New York City’s incoming mayor, Zohran Mamdani, hasn’t taken office yet. But he’s already the new avatar of evil for conservative media figures.
He’s been called “downright sinister” and “incompatible with America.” His labels include commie, Marxist, jihadist sympathizer and “seething leftist.” Fox News’ Laura Ingraham warned her viewers not to be fooled by “smiling socialists who rule like Soviet tyrants.”
A New York Post post-election cover that depicted Mamdani holding aloft the Soviet Union’s hammer and sickle symbol sold out on newsstands by noon and was offered on e-Bay for $75. By the end of the day, the Post was selling baby onesies and commemorative plates emblazoned with the cover.
Already, conservative outlets see Mamdani joining Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton as someone guaranteed to make their audiences’ blood boil. And by doing so, they can help Republicans in the midterm elections.
“It’s very clear that he’s going to be the No. 1 target of right-wing media for the foreseeable future, well into 2026,” said Howard Polskin, publisher of the Righting, a newsletter that follows conservative media. “He’s colorful, controversial and not afraid of a fight.”
The National Review said Mamdani’s win meant “it’s open season on New York Jews.” Megyn Kelly said the tenets of Islam are inconsistent with American values and Muslims should not be elected mayors or governors. Podcaster Michael Savage called him a “Marxist jihadist sympathizer.” Influencer Laura Loomer predicted Mamdani would encourage Muslims to commit political assassinations to acquire power and silence critics.

Conservatives pounce...
His labels include commie, Marxist, jihadist sympathizer and “seething leftist.”
He gave himself those labels. Poor little red diaper baby.
I did not see a single characterization in this description that was even a nanometer off-base or inaccurate.
For liberal media, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani quickly becomes a darling
None is needed but this is yet another reason to avoid NYC and similar environs.
Is there a Conservative Media in Communist countries, Ape Pee? 🤔
The fact that mongrels like this can even vote, much less, hold office, bodes extremely ill for The Republic.
Conservatives just state facts and leftists think they are being attacked.
“Conservative media”
Remember back in November of 2016 when the AP ran this headline?
“For liberal media, US President-elect Donald Trump quickly becomes attack target”
Nah, neither do I. But Trump was attacked relentlessly well before he was sworn in. I didn’t hear them whine about it in the media (because they were in on it).
These people have no shame. It’s like they’re a car that was smashed into a curb so now if you let go of the steering wheel, it just yanks to the left. You have to fight just to keep it straight.
And to add on to that, Islam and Communism are two of the most murderous systems Man has created. Why shouldn’t someone holding those beliefs be a target for verbal abuse?

So is mondami going to fill his PERSONAL security w SOCIAL WORKERS to show us all how well it will wk for the people or does he get BIG STRONG MEN to protect him?
Let us know when he is assassinated.
This is the wrong time for conservatives to “pounce.” Give him enough rope to hang himself. Lay low for now. Then turn him into a poster boy for the midterms. Attacking him now before he does anything rings hollow.
There is no “Conservative Media”. Only less liberal media like the New York Post.

Yes we see an enemy of freedom and jump to defend our freedom so what is your point?
Ass Press pounding the agitprop drum again. They’re certainly predictable. Calling a commie a commie is not abusive, it’s good reporting. They wouldn’t know much about that.
