Even the Reds are seeing red.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has succeeded in at least one thing during his fresh-faced administration — infuriating everyone, including his typically ride-or-die lefty buds, over his bald-faced lie that the City Council’s budget plan cuts services.
Peeved City Council members roundly ripped Mamdani after he used one of his slick social-media videos Wednesday to call out Speaker Julie Menin by name and wrongly portray her budget proposal — an alternative to his doomsday version — as slashing billions of dollars from city agencies.
“This is deeply misleading and potentially harmful! I thought these four years were going to be different,” Councilman Kevin Riley (D-Bronx) — an obviously disappointed Mamdani backer — posted on X.
Councilwoman Virginia Maloney (D-Manhattan) also served up a blistering online rebuttal of Mamdani’s assertions.
“I know math is hard, but the @NYCCouncil finance team did the work—digging into the details to find real solutions,” she wrote.
“The Mayor’s proposed City budget is a whopping $127 billion. The City’s not broke, we’re just badly managed. And we can balance this budget responsibly without putting our long-term fiscal health at risk.”
The furious backlash led the thin-skinned mayor to then fire off irked texts to a council member complaining about the critical social-media posts, sources said.

Another failed experiment in Communism.
The Zero Qualified always get the job done ,LOL
How about a coup to make him the king of the U.S.?
the city council is full of islamophobes
In the Marxist Leninist democRAT/DemoKKKrat playbook, anything under a 10% increase is called a cut.
Such a surprise. Completely unexpected.
Mamdani inserts leftist researcher into historically non-partisan budget office
WHAT IS THE OVER & UNDER ON HIS REMOVAL???
Absolutely agree. I’m SHOCKED.
The leftists on the city council hated Rudy worse. This guy is not getting removed. They are, after all, not mean old practical conservatives. I mean Nazis.
They voted for his communist jew hating, hamas loving ass so they can choke on it
Looks like things are starting to get exciting now.
“WHAT IS THE OVER & UNDER ON HIS REMOVAL???”
How would you structure an over/under?
Next time, NYC'ers will endeavor to elect someone even more communist.
so nice to see a circular firing squad running NYC ...
let’s all hope that mamdani continues to double down on his vituperative attacks on his erstwhile allies whenever they don’t bend the knee ...
You could probably go on Polymarket and make a market for his removal, offer a contract or contracts at various points in time in the future on the date of his removal, let the market decide how long they think he will remain in office.
I spoke to soon, I just searched Polymarket and you can already bet on the time when Mamdani will be out of office.
Right now about 8% of the market thinks he will be out before the start of 2027.
10% of the people think his citizenship will be revoked before 2027.
