Socialist Zohran Mamdani called for ‘abolition of private property,’ resurfaced video shows New York City socialist Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani is being ripped for advocating “the abolition of private property” — as a video resurfaced of him touting the radical position this week. “If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing — whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it a statewide housing guarantee — it is preferable to what is going on right now,” Mamdani said in the video shared by RNC Research. “People try to play gotcha games about...

End Wokeness @EndWokeness Zohran Mamdani on abolishing prisons and jail: "What purpose do they serve, besides making people feel good?"

Former Obama and Hillary Clinton staffer Zara Rahim, who publicly wished death on President Trump after his 2020 COVID-19 diagnosis, has found a new gig consulting for Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral campaign. Campaign finance records show that the 33-year-old Democratic Socialist assemblyman’s campaign paid Rahim $3,500 for communications consulting, the Washington Free Beacon first reported. Shortly after President Trump was diagnosed with COVID-19 in October 2020, Rahim infamously wrote on X that she “hope he dies” before quickly deleting the post. “It’s been against my moral identity to tweet this for the past four years, but, I hope he dies,” she...

The Democrat Party is grappling with internal divisions following Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s upset victory in New York City’s Democrat mayoral primary election this week. Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York State Assembly member, decisively defeated disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo with 56% to 44% in the final ranked-choice voting results. Two prominent Obama-era officials, former Treasury Secretary Jack Lew and former Office of Management and Budget Director Peter Orszag, have publicly opposed Mamdani’s candidacy, warning that his progressive economic policies could harm New York City.

New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani (D) issued a statement after President Donald Trump suggested he would be arrested for refusal to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. In Mamdani’s statement, he stated that Trump had “threatened” to have him “arrested, stripped” of his citizenship and “put in a detention camp and deported.” Mamdani, a Democrat socialist, also criticized Trump for praising New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D). “The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported,” Mamdani said. “Not because...

New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.His campaign proposes a new...

NYPD officers are warning of a mass exodus from the force if Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor — a move they say would throw New York City into a full-blown public safety disaster. Multiple officers tell me they’re already preparing for early retirement, and many others are considering walking off the job. “We’re barely holding the line as it is,” one veteran officer said. “If Zohran Mamdani wins, I’m gone — and so are a lot of others. We’re not sticking around to watch this place burn.” Officers are deeply alarmed by Zohran Mamdani’s agenda, which they say includes plans...

Two Muslim terrorists mowed down Fusilier Le Rigby in a car before hacking him to death in the street in front of horrified onlookers near Woolwich Barracks in south-east London in May 2013. They both said that they were ‘soldiers of Allah.” Democrat Mayoral Candidate Zoran Mamdani shared an article by leftist Glenn Greenwald questioning whether the killing was terrorism because Rigby was a soldier.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is stepping up big time against socialist Zohran Mamdani in New York City’s mayoral race. Ackman’s ready to pour “hundreds of millions of dollars” into supporting any strong candidate who can take on Mamdani. Mamdani just beat Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary and is now set to face Mayor Eric Adams, who’s running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa in November. Ackman, the guy in charge of Pershing Square Capital, is really worried about Mamdani winning. On X, he said he woke up “gravely concerned” about the city’s future. He’s not a fan of...

'Teach our children to hate everything about the infidels: the holidays, the dress, the manners'. June 28, 2025 by Daniel Greenfield. Zohran Mamdani, who has been chosen by 5% of the electorate and by the Democrat Party, as their candidate, appeared at a Brooklyn terror mosque where an Imam had previously prayed that Allah aid Hamas terrorists and “guide their shooting”. In January, Mamdani, a Muslim candidate who only recently became a citizen, tweeted that he was joining “Jummah prayers at the Islamic Society of Bay Ridge today.” The tweet showed him appearing to speak next to Imam Muhammad Al-Barr.

Democratic Socialist Zorhan Mamdani, mayoral candidate for New York City, has already begun laying out his vision if he were to win, wanting to shift tax burdens over to “whiter neighborhoods.” The idea of doling out more taxes to white people came in the form of a homeowner policy memo, outlining Mamdani’s plans on housing. “Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” one bullet point read. “The property tax system is unbalanced because assessment levels are artificially capped, so homeowners in expensive neighborhoods pay less than their...

New York City's Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has said he wants to "shift the tax burden" to "richer and whiter neighborhoods" if he secures election in November. A housing policy document on Mamdani's official website includes a pledge to "shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods." Newsweek contacted the Mamdani campaign for comment via email on Friday outside of regular office hours. Why It Matters Mamdani's proposal has already sparked a backlash with one conservative commentator branding him racist and urging New Yorkers to support incumbent...

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has formally called on Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate and revoke the U.S. citizenship of radical socialist and NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, citing credible concerns that he may have obtained citizenship under false pretenses — including sympathies for convicted terrorists. “Zohran ‘little muhammad’ Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York,” Rep. Ogles wrote on X. “He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings.” According to the letter sent by Ogles to the Department of Justice,...

In the linked MSNBC interview, Mandini emphasizes his commitment to protect the Jewish community from anti-Semitic hate crime attacks.

A New York Republican group has asked President Donald Trump to revoke the citizenship of and deport Zohran Mamdani, the likely Democrat candidate for New York City mayor. Mamdani, who defeated former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo in the first round of the ranked-choice Democratic Party primary election on Tuesday, was born in Uganda and raised in New York City. He was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2018, Newsweek reported. The 33-year-old Muslim is a state assemblyman and self-described democratic socialist. The New York Young Republican Club has called on the federal government, namely White House deputy chief of...

Former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo shockingly conceded to upstart democratic socialist Zohrab Mamdani in Tuesday’s Democratic Primary Election for the next mayor of New York City.

Globalizing the intifada apparently begins in New York City. In one of the most stunning upsets for the progressive wing of the Democratic Party since Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s unseating of Joseph Crowley in a 2018 primary battle, state Rep. Zohran Mamdani cruised to an apparent victory in the New York City mayoral primary, handily beating former governor and the presumptive favorite in the race, Andrew Cuomo. While New York City uses ranked-choice voting and the results won’t be official until next week, Cuomo has already conceded the race with Mamdani ahead by a 43.5 percent to 36.4 percent margin. Given that...

NEW YORK CITY — Zohran Mamdani, winner of New York City's mayoral Democratic primary, has vowed to knock down the One World Trade Center in order to build more affordable housing. Mamdani admitted that taking down the popular tower was something of a political suicide mission, but he remained undeterred. "We will not allow the wealthy capitalist elite to hijack our city," said Mamdani. "As mayor, I promise to take this problem head on by bringing down One World Trade Center and putting cheap, government-controlled apartments in its place. I understand that people believe this initiative could really blow up...
