Mumbling Zohran Mamdani serves up word salad instead of straight answers to pressing NYC issues in recent spate of interviews

He’s mumbling Mamdani.

Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani dodged straightforward questions Monday on pressing issues facing the Big Apple — capping off days of mealy-mouthed politician speak that insiders argued showed the charismatic candidate’s shine is wearing off.

The frontrunner in the mayoral election only had gobbledygook to offer on a range of topics during the public safety forum at Columbia Journalism School, even when simply asked if he supported school safety agents working in the city’s public schools.

“I think it is an indication of this broken status quo that we have many schools where they will have a school safety agent, but they will not have a nurse or a social worker… and I’ve been critical of that approach to our school system,” he droned to moderator Errol Louis.

The forum — hosted by the journalism school and the news outlet Vital City — came after a spate of weekend media interviews in which Mamdani gave similar non-responses.

The substance-free streak shows Mamdani is struggling to transition from the Democratic primary’s upset challenger to the responsibilities of being the top City Hall contender, political observers and consultants said.

“He is about to find out charisma and charm are not answers,” said one longtime political operative.

“Tough choices have to be made and as the young, inexperienced frontrunner – he doesn’t want to make them. It’s understandable, but not necessarily acceptable.”

A lying muslim marxist? No way. A cult that demands followers lie to the infidel to spread their jihad and a political philosophy that must lie to the stupid to spread the dogma. Can Satan even keep up with the lies of those two rotten philosophies?
