Zohran Mamdani sure is good at putting a pleasant face on hate.

His platform’s pointed reference to boosting property taxes on white New Yorkers is “just naming things as they are,” he claimed Sunday, simply “an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed.”

So why make a point of linking it to race, unless you’re talking code?

Similarly, he wouldn’t back down on his defense of the phrase “Globalize the intifada,” which along with “From the river to the sea” is blatantly about opposing Jews as Jews and eliminating Israel.

But “that’s not language that I use,” he blurred: His language is about “a belief in universal human rights” — rights that, strangely enough, Israel actually respects but not the Palestinian territories.

Even his plans to hike taxes on businesses and the rich are somehow “a vision for every single New Yorker, including business leaders across the city.”

Pretty ugly.

[Common Sense 101]

With code words and dog whistles outright lies and overt deception aimed toward the uninformed masses, Zohran Mamdani puts a pretty face on hate provides vile, demonic-supporting, hate-filled liberal filth a reason to get up in the morning...

“Socialism with a human face,” is now “Socialism with a SMILEY face.”.................

... and the stupid people in NYC will vote for him regardless... You reap what you sow...

He prefers the more traditional, "Death to America and Israel!"

We need to get the OMG guy (can’t drudge up his name?) who goes undercover and get some really honest clips on this guy and have the video pour it out on time Square TV

I see this guy as Barak Obama 2.0-—nice appearance, smooth-talking, odd name.

[No name given]

Correct.

[alloysteel]

100% self-induced personal misery and woe. Socialism can be voted in, but then you have to shoot your way out.

“Escape from New York” was strangely prophetic in many ways.

This guy is better looking than Obama. And more slick than Obama. He needs to be stopped before getting traction.

The Tokyo Rose of Muslim antisemitism.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Look, he's a young guy who speaks a language the kids like: "free rent, free health care, Free Palestine...and get back at Boomer Dad!" Criticizing him as the socialist he is will not cost him a single vote among that demographic - it will just increase his support when they see how the "rich" are panicking over his candidacy.

The optimal tactic would be for Republicans to approvingly play up his desire to replace New York's Democrat Old Guard - and let them decide whether to go along with this temporary spasm of collectivist Trump hate or undermine him to save their own jobs.

Zohran Mamdani spouts pure, undisguised hate—just like Hitler!

New Yorkers-—vote the muslim menace down!

[Verginius Rufus]

Mamdani was born in Uganda so he can’t be elected President. It’s not like he was born in Kenya or something.

What if Mamdani can generate a Hawaii birth certificate when his mom was in Hawaii for a vacation?
