Eric Adams warns many Gen Z voters backing Mamdani are foul-mouthed, USA-hating radicals
New York Post ^ | September 20, 2025 | Rich Calder

“A substantial” number of Gen Z voters supporting socialist NYC mayoral frontrunner Zhoran Mamdani have been brainwashed by leftist ideology into an army of “nasty,” USA-hating radicals — who routinely accost rival Mayor Eric Adams on the campaign trail, Hizzoner revealed to The Post.

“I have never witnessed a more mean and angry and nasty electoral season — and not all of Zohran’s voters are, but a substantial number of them,” Adams said during an exclusive 20-minute sitdown at Gracie Mansion.

“You know, when you sit in a restaurant with a family, a family restaurant, children are there, and you’re sitting down with your loved ones and family, and someone is yelling out, ‘F you!’ Cursing!

“Or walking into a church, a synagogue, and someone is just cursing and yelling … That has never been like this before in the city … People are ‘F U Adams! F you!’ … When you do it in front of children, it says to me you have no regard for the civility that’s associated with living in a city of this magnitude.”...

“You don’t have a 22-year-old assassinate someone because you disagree with them,” he said. “You don’t have a young person going into a Catholic school shooting children … I’m not sure what it’s going to take for us to realize that … ‘Houston, we have a problem.’”...

Support from younger voters played a pivotal role in Mamdani’s stunning upset over ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the Democrat primary. Cuomo, like Adams, is now running for mayor in the Nov. 4 general election as an independent.

Mamdani has support from 64% of “likely” New York City voters ages 18 through 29, compared to 14% for Cuomo, 11% for Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, 9% for Adams, according to a Marist University poll released Tuesday.

Yes,Sliwa is the best candidate. But *I* have a better chance of being elected than he does. Adams certainly isn't the best Mayor NYC has ever had...but he just as certainly isn't the worst. He'd make a much better Mayor than Cuomo....and,of course,the Maoist would do his best to destroy the city.

Nothing enrages the powers-that-shouldn’t-be than a black man who, fed up, starts speaking the unvarnished truth!

Mamdani the Jihadhi completes the conquest of NYC. If you can conquer there, you’ll conquer anywhere. Civilization shrugs.

I predict President Trump will send the National Guard to NYC once Mamdani gets elected.

Wait? Eric is just mad that the commies he courted and loved for decades have out commied him. Adam’s doesn’t get to play “I’m the civilized one” now. The nasties were perfectly fine until they turned their anger toward him.

That's only part of the problem. To me, the bigger threat is these clowns believe in a free lunch. Stupid people do stupid things, like believe that Mamdani can actually produce "free stuff". History is strewn with the wreckage of Social experiments from New Harmony to modern-day Venezuela but you still see idiots like Mamdani telling people he's smarter than the past two hundred years of people who tried Socialism and failed. Sadly, even dumber, radical, USA-hating people believe him. Somebody in the media needs to have the stones to ask Mamdani how he plans to pay for all of the free things he's promised and his standard answer of taxing the rich won't work, because the rich are mobile and are already financing NYC's existence.

Yup—the Democrats get all whiny when their pet dragon turns around and starts shooting flames at them.

The wealthy have no need to live or do business in NYC any more.

There are many excellent options out there—both domestically and around the world.

That would be good if the circumstances warrant. It’s a challenge to defeat domestic enemies and international terrorists who have a presence around the world. Both have intentions of destroying this great republic. One has a $40 million bounty on President Trump’s head.

I'm sure that the Trump Administration is working on a contingency to deal with NYC. We know that Mamdani wants to turn NYC into Londonistan. Trump is from NYC. Not on his eatch.

A vast majority of New Yorkers should stand with President Trump and defeat the destructive deceiver.

If Adams loses, he’ll cozy up to Trump.

Knowing New York, they’ll vote for Zohran Mamdani.

Zohran Mamdani will destroy NYC, and like Fidel Castro, he will blame his failures on the Capitalist U.S.
