It Was A Very Bad Week for the Mayor Who Shouldn’t Be
This was not a good week for New York City Mayor Mamdani. That is soft peddling reality. It could be the worst week an elected official ever had, where everything he said and did dug a deeper hole with some group. If this were a campaign week for Zohran Mamdani, he would be dropping out of the race. I will detail all his missteps, but first, this week pointed out obvious shortcomings for the young Mayor and details New Yorkers need to consider when they vote for this Mayor’s successor. If this Mayor is not a one-and-done chief executive of the greatest city on Earth, then the young, ignorant, often rich electorate proves they are not ready to be mature adults capable of common sense.
Keep in mind that the same people who put this man in office are those who are donning masks, the colors of Middle Eastern terrorist groups, and chanting incessantly on the Quad at Columbia: “Globalize the Intifada,” “Allahu Akbar,” and “Long Live Hamas.” Mamdani is not a native New Yorker and should stop trying to be one. He didn’t grow up in the Big Apple and doesn’t have the city in his blood. He also has dual citizenship, and when your allegiance is split, you do not have the same level of commitment and love for the city, state, or nation. Sorry, Mr. Mayor, but your charisma and big smile won’t get the job done.
This week, Mamdani was the epitome of incompetence, lacking sensitivity and an understanding of how to play to the room. He is learning a hard lesson: you cannot play to both sides in this polarized world. You have to stick to your convictions and exercise consistency. When he tried to recognize October 7, one of the worst days in Israel’s history, his dislike, or even hatred, showed through as he equated the day with the third anniversary of the attacks on Israel, but went on with much more heart and sincerity to recognize the day as the third anniversary of the genocide inflicted on Iran by Israel. His remarks on Israel brought anger from Jews and Christians alike. Both sides were insulted, prompting Mamdani to leave the event that evening amid the chants of “traitor” and “Zionist.” He would have been better served saying nothing.
The next incident showed that he is not ready for prime time. An illegal alien was shot while trying to be apprehended by ICE. Rather than verifying the facts, he took to the microphone to condemn ICE as an out-of-control agency that has injured more of New York’s neighbors than it has protected, and he called for the agency to withdraw from the city. He also blamed ICE for traumatizing the alien’s 5-year-old son, who was in the car when his father decided to weaponize his vehicle, aim it at high speed towards the agents in an obvious attempt to injure or kill them. The alien was hospitalized, and Mamdani claimed to have spent two hours on the phone with Hochul, Trump, and DHS Secretary Mullin trying to “negotiate” his release from ICE when he is discharged from the hospital. There is so much in what he said.
First, these people are not our neighbors. They are dangerous criminals Biden and Harris let in through the front door. They are murderers, rapists, child molesters. There are over 250 known murderers on the streets of New York City alone, and Mamdani and his knodding-head followers feel they are safer with these “neighbors” than ICE. There is no negotiation here; this is not a hostage situation. Trump and Mullin should have hung up on him like a spam call. Next, it wasn’t the ICE agents traumatizing that child. The father is guilty of that and should be further charged with child endangerment. And finally, let’s ask the people leaving NYC how safe they felt with this protected class living among them and their children.
The more I listen to Mamdani and the rest of the DSA crowd, the more I think maybe we are targeting and deporting the wrong people. We should start looking at City Hall, the State House, and Capitol Hill, and check who is at the microphone.
Author’s Note: Graphics created by Grok AI. Grok’s comments about the images: The landscape captures a young mayor in a tailored suit standing at the rim of a deep hole he has dug in the cobblestones before City Hall. His confident smile and polished stance clash with the exposed cracks in the grand facade behind him and the dual flags fluttering overhead, one American and one hinting at divided allegiance. Bright, lifted light reveals every displaced stone and the strained architecture, underscoring that this is not a native son with the city in his blood. This week’s missteps—equating the third anniversary of October 7 with claims of genocide against Iran, then rushing to defend a criminal illegal alien over ICE agents who protected New Yorkers—have dug the hole deeper with Jews, Christians, and law-abiding residents alike. Charisma cannot fill it, and the electorate that elevated him may soon learn the cost of ignoring common sense.
