It appears that Marxist Zohran Mamdani might have more trouble winning the race to become mayor of New York City than he thought.
The Democratic nominee appeared to have been shoo-in for the race, having defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo. But then some interesting facts about his past went viral. He advocates communist ideas. He despises Israel. And he wants to raise taxes on the city’s “white neighborhoods.”
Late last week, he suffered another blow: The New York Times revealed that he lied on his application to Columbia University. An Indian born in Uganda, Mamdani claimed he is Asian and black.
The Times’ Story
The Times got right to the point in the first two paragraphs of its story:
As he runs for mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani has made his identity as a Muslim immigrant of South Asian descent a key part of his appeal.
But as a high school senior in 2009, Mr. Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, claimed another label when he applied to Columbia University. Asked to identify his race, he checked a box that he was “Asian” but also “Black or African American,” according to internal data derived from a hack of Columbia University that was shared with The New York Times.
Uh-oh.
A blogger called Cremieux shared that fact with the newspaper, it reported, but Mamdani readily admitted the ruse.
Mamdani told the newspaper that he considered himself neither black nor African-American, but instead “an American who was born in Africa.”
The Times reported:
He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process. (He was not accepted at Columbia.)

well, at least he is not stupid.
He’s going to win, anyway.
This “is he an African American because he came from Africa” is a minor issue.
He’s advocating overthrowing America, implying by force if necessary, and eliminating the existence of billionaires.
Not a nice person. Whatever is college application status.
He has the Little White Shits all wrapped up.
Deport him!
I really miss J Edgar Hoover. He would have a file a foot thick on this clown already.
He is a hardcore Communist who will destroy what is left of the Rotten Apple.
He'll win as long as he's running against Sliwa, Cuomo and Adams.
S/V Sequoia’s Shaun Maguire slammed for racist jibe at Zohran Mamdani:
said Mandami ‘Comes from a culture that lies’
This is the best they can do against him? Pathetic. I’d think less of any 17 year old who didn’t exploit every edge in the cynical and corrupt college admission game.
You can’t beat that kid on the dire state of his ideas … he deserves to win.
What a rank opportunist.......Mamdami will say or do anything to make himself look good.
Fooling nyc voters has him in a quandry......
will be fun to watch him invent ways to benefit himself while he goes after votes........
When he hears there’s 10 Eskimo votes out there he’ll be campaigning in ear muffs.
Americans CANNOT be born in Africa to non American parents.
Just like Elon.
Doesn’t Wall Street filks have enough money somewhere to influence public opinion to reject a Communist that threatens their existence.
Do North Korea, Zimbabwe, Cuba, Venezuela have vibrant stock markets?
Wanting to prove they’re woke?
Sad but probable.
Go Woke, Go... We know the rest.
(But they get invited to the most fabulous cocktail parties, I bet.)
