In case anyone still is unsure of who and what zohran mamdani is about, Hugh Fitzgerald’s article for frontpagemag.com, titled “Twenty-One Things to Know About Zohran Mamdani” will get you up to speed.
Here are just a few of the 21:
Mamdani is a salon Bolshevik. His mother is Mira Nair, a millionaire movie director. It was Mira Nair who tried to have the actress Gal Gadot banned from the Oscars because she is Israeli.
Mamdani has repeatedly refused to say that Israel, as the state of the Jewish people, has a right to exist. During an event hosted by the UJA-Federation of New York last month, Mamdani declined to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state.
Mamdani has called for the defunding of the police. Already the NYPD is greatly understaffed. How, then, will the 8.3 million citizens of New York be protected from street robberies, home burglaries, shoplifters, murderers, rapists, e tutti quanti? Does he have another way of assuring the safety of persons and property? Has he stumbled upon a solution to control crime that no one in history has yet discovered? He should tell us, now, just what his plan is. We’re all ears.
Zohran Mamdani has no executive experience. He has been a member of the New York State Assembly, a legislative body, only since 2020.
Mamdani wants to make New York City buses free. No wonder bus riders in the city voted for him. Such a policy would cost the city annually about $780 million. Mamdani has not explained how he would make up that shortfall. He could increase taxes on the very rich, more of whom will then move out of the city altogether, and perhaps out of state, to Connecticut or New Jersey, shrinking the NYC tax base still further.
Want to see all 21 (and I certainly hope you do)? You’ve got the link – here it is again. Please read them all, and understand what New York City voters – that’s right New York City voters – may well be electing their Mayor in November.
If so, I hope they remember that they will have gotten exactly what they voted for. Because I don’t want to hear any “if I had only known” laments afterwards.
