Conservative activist Scott LoBaido was dead for two minutes after a confrontation with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at a pro-cop event on Tuesday ended in a heart attack — but he promised The Post not even a coronary could stop his crusade to keep the socialist away from the 25th anniversary of 9/11 at Ground Zero.
Even while recovering from his near-fatal heart attack — in which witnesses and friends said his heart stopped for two minutes and he had no pulse — LoBaido orchestrated a plane to fly around Manhattan on Friday with a banner bearing a warning to the mayor.
“Mamdandi [sic], stay away from Ground Zero,” the banner read.
“I’m trying to rest up, keep my blood pressure down, but the work must continue. As long as my heart is ticking, I’m not done,” LoBaido said Saturday through his manager Dan Caropreso.
The mayor has vowed to attend the 25th anniversary ceremony of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks, despite the vociferous opposition from many families of victims of 9/11.
LoBaido, an artist, delivered a similar, more colorful message directly to Mamdani shortly before his heart attack Tuesday.
“Stay the f--- away from Ground Zero!” LoBaido shouted at the mayor at the NYPD’s 43rd Patrol Borough National Night Out Against Crime on Tuesday.
Mamdani drew loud jeers and a barrage of profanities from attendees as he made his way up to the podium, social media videos show.
“Thank you to my brother, Scott LoBaido, a great artist, but we disagree on politics,” Mamdani said, according to a video shared with The Post. He spoke for less than a minute, wishing Staten Islanders a “Happy Night Out Against Crime” before being whisked off to the side.

Mandami is a terrorist not a stooge. Moe, Larry, and Curly were stooges, Mandami isn’t funny!
Please, Scott LoBaido, do not let this devil destroy you. Your life is more valuable than Mamdani.

Face it. The majority of the voters that supported Guiliani and were NYC residents in 2001 have long gone. Sorry its now Mamdani’s city and a place alien to decent Americans. The 25 th anniversary ceremonies regarding 9/11 will be celebrations, not patriotic memorials. Mamdani will be surrounded by hordes of cheering Muslims.
If he has the effrontery to show up at ground zero, everybody should turn their backs to him and/or boo him roundly.
Mamdandi isn’t going there to pay homage to those who died, he’s going there to celebrate...
He isn’t a fit candidate either. Not understanding why anyone but an outright subversive would vote for Mamdani.
He and any mussie.
You nailed it. A victory speech.
Mandami will celebrate the 3000 who died. And mourn the 15 who killed them.
how dare mamdani refer to Scott as “brother”
