Zohran Mamdani routinely plays the tough guy — threatening to be President Donald Trump’s “worst nightmare,” snarling at ICE big Tom Homan like a leashed labradoodle — yet for all his bluster he somehow doesn’t have the stones to sit down with The Post.
We invited all the mayoral candidates to sit down with the Editorial Board this year to share their vision for New York City and answer some questions; nearly all accepted, but Mamdani’s campaign blanked us.
We called them; we emailed. After the primary, one flack suggested it might happen . . . but his team never reached out with a clear offer, not even with conditions such as insisting the full transcript be open to the public.
Post-primary, his campaign has occasionally gotten back to Post reporters with answers to specific questions, and even shared his schedule in advance; the candidate sometimes takes a Post question in one of those “scrums” — but the contact’s still been pretty minimal.
Maybe he didn’t want to face uncomfortable questions about his hollow economic program or his bizarre plans to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Or about his association with questionable characters such as Hasan Piker or Siraj Wahhaj.
Perhaps he just didn’t see how a sitdown with the Post Editorial Board could possibly help him — even though facing us down plainly would at least show some mettle; it might also alert him to some holes in his own thinking and/or knowledge, and so help avoid future problems as mayor he’d never otherwise foresee.
This isn’t simply about a relationship with The Post’s staff: Much more important, it’s about our readers, many of whom are among the roughly 50% of New Yorkers voting for some other candidate.

Ergo, he knows it's not a good idea to face anyone in the media who might ask him hard questions.
Like a homo trying to convince his abashed parents, his confounded world cannot be examined.
In order to eventually get rid of bad, lousy government, it has to first be strictly enforced. Especially with someone like this.
Like all Islamists, he’s a weasel.
Leftists don’t converse - they lie and speak in Party-line platitudes....
I guess NYC idiots really do hate the NYPD. So much for law and order among the lawless
Under Mamdani, NYC will become a bastion of Iranian Shia 12er thought. Thee goal is to extinguish the entire human race, thus bringing ever one to Paradise.
Of course, Mamdani consort with a praises Islamic terrorists, who through their actions of slaughtering many fill the air with the scent of blood which when enough is in the air will bring the 12th Imam out of the Well [ in Qom, Iran ] he climbed into in 856 AD. He will the go on to slaughter every living human, including himself at the last.
The 12th Imam is Mamdani’s hero and spiritual guide.
The whole socialist thing is just a smokescreen.
“Snarling, like a leashed Labradoodle” lol!
“Snarling, like a leashed Labradoodle” lol!
He cant but ny’ers apparently dont care- they are 3mbracing someone who supports the same terrorists who hit us on 9/11
“Never Forget” apparently means “Remember for only a few years”
The bible proph3sied that christians in the 3nd times wil. Be beheaded by a force that has taken over. Radical islam has always been the religion of beheadings. Radical islam istrying to dominate the world, to move in and take over wherever they mass migrate to. That is their stated goal.
The bible zlso talks about a statue whos feet are made of clay mixed with iron, which weakens the iron 8n the feet, the fou dation of the statue, and it causes the statue to fall.
The interpretation is that nations will take in foreigners who are hostile to them, who refuse to assimilate, refuse to become citizens, and eho mix with the iron (citizens) until the nation is weakened from within.
We’ve lost large swaths of minesota and other states to radical islam, some areas blasting the call to prayer 5 times a day on loud speakers through the town. Those places no longer look or sound like America, but rather th3 middle east.
Down in texas, they are fighting to keep radical muslims from creating z suni or shiite run town that wants its own sharia law.
Ny is well on its way to becoming as lost a czuse as Minesotastan
The clay is mixing in with the iron, refusing to assimilate
I’m starting to lose hope for a Mamdani victory. I believe the fix is in for Cuomo to “win”.
