In a surprising departure from usual partisan rhetoric, prominent Republican figures, including Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene and political commentator Tucker Carlson, have extended rare praise to New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, acknowledging his grassroots-focused campaign strategy, even as they continue to oppose his political ideology.
Greene, who had earlier shared a doctored image of the Statue of Liberty in a burqa in response to Mamdani’s rise, has since revised her stance. Speaking on Steve Bannon’s podcast, she said, “He really ran a campaign where he talked directly to the people… Even though his solutions are insane and socialist, he focused on their problems.”
She also took a swipe at Cuomo, labelling him a “dirty establishment Democrat” and praised Mamdani for offering “unique and smart” outreach.
Mamdani’s campaign, which includes proposals such as free buses and rent freezes, continues to draw criticism from conservatives. Still, the recognition of his campaign tactics from unlikely quarters underscores a rare moment of bipartisan acknowledgment in an otherwise divided political landscape.

Why do I get the idea that the central appeal is just hatred of the Jews?
It may be, but failures like Cuomo can’t keep hiding behind Israel. And Israel can’t just be your cop-out every time legit criticism is cast against corrupt politicians like him. That’s what gave rise to the likes of Mamdani in the first place. And his impending is quite unnerving.
Because the central appeal is hatred of the Jews.
I have MTG fatigue. Way too volatile and inconsistent
impending victory*
to hell with these two grifters
Who knew running against a Nursing Home Killer and a Republican in schiffhole NYC is a really low bar?
/s
I don’t dismiss her because one thing she is consistent on is blue collar kitchen table concerns…Which is not my forte. But she repeats what I hear from those who are.
Why is MTG weighing in on the NYC mayoral campaign?
She does not have a clue. She is so obnoxious
This mamdani guy has no clue about NYC. He’s never had a job. He is a Marxist
NYC problems? Their problems are crime and invasion. They cannot afford to live there. No way does this guy fix or even address any of that
The whole thing isn’t even a race. Cuomo? Sliwa? They’re both proven to be non winners? Ask them how they decided to enter this race.
Ask mamdani the last time he went to the Bronx to watch the Yankees. Or when he plans to go. He never will he hates America and all that is good in it
Ask him his favorite pitcher for the Yankees. From any time in history
I can say Mariano Rivera off the top of my head and I live in Texas. I can say Luke weaver
He can’t. Not that he’s not smart enough to remember info his staffers feed him but anyone who hates the US will refuse to participate in baseball
Ask him his favorite pizza place. This is a common question. Last time I had business to attend to w my family we were together in a rare moment. Most from out of town, in the house we grew up in. We were going to call for delivery. One of us asks the one who still lives ther- who has the best pizza? Oh. DeRaimos. Joey D delivers it himself stops in to say hello
Mamdani doesn’t have any story like this. He doesn’t know New York
He’s not there to help any New Yorkers. They’re going to be paying more for the
People who want things for nothing. It’s what he does himself.
The working stiffs out in the suburbs will pay more. The city will get more neglected
And no one will get wiser because the media and ignorant politicians like MTG will cover for this guy and blame republicans
“He really ran a campaign where he talked directly to the people”
Perhaps the same could be said of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Castro and so on. Is she is saying he has effective techniques? That’s hardly an endorsement.
“ I don’t dismiss her because one thing she is consistent on is blue collar kitchen table concerns…Which is not my forte. But she repeats what I hear from those who are.”
This election is so rigged. More than half the ‘kitchen table’ people in NYC are immigrants. Few are legal. Crime is insane. The subways unusable. Cuomo is running he knows he’ll lose. Sliwa has already lost a mayoral campaign. He knows he’ll lose. Call him Perot
Please. mTG has zero idea about NYC
“He really ran a campaign where he talked directly to the people”
Perhaps the same could be said of Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Castro and so on. Is she is saying he has effective techniques? That’s hardly an endorsement.”
The same has been said of Hitler, Mussolini, and likely the rest
mTG sounds ignorant.
What you say is both true and important. However, there are constructive actions that can be taken. For example, reducing the cost of energy. The interesting thing is that most constructive actions by government consist of doing less. When government gets out of the way, the human environment usually improves.
Didn’t Reagan’s policies improve cost of living from Carter’s inflation era, etc…
The Democrat Party establishment is completely moot now. AOC, Mamdani, with Bernie Sanders as the elder…they are the new American Left going forward…
Just like Maduro in Venezuela
Here's a picture of a soon-to-be Mamdani grocery store in NY...
and self loathing liberal Jews, which are plenty here in the northeast, are largely responsible...
They’re moot, only in some areas. They’ll run NYC and they own the mainstream media.
If you listen to Bannon’s show he plays their comments The hypocrisy and lies, the propaganda people hear and believe from these people is amazing.
But they’re on their way out. I don’t know how much NYC will survive
MTG should stop nosing around in it.
