Two far-left Mayor Zohran Mamdani-backed House hopefuls are plotting a socialist push in DC even before being elected — and it could cost the Big Apple more than $215 million in crucial anti-terror funds, sources say.
Leading Democratic Socialists of America candidates Darializa Avila-Chevalier and Claire Valdez have hatched a scheme with congressional “Squad” members to vote down the Department of Homeland Security budget next year as they try to help create a powerful bloc of socialists in office in the nation’s capital, according to insiders.
The anti-DHS plan would come at a cost to the local radicals’ de facto DSA leader Mamdani, who has pushed for the funding and would have to answer for his comrades stripping New York City of the more than $215 million in counter-terrorism grants — but the radicals don’t care, the sources noted.
“They are trying to figure out how to hurt DHS even if it costs NYC millions [of dollars],” a source fumed.
“They don’t care what it costs NYC. They are there to make a point.”
A rep for Valdez claimed in an email to The Post on Sunday, “This reporting is wholly inaccurate and any anonymous source describing Claire’s plans for Congress is misinformed, lying or both.”
Avila-Chevalier and Valdez are expected to sail to victory come November after securing wins in primaries earlier this year.
Avila-Chevalier is seeking a House seat repping parts of Manhattan and The Bronx, while Valdez, a state assemblywoman who represents portions of Brooklyn and Queens, hopes to win a congressional seat for that area.

Democrats turn down free money?............Riiiight.......
They don’t want money? okay
Almost 4 years until next election so Mamdammit can do a lot of damage until being voted out. But only NYC voters can decide whether they’re happy with him or as disgusted with him as sane people are.are.

Let them block it. It probably wouldn’t go to terrorist prevention anyway, but laundered to liberal bullshit.
Why would Dems Avila-Chevalier and Valdez block "crucial NYC terror funding" unless they were hoping for some kind of NYC terror?
They well may get their wish, but the bombs and flames may also fry a few of their body parts.
