Socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani was chased out of Lower Manhattan by a serial City Hall gadfly who slammed him as an “antisemite” — and got into a shoving match with the politician’s staffer.
The enraged protester, identified by sources as Raul Rivera, 55, of the Bronx, followed Mamdani as the pol was ushered by security into his waiting SUV, video of the encounter shows.
Rivera — who was arrested in June for allegedly biting a Mamdani campaign volunteer — shouted and cursed as Mamdani ignored him and climbed into the vehicle, the footage shows.
Mamdani had been in Foley Square for a protest where he and other lefty pols and activists stood in support of state Attorney General Letitia James as she faces federal charges of bank fraud and making a false statement to a financial institution.
“Antisemite! Denounce Sharia law! Denounce Hezbollah! You can’t do it!” shouts Rivera, while, Mamdani with his back turned, approaches the black SUV.
“Walk the narrow or you’re going to jail with Tish!” he screams before Mamdani enters the vehicle.
A member of Mamdani’s team intervened after Rivera walked too close to the vehicle and shoved him away after the agitator screamed Mamdani is a “f–king rat.”
The much-shorter Rivera, sporting a baseball cap worn backwards, pushes the man back several times while holding what appears to be a President Trump flag, repeatedly yelling “Get the f—k off me, bro!”
Public advocate Jumaane Williams, who was not engaged in the mayhem, approached the camera to capitalize on the attention.

How come the crazies only shoot people like Charlie Kirk?
After that Tv clip where he nearly was able to do part of a pushup and got 10% of the way up for one pullup at the gym that day, his punch might have brought the rejoinder:
“You hit like a girl.”
Mamdani: “You think you got problems? I think I just broke a nail.”
If thi @ss wipe wins, New Yorkers deserve what they get,
Mamdani’s evasive and sneaky replies to direct questions are like the replies of Hakeem Jeffries, Pelosi and that horrible Katie Porter. Changing the subject, stating the obvious description of the situation and never answering.
Asked recently why Jewish voters should vote for him if he doesn’t denounce terrorist by Hamas on October 7th he replied” “The people of New York, all New Yorkers, want me to cut grocery prices by my plan and to represent all of New York, all people living here.”
The misguided Jewish woman he referenced wore a shirt “I’m For A Shmear, Not a Smear” meaning a spread of cream cheese on a bagel instead of harsh things against her hero Mamdani.
Isn’t this what is called, “speaking truth to power”?
1000%.
Hope that sh!t hole collapses!
Good on this brave guy!!
Call out that scumbag!!
He is an effing rat!
One protestor chased him out of a park?
Sounds like a publicity stunt so he can cry victim of a violent attack.
Socialists that hate Jews used to be called “Nazis.”
Today we call them “Democrats.”
Shame he didn’t take the punch
Reminiscent of Mussolini getting the trains to run on time.
