Republican Florida Rep. Byron Donalds slammed New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Wednesday, saying he has no authority to impose “international law.”
Mamdani doubled down on his vow to enforce the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits the city, repeating the position he announced before his election. Appearing on “Kudlow,” Donalds said Mamdani will take an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and New York’s own laws when sworn in.
“Mamdani, I think, came out the other day and said that New York City is going to follow international law. Who the hell is he? He does not have the authority to do that,” Donalds told host Larry Kudlow. “When he gets sworn in as the next mayor of New York, he’s still in that oath going to pledge allegiance to the Constitution to protect the laws of the city of New York and of the United States. That’s part of the oath.”
Donalds added that the progressive lawmaker’s vow to ignore U.S. law in favor of international law shows exactly what happens when voters elevate an untested radical with no record of real work or governance.
“What is this guy doing? This is what happens when you elect a radical who’s never had a job, who’s never done anything constructive in his life except be in the New York Assembly and go on TikTok. Now you got a guy who’s saying that New York City won’t follow the laws of the United States. It will follow international law. That is insanity. So, unfortunately, this is going to come to a conflict, politically and legally, and Zohran Mamdani is going to lose,” Donalds added.
Donalds said voters across the political spectrum are alarmed by Democrats’ hard-left turn.
“They’re getting a lot louder. I’m not sure about larger because I think you have Democrat-registered voters in our country who love America, and they’re looking at this on the radical side of their party and saying, ‘This is crazy. I didn’t sign up for this,’” Donalds said.
Mamdani previously blasted Netanyahu, accusing him of waging “a genocidal war” in a message marking the anniversary of Oct. 7. While he briefly acknowledged Hamas’ “horrific war crime,” he shifted quickly to faulting Israel and said that the United States “has been complicit through it all.”
Mamdani campaigned on an aggressive left-wing agenda that would cap housing costs, mandate a $30 hourly wage and introduce city-operated food markets and transit options. He also pledged to boost taxes on high earners and major companies while launching a new unit of social workers to handle non-violent emergency calls in place of police.

Not yet.
So Mamdani is trying to get some cops in the NYPD to retire (and move to Florida) so he can replace them with his buddies.
Netanyahu’s body guards might not let that happen.
>>Netanyahu would not be flying into NY any time soon. DC maybe.
Perhaps he should, just to make a fool of Mamdani and show his contempt.
Cops follow who pays their pensions. We learned this during COVID...
Maybe some of us forgot???
Lies, lies, & more lies. That’s what New York City residents will be getting. Voted for their very own ruin.
The first few minutes of the first cities (and then states) to declare they were “sanctuaries” they should be have been stopped cold.
Weak, passive permissiveness to allow them to go on has spread to worse outcomes.
“Sanctuary” is no different than organized crime saying they won’t follow any laws and will obey the heads of the “families” and that’s all.
Mamdani will not ever try to arrest another Head of State without authority provided by US law.
American will start throwing bacon at muslims.
Watch.
