EAT THE RICH 

PEOPLE ARE STARVING IN THE STREETS! 

 

FIRST ON FOX: An Empire State Republican is criticizing New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for his attendance at a conference in Puerto Rico, days after winning his race and during the longest government shutdown in U.S. history.

"If Zohran Mamdani is truly serious about helping working families, he wouldn’t be jetting off to a luxury resort the moment he wins an election," Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., first told Fox News Digital.

Both Politico and New York outlet City & State reported that Mamdani is expected to travel to the 2025 SOMOS Conference in Puerto Rico on Thursday. 

Politico reported that Mamdani is attending a cocktail reception on Thursday hosted by New York's Democrat Attorney General Letitia James. Fox News Digital obtained a copy of an invitation that appears to confirm the report.

"If so, why? Who’s looking out for New Yorkers while they’re on the beach?" Lawler asked of Mamdani and the other Democrats mentioned.

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., whom Lawler also named, is not attending the conference.

Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani's campaign as well as the offices of Schumer, Jeffries and Hochul to inquire about their attendance but did not immediately hear back.

Who does he think he is, Kash Patel? 

Lighten up Francis. 

Fun Fact:

Mamdani is not yet Mayor of NYC. He won't be sworn in until Jan 1, 2026. There is nothing he can do for those who are STARVING IN THE STREETS! or who have lost their SNAP benefits because of Trump until then.

What does Mamdani have to do with the shutdown?

They're getting desperate.

Trump is playing golf again this weekend

The other interesting aspect of this is that they’re now trying to paint Mamdani as the new face of the Democratic Party. That’s going to backfire big time.

He doesn't have a thing to do with the shutdown, but Max seems to think if he had been here instead of Puerto Rico he could have helped those "STARVING IN THE STREETS!" even though he is not Mayor yet and won't be sworn in until January 1, 2026.

No such thing as a democratic party. Your Fftoday brethren keep telling us there is no republican party. Only Maga sheep. If that's the way you guy's want to go. Ok. But fair is fair. And democrats are looong gone. Only far left communists.

The tried that with AOC but that talking point never really caught on (although a few folks here still keep saying AOC will challenge Shumer for the leadership of the Democrats, but that seem laughable to me). 

Mamdani's support, like AOC's, will probably be just those on the "fringe left" of The Democratic Party, although his charisma may garner support from more moderate Democrats who will at least want to see how his tenure as Mayor plays out.

Senate?  Bernie is pushing AOC for POTUS.

That's desperate?? He seems pretty content to be honest. It's the Schumer Shutdown, not his.
