Zohran Mamdani press conference abruptly ends with aide pulling him away during reporters questions

An endorsement event for Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor, came to an abrupt end Monday when he was pulled offstage by a campaign aide.

After accepting the American Federation of Musicians, Local 802's endorsement, Mamdani answered a few questions about former Gov. Andrew Cuomo deciding to stay in the race as an independent candidate and his upcoming meeting with House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.

About 20 minutes into the event, before Mamdani could continue answering reporters' questions, his campaign staffers stepped in to say: "I think we're done here. We're going to go. Come on. We're wrapping up, folks. Sorry folks. We're wrapping up."

But Mamdani stood by the podium, attempting to hear the reporters' questions over the chorus of campaign aides' voices, until the band on site for the event began playing "When the Saints Go Marching In." With a smile on his face, Mamdani was pulled away when a campaign aide grabbed his arm.

An endorsement event for NYC Dm mayor wannabe Zohran Mamdani came to an abrupt end when he was pulled offstage by a campaign aide.

Apparently journo questions about Cuomo deciding to stay in the race and Mamdani’s upcoming meeting w/ Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, were off-limits

A staffer cut him off saying: “I think we’re done here. We’re going to go. Come on. We’re wrapping up, folks. Sorry folks. We’re wrapping up.”

But Mamdani attempted to hear the reporters’ questions over the chorus of campaign aides’ voices. Then the band on site for the event began playing “When the Saints Go Marching In.”

......a smiling Mamdani was pulled away when a campaign aide grabbed his arm.

Jihad Mamdani is early years Barry Obama. He knows the outcome but needs help keeping his head down while getting there.

Nope. The union endorsed him.

You have to belong to the musician’s union to play anywhere around those parts. No choice, if you want to work.

“I can’t wait for NYC to collapse under this shit head.”

Wisdom is acquired through suffering, so said Mother Theresa.

Will NYC suffer and learn or will the rest of us bail them out?

After his shrieking dimwit called a lid, the dull eyed phoney looked at a reporter, who continued to ask questions, and flashed his fake smile while shrugging his shoulders - sending a non-verbal “Sorry, we’re done... What can I do?”

It was pathetic.
