DSA-backed pol eying NYC seat touts self as ‘working class’ candidate — while being son of celebrity butt doctor
NY Post ^ | 01/17/2026 | Rich Calder

This socialist pol is keeping his past in the rear view.

David Orkin, a Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate vying to unseat one of ex-NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ biggest allies in the state Assembly, promotes himself as a “working class” candidate — despite being the silver-spooned spawn of a celebrity butt doctor.

Orkin, an anti-Israel activist and lawyer with the George Soros-backed immigrant-rights “social justice” nonprofit Make the Road New York, gushed last week he’s the “proud son of a Mexican immigrant mother whose Jewish grandparents migrated to Mexico to escape the persecution of the pogroms,” while announcing his plans to take on Assemblywoman Jenifer Rajkumar in June’s Democratic primary.

He’s already pumping himself up as the “working class” New Yorker best suited to push Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist agenda in Albany and represent the ethnically diverse 38th Assembly District that includes Richmond Hill, Woodhaven and other parts of Queens.

But the 34-year-old fails to note he grew up in the wealthy Maryland suburb of Rockville and is the son of colorectal surgeon Dr. Bruce Orkin, records show.

The derriere doc’s LinkedIn page touts his “patients from the White House, Congress, Supreme Court and many embassies” during his 20-year career at George Washington University Medical Center as director of the division of colon and rectal surgery.

He’s now a clinical professor and residency program director at the Carle Illinois College of Medicine, and he and his wife live in a Chicago condo valued at nearly $1 million and own another condo in Kissimmee, Fla., worth nearly $400,000, records show.

David Orkin graduated with a bachelor’s in geography in 2013 from uber-liberal Vassar College, one of the nation’s priciest colleges. He earned his law degree in 2022 from CUNY Law School.

His mother, strictly speaking, isn’t a Mexican either. Was George Romney a Mexican?

These privlidged “socialists” are particularly loathsome. They are trying to induce people to embrace socialism which guarentees people will be impoverished and lose their liberties. Yet people like this Orkin pig will walk always on two legs and never suffer the policies and they are trying to implement.

Socialism is simply ‘equally distributed misery’.
In the best-case scenario, one would prefer to be the one who is the distributor.

Just so you all know, DSA and Muslims being elected and appointed in NYC are trying to do what OBL could not do: Destroy the financial hub of Western Society. If they can crumble this, they can bring down the US/Europe and create the world wide Callifate

You’re just a middle class, socialist brat
From a suburban family and you never really had to work
And now you tell me that we’ve got to get back
To the struggling masses, whoever they are
You talk, talk, talk about suffering and pain
Your mouth is bigger than your entire brain
What the hell do you know about suffering and pain you dumb f___?

This strategy worked for AOC. NY lib voters are stoopid.

It will probably work for him as well.

“””I thought for sure one of the first few posts would be reference to Seinfeld’s A$$MAN”””

Cosmo Kramer is the A$$MAN, the only one.

“I don’t know. People say to me, ‘What do you like about a girl, a girl’s legs, are you a leg man, are you breast man, are you an ass man?’ I don’t know what I am. I think I must be an ass man, you know? Yeah, people always say to me, ‘You’re an ass, man!’”

Orkin, an anti-Israel activist

Orkin, for when you need extermination services, and he probably would. Think Chiam Rumkowski.

So is it celebrity doctor or celebrity butts?

Being DC lizards doesn’t make them celebrities.

I bet he’s looked up many old friends.

Oh, anther Gyorgy Schwartz.

Hoped that feeding the alligators would spare him. I’d be very curious as to his thoughts when he was sent to the kill line off the train.

In Chaim’s case, his fellow Jews dealt with him before the Nazis did.
