
That would’ve happened under a program Mamdani’s now boosting that can hand management over to one of the nonprofits that socialist theorizers like Cea Weaver (yet another child of the elite, though not so far as we know a deadbeat) imagine are the highway to housing heaven.
All this epic, sanctimonious selfishness is simply damning for a crowd that claims to be crusading on behalf of the underprivileged: It’s far worse than mere hypocrisy.
These seriously twisted menaces to society actually claim they’ve got the moral vision to remake it; what a wonderful crew to be running City Hall.
