Is Kathy Hochul Supporting Mamdani for Mayor or Not?
Townhall ^ | 6/27/25 | Rebecca Downs

Posted on 06/30/2025 5:11:04 PM PDT by Libloather

After Tuesday's primary, Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani is that much closer to serving as New York City's next Democratic mayor, especially after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded. That Mamdani is a far-left socialist who has concerning views on a whole host of issues puts his fellow Democrats in a tricky place. Many still offered words of praise, though, including fellow New York Democrats like Gov. Kathy Hochul and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. As it turns out, though, Hochul doesn't look to be ready to back Mamdani after all, though.

"Today, voters made their voices heard, demanding a more affordable, more livable New York City. I hear them loud and clear," Hochul claimed just past midnight on Wednesday morning. Her post also tagged Mamdani and offered that he "built a formidable grassroots coalition," adding, "I look forward to speaking with him in the days ahead about his ideas on how to ensure a safe, affordable, and livable New York City."

Given how Mamdani has spoken at length about city-owned grocery stores, freezing the rent, plans for "free" childcare and buses, as well as defunding the police, Hochul perhaps shouldn't put too much stock in Mamdani's ideas on these areas.

By Thursday, though, the governor appeared hesitant to fully commit to supporting Mamdani. NY1 Bernadette Hogan's shared a clip of Hochul's remarks over X, which were also included in reporting from POLITICO, "Mamdani pivots to the general."

Hochul repeated some of the same sentiments in her post, when asked by a reporter if she would support Mamdani's campaign, though this time she had more so say. "Obviously, there’s areas of difference in our positions. But I also think we need to have those conversations. In the meantime, I truly am not focused on the politics."

“As it turns out, though, Hochul doesn’t look to be ready to back Mamdani after all, though.”

No surprise that she HATE MUSLIMS. After all, most Democrats are RACIST...when they’re not faking otherwise.

(how to exploit her trying to have it both ways)

There is no such thing as a Marxist moslem. The Marxism part is just kabuki theater for the stupid ignorant masses in NYC that vote straight-line Democrat. As President Erdogan of Turkey once said...Islam is Islam. There is no Marxism in Islam. Remember, moslems engage in taqiyya. In the end you'll find out he's a moslem to the core and the Marxist schtick is just there to create a pathway to office.

The old guard Democrat gerontocracy hate Mamdani and privately want him to lose but they know if they're seen as hobbling him, they'll reap the wrath of legions of young voters who support Mamdani enthusiastically.

They're still licking their wounds after watching so many "Bernie Bros" slide over to Trump after the establishment tossed Sanders to the curb in favor of Hillary.

This "litmus" test must be asked of every democrat. No weaselly responses. A yes or no.

Where are all the propaganda media critters asking every Democrat politician… Do you disavow. …. And then quote one of their own nominee’s Marxist positions. The most obscure Republican in the country could say something the media didn’t like and every other Republican interviewed would be asked… Do you disavow? I guess the propaganda media forgot about that line of questioning.

I want to see the Dems squirm. Writhing.

I am triggered now every time I see a brief glimpse of Schumer, Van Hollen, Nicole Wallace, Joy Reid and the rest.

Have to hold myself down through will power.

Can we tell if a Dem is lying?

See if their lips are moving.

I agree. Obama is also a master of Taqiyya but he is a dedicated Marxist/Maoist.
