Jack Gross is aptly named, I'd say. He sports evil eyes as well.

A member of Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral transition and top fundraiser for his campaign once celebrated vile anti-NYPD chants and called for America to be “punished for its sins,” The Post has learned.
Jack Gross, a far-left activist with deep ties to the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, repeatedly espoused far-left ideologies online and even praised Karl Marx, the 19th-century revolutionary who helped found communism.
Gross, who helped raise more than $20,000 for the Mamdani campaign, wrote on social media in June 2020 that it was “beautiful” when New Yorkers yelled “NYPD suck my d–k” — a common refrain heard during the George Floyd protests that summer.
“I must admit I do believe America is a wicked nation that must be punished for its sins,” he wrote a few months later, before his account went dormant.
Gross repeatedly spoke out on social media against US Immigration and Customs Enforcement and praised efforts by some detainees to escape agents from the federal agency.
He also shared a passage from a book on “Karl Marx Day” celebrating the “Communist Manifesto” co-author.
His controversial past posts came to light after Gross, a Canada native, was named to the 20-member “economic development & workforce development” committee by the mayor-elect’s transition team last month.
Gross, an editor at the lefty digital publication, “Phenomenal World,” run by the Jain Family Institute, served as an intermediary for Mamdani’s mayoral campaign helping bring in over $21,000 from more than 600 separate donors, records show.
He’s not the only controversial or radical member of the Mamdani transition to be exposed.
Most recently, it emerged that an ex-con rapper, Mysonne Linen, was named to the “criminal legal system” committee, with his name being overlooked originally since it had been misspelled by Mamdani’s team.

They voted him in and it’s OUR problem, not New York’s. Get it?
That’s their guy!!! Devastated on 9/11 and asking for more of the same.
Taking the high road. Above the fray.
Good luck, New Yorkers. You picked Mamdani.
I can’t wait until somebody throws New Yawk’s Han Gruber off the Sockitomi Tower.
Back off. He was voted in by the majority. The rape must happen, for the education.
Well, the voters got this narcissist islamic dipstick in and they’re getting what they voted for.
Deport the pig back to Canada.
Why do we let stupid idiots like this guy run our governments?
Why I don’t get upset about Trump’s comments. It pales to anything the Left says.
Newsflash! Zohran Mamdani’s supporters are Democrats!
