Widows and grieving mothers of fallen NYPD hero cops aren’t buying mayoral contender Zohran Mamdani’s pro-police switcheroo.
Mamdani tried to make a clean break from his “defund the police” past on Wednesday as he privately visited with the family of NYPD Officer Didarul Islam, who was gunned down in the Midtown mass shooting by crazed gunman Shane Tamura.
“Now, when a police officer is killed he wants to say, ‘Oh, I support the police,’” Tatyana Timoshenko, the mother of slain NYPD Det. Russel Timoshenko, told The Post.
Timoshenko — whose 23-year-old son was shot and killed in 2007 while pulling over a stolen BMW — couldn’t shake Mamdani’s anti-cop past as the Democratic socialist reaffirmed his newfound support for police following his visit with Islam’s grieving relatives.
“This is breaking my heart all over again,” she said. “It’s the worst nightmare for the family right now. Our hearts go out to them.”
Grace Machate, the widow of Robert Machate — a 25-year-old NYPD officer who was shot and killed in 1989 — simply said that Mamdani would be “dangerous” for the city.
“Right now, he is saying everything that these young people want to hear,” she said.

My advice? ANY remaining Conservatives/Squishy Republicans (even the Trump Haters!) in New York City better get the hell out and VOTE!
Your life, and the lives of those you love, DOES depend upon it this time around!
Mamdani will say anything as his nose grows and grows
Wait...a lying commie?
The NY Liberal women buy this punk’s act completely and they are going to make him mayor bank it.
Just like Obeyme.
AWFLS’s are the bane of this country.
Indeed
I guess if they consent to being raped, it isn’t really rape.
Vivek Ramaswamy must be breathing a sigh of relief. He’s no longer the sleaziest, most insincere Indian-American politician on the scene.
After watching his press conference you know they are grooming him to be the next president in 2028 just like Obama. He’s a sick talker but a huge liar but the young idiot voters won’t hear that watching MSDNC or CNN
in his remarks upon finally returning to NYC, his appropriation of the grief of the Islam family followed by a condemnation of those who would use the tragic situation for political ends (!) was too much to take. he’s quite the snake.
An infidel killed a Muslim. Of course that’s a travesty in Mamdani’s eyes, from a purely tribal perspective. Should be the other way around.

All the MSM reporting stops after “mandami held the family of the deceased police officer in his arms”
They omit the muzzle connection
Would he offer the same compassion to the family of a deceased Irish cop?
Seriously.
The number of eligible voters who DON’T vote is appalling, and they are as responsible as if they pulled the lever for the democrat.
I’ve heard the same thing about CA. If all the registered gun owners got out and voted, they’d sweep the state and election fraud would be overwhelmed.
The Commie is a giant fraud.
Democrats lie- it’s what they do.
I hope that family told Mamadama exactly what they thought of him. He had a lot of nerve showing up with his cameras.
When this communist muslim is elected he’ll cut to the bone police and law enforcement funding...everyone knows. Liar
