New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, bristled at fellow Democrat Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s growing clout after a slate of socialist candidates rode his endorsement to primary victories Tuesday night.
"Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic," James, who famously prosecuted President Donald Trump on financial fraud charges, told CNN after the election results came in.
James added that she and other Democratic leaders are "disappointed" in Mamdani.
"[Black and Hispanic voters] don’t like the trick the DSA is trying to pull in Harlem — using the forces of gentrification to try to supplant our agenda and subvert our priorities," one Democratic political operative told the New York Post. "Abolishing the police and releasing every prisoner, even rapists and murderers, isn’t progressive. It’s nuts. It isn’t people with a doorman who have the most to lose; we know it’s us, people of color, who are going to suffer most from the DSA’s reckless agenda."

One would think Madame Leticia would be virtually clicking her heels with Socialist Delight. Maybe the newcomers are not black enough to suit her personal priorities.
They’re from a different faction of extremists.
It’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
She ran for Attorney General promising to use her office to take out Donald Trump. What’s more commie or fascist than that?
From the article:
“James, who famously prosecuted President Donald Trump on financial fraud charges, told CNN after the election results came in.”
_________
Infamously, in more like it.
It was not Americans who put these enemies over the top.
“I’m shocked, shocked....”
Democrats wanted CRAZY
Democrats foisted CRAZY
Democrats created CRAZY
Democrats pushed CRAZY
Democrats sowed CRAZY
Democrats reaping CRAZY
I noticed that the “moderate” NY dems like Goldman who lost to the socialists are awful too.
Bolsheviks vs. Mensheviks.
History comes in repeated cycles.
Its Letitia the fascist against Mamdami the Communist.
Both totalitarians.
Pick your poison ?
This is going to get good.
Bring on the riots.
She’s a capitalist.
Not really, she is funded by elite democrat capitalists.
“Tish” could use a fumigating, and her office too.
Letitia James ... now a Democrat Dinosaur in Harlem and NYC.
“People get the government they deserve.”
“One would think Madame Leticia would be virtually clicking her heels with Socialist Delight. Maybe the newcomers are not black enough to suit her personal priorities.”
From my observation power comes from being in the proximity of power and collecting brownie points by supporting that power. Notice that the same clique of people stays in power, or proximate to it, which is its own power, for their entire lives. Quite suddenly, an entire crop of newbies who owe nothing to the clique currently in power look to take over profitable offices. They will support and send graft to their own people and Letica is decidedly not in that new ecology of power. Nor could she believably join it even if she wore a Marx effigy pin. She sees that she could shortly lose her power and accumulated brownie points. There is no future for the existing clique if these newbies win.
Order popcorn. This will be fun.
