Rich Socialist Zohran Mamdani Has a Rent-Controlled Apartment

Former New York governor Andrew Cuomo has gone full scorched earth in his independent bid for New York City mayor by publicly demanding that Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani relinquish his rent-controlled apartment.

Cuomo hit Mamdani where it hurts most: his privileged lifestyle amid a dire housing crisis.

Cuomo accused Mamdani and his wife of being “very rich,” pointing out their extravagant wedding celebrations across three continents, all while paying a mere $2,300 a month in rent. He hammered home the economic hypocrisy by asserting their combined income likely tops $200,000 annually, an outrage in a city where a single mother somewhere probably spent the night in a homeless shelter because Mamdani is occupying a rent-controlled unit she might otherwise have.

“You grew up rich and married an even wealthier woman,” Cuomo wrote in a post on X. “You’ve had weddings on 3 continents. You own property in LGTBQIA+ murderous Uganda. You make $142,000 a year plus stipends, and your wife works too, meaning you together likely make well over $200,000. No matter which way you cut it: Zohran Mamdani is a rich person.”

“Yet you and your wife pay $2,300 a month, as you have bragged, for a nice apartment in Astoria,” Cuomo continued. “That should be housing for someone who needs it.”

Cuomo’s post continued:

You think they care?

The Left would support Hitler, if he came out against Trump.

One may laugh, but this probably enhances his chance of winning.

[dfwgator]

He’s going to win, and will easily be re-elected.

What is the big deal with Mamdani being a “socialist” cough cough ‘communist’ ... Bernie Sanders almost took the Democrat nomination from the wicked Jezebelllll Hillry.... the majority of the humans alive on God's green earth today are in some shape fashion or form of socialist to communists...

The fact the US is still ‘free’, is a gift from the Heavenly Father... especially for those of US who believe and trust in HIM... These sewer rats are going down!!!

Cuomo getting on a high horse is hilarious. At least this socialist-commie is honest, the other democrats are jealous.

Mamdani needs to live on the street.

Muslims are taught to think of one person: themselves. If NYC elects this clown, they are in for some big surprises.

I would guess that thousands of well off people have had rent controlled apartments in NYC over the years. The Democrats who love the rent control law could put in some limits on who gets rent controlled apartments or which apartments it applies to. Why don’t they want to do that? It is precisely because so many of the people who have benefited have high incomes.

IOW, it is by design that people like the Mamdani’s get rent controlled apartments. You might say it’s a feature, not a bug. Cuomo’s sudden concern about the Mamdani’s having a rent controlled apartment is as phony as a $3 bill.

Socialism is just another pyramid scheme...with free mass executions thrown in for flavor.

[econjack]

"Do as I say, not as I do." Every notice how the heads of any Socialist country live extravagantly while most of the people live in abject poverty? If I lived in such a country, I'd kinda be asking questions about that...and hope I don't "disappear".

Commies the world over save the best for themselves. Anyone who votes for commie Mamdani is an idiot. Cuomo's right on this.

How many seniors has Cuomo killed?

[mass55th]

Former RAT NY Rep. and now dead Charlie Rangel had four rent-controlled apartments, as well as a villa in the Dominican Republic that he rented, and paid no taxes on the rent he received.

The Left would support Hitler, if he came out against Trump anyone who supports self-reliance, Christian morality/ethics, free markets/small business, weakened central-State....Trump is just one brand, this is a perpetual fight/war.

[faithhopecharity]

We had a relative with a huge penthouse apartment under rent control. $209 a month overlooking the water in the upper east side.

NY is as corrupt as NJ, Illinois, and californication

Needs cleaning up. The Islamonazi D candidate obviously is NOT the person !!
