"As Mayor, I will always make sure the right to protest, prayer and protection are guaranteed for every New Yorker." Yeah, especially if they’re violent anti-ICE or pro-Hamas demonstrators.
"Zohran Mamdani issued his first veto as New York City mayor on Friday, and it revealed once more that he is no friend of the Jewish people or a fan of law and order.
"The democratic socialist has spent his approximately three and a half months in Gracie Mansion proving that he is governing exactly the way he told us he would: by endorsing extreme left policies, threatening punitive tax hikes, refocusing the government on “equity” (which is basically just legalized discrimination), and demonizing the wealthy — the very people who prop the Big Apple up.
"Now the man who refused to condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” has vetoed a bipartisan measure meant to keep students safe during protests. What were some of the most violent and destructive demonstrations we’ve seen in NYC in recent years? You got it, the 2024 pro-Hamas, anti-Jewish conflagrations at Columbia University and on the city streets, as well as the January anti-ICE protests, to name but a few.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is sparking backlash after using his first veto to derail a bipartisan bill aimed at combating antisemitism by expanding protest security safeguards for places of education.
"This could impact workers protesting ICE or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights," Mamdani said in a statement Friday.

NIMBY 1, Mamdani 0: The Base That Cheered Him Now Sues Him
"The lawsuit against the homeless shelter cites, among other things, environmental issues. Seriously? What environment? In that concrete jungle? Oh, I know, the East Village has parks and all that; it's not all brick and cement. But if we put NIMBY on one side of the scale and the environment on the other to see which one motivates the East Village residents more, I'm betting on the former. And, honestly, can we blame them? I can understand they don't want a building full of bums in their neighborhood. But it's not the NIMBY that's interesting here, but the hypocrisy, and the utter lack of understanding of what they were voting for: a clueless" creature of the far-left who has never done an honest day's work in his life."
. . . "But let's be real: When Mayor Mamdani's term is up, should he run for another stint in Gracie Mansion, the East Village will turn out to vote for him, very likely by a 2-1 margin - again."
