Not everyone was eager to welcome New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, to Staten Island on Wednesday afternoon.
"Go back to where you came from. We don't want you on Staten Island," a protester wearing a "Trump girl" t-shirt and holding an American flag shouted at the 33-year-old self-described socialist as he exited the backdoor of the Istanbul Bay Authentic Mediterranean Restaurant.
Inside the event, as Mamdani kicked off his third anti-Trump event of the week, protesters outside the restaurant drowned out the introductory speeches with their cowbells, sirens and megaphones.
Despite the heat in the crowded restaurant and his detractors outside, Mamdani maintained a smile throughout the event and told reporters, "It saddens me to hear language of being told to go back to where I came from, and yet, it is not surprising because it is so much of what characterizes President Trump's politics."

Possibly a paid mob to make Trump supporters look bad.
Yeah, I heard he’s backed by a Chinese billionaire. The chinese do everything to screw us over. i used to tolerate the Chinamen. Now I can’t stand them. Murdering millions of people with bioweapons does that to your reputation. To hell with them.
I doubt that was a paid mob. Nor do I think it makes Trump look bad.
Staten Island secession!
The New York Leftist Democrats who put this guy in the race love that others would blame the Chinese instead of blaming them. They're never to blame. Never ever ever.
This is what happens with ranked choice.....it’s a rigged system. I hope it winds up in Supreme Court.
Maybe Mumdani would be more welcome in China. His politics would, at least with a certain segment of those who aligned with it.
Or - maybe just patriots who don’t want to be run by communists...
With folks like you, spouting leftist pap, who needs enemies?
LOL! That’s funny and true.
Staten Island understands what’s going on with NYC. If Democrats had their way, they’d redistrict the city where Staten gets zero representation.
"They should sit back and let us Socialists and Communists ruin the USA," Mamdani continued. "Free stuff to all. Why work?"
Most likely that YOU'RE RIGHT about that!
No. The counter demonstration was organized by Trump supporter Scott Lobaido. I heard him describing the plans on Sid Rosenberg’s WABC morning show.
This is the article I’m referencing:
Where does Madmani think she told him to go back to? She most likely meant Manhattan. Was he feeling guilty about Uganda?
EC
Staten Island is the New York City equivalent of far northern California, inland Washington and Oregon and downstate Illinois, all pockets of relative sanity in anarcho-tyrannical jurisdictions.
Turn about is fair play.
