I don’t know. 

I just think this guy deserves a little more attention than he’s getting.

I mean, he’s awfully cute and perky for a socialist.

He sure doesn’t have a problem screwing with other people’s money.

And his name – Zohran Mamdani – catchy as all get out, no?

Check out his latest ad – you can see why he’s suddenly come from 40 points behind into damn near a tie with former governor Andrew ‘I Killed Your Gramma’ Cuomo.

And freezing rents is ‘insanely popular‘?!

Get out of Dodge!

And, well, he’s a cutie patootie!

SOLD!

Wait a minute – who’s the little wet blanket about ‘cutie patooties’ and fascists…although Che still shows up on a lot of t-shirts.

And I am kind of getting Iranian revolution vibes.With 'Free Palestine' Still In the Air, Check Out Who's Charging Into Second in NYC Mayor's Race 1

Those guys were sexy ’til they weren’t.

So who is this fresh-faced progressive Assembly member from Queens who likes other people’s property and money, and who has recently stolen several big-time endorsements right out from under Cuomo’s establishment schnozz?

Queens state Senator and former City Comptroller John Liu on Monday said he is backing Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani as his top choice in the Democratic mayoral primary despite their sharp disagreements on Israel.

Liu, who represents Flushing in Albany’s upper chamber, said during a June 2 City Hall news conference that he supports Mamdani because of their shared views on several issues and the lawmaker’s strong character. Mamdani is running in second place to former Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the crowded June 24 primary and appears to be closing the gap between them, according to a recent poll. 

The senator, who previously served as city comptroller between 2010 and 2013 and made an unsuccessful mayoral bid 12 years ago, added that he admires Mamdani’s focus on education for immigrant communities, view of early childhood education as an “economic engine,” and understanding of the need for public safety. He also praised Mamdani’s ability to come up with “practical policies” and make them understandable to New Yorkers as well as his “integrity.”

But wait a minute – ‘sharp differences on Israel’? Right now, the New York City mayor, Eric Adams, is a fierce defender of Israel and a staunch protector of the Jewish folks who live in his city.

Is Liu saying that Mamdani doesn’t share that fe…oh.

They’re calling this a ‘right-wing’ smear attempt on the delightful Mr Mamdani. I don’t see how it’s a ‘smear’ when it’s him saying it.

A consultant must have gotten ahold of him and whispered he should say something about ‘Israel’s right to exist’ or it could hurt his chances.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Thursday night declined to recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state amid pressure from anti-Israel activists.

During an event hosted by the UJA-Federation of New York, moderators peppered Mamdani with questions regarding his views on Israel, the ongoing war in Gaza, and antisemitism. When pressed, Mamdani refused to support the notion that Israel should maintain its Jewish character and seemingly suggested that all of its citizens do not have equal rights.

“I believe that Israel has a right to exist with equal rights for all,” Mamdani said in a carefully worded response, sidestepping the issue of Israel’s existence specifically as a “Jewish state.”

Mamdani’s response came nearly a week after he said last Friday, “I do support [Israel’s] right to exist as a state,” in response to a question.

And golly, Nell, didn’t he catch it from his more ardent supporters for the obviously insincere and politically expedient admission. 

I can almost smell the gasoline in the air from here, listening to the hate-filled vitriol, which the candidate doesn’t NOTHING to rebuke.

And you’re not supposed to judge someone solely on his friends, but…day-yum.

Linda Sarsour, Tlaib, and that doofus Fire Marshall Bowman?

Zohran doesn’t act as if he’s going to be big on enforcing immigration law, either, judging by his breathy theatrics when Tom Homan came to town.

Should Zohran Mamdani, God forbid, get elected mayor, if I had a child in any NYC university, they would be in a new school for the fall semester.

That place is going to be hell on earth with the destructive, violent, chanting watermelon children turned loose by the city administration.

He is a well-established anti-Semitic, anti-Israel crusader and a public poseur of the most poisonous kind.

Zohran Mamdani is the progressive candidate surging in New York’s Democratic mayoral primary. It’s difficult to get to that position as a progressive without being sufficiently hostile to the Jewish state, and Mamdani certainly checks that box. But this week he crossed a line that was staggeringly militant even in our current age of say-anything shock-jock politics.

To be clear, Mamdani has never been subtle about his extremism. He founded his alma mater’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, the campus pro-Hamas organization that has been most vocal in support of violence against Jews in the wake of the Oct. 7 attacks. Mamdani instituted a policy of “non-normalization,” meaning he would not allow the group to work with anyone who believed in the Jewish right to self-determination.

These days, Mamdani spends his time promising to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and getting fundraising help from the Democratic Socialists of America, which just endorsed the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington, D.C., outside the Capital Jewish Museum. A key campaign ally of his is Linda Sarsour, among the most infamous and virulent anti-Semites in the modern history of New York City politics.

As if all that weren’t enough, Mamdani, currently an assemblyman, refused to support a resolution condemning the Holocaust. When pressed on the move, his campaign manager made clear it was a campaign-related decision—essentially the product of a left-wing candidate running further to his left, banking on gaining more voters than he’d lose by refusing to take sides on the Holocaust. He has also attended rallies organized by Within Our Lifetime, whose founder has said, “I hope that a pop-pop [of a gun] is the last noise that some Zionists hear in their lifetime.”

Haven’t heard what the photogenic supporter of butchering psychopath thinks of the latest ‘Free, Free, Palestine‘ poster boy’s work, but I’d bet you an extra-large frozen rent cup that it won’t be a condemnation for scorching any Jews.

How many Jews in that city are going to vote for this guy is the other question.

SUCH A CUTIE PATOOTIE

Holy smoking bodies.
