Mamdani discovers how hateful his supporters are

Published October 15, 2026 2:27pm ET



New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has discovered that the hateful communist base he has cultivated does not care about the intricacies of governing, and he has no one to blame but himself.

Mamdani attended a memorial last week for the victims of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that took place in Israel three years ago. No one is (or, at least, should be) under the impression that Mamdani actually cares about the 1,200 Israeli civilians who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists, but attending the memorial is quite literally the least he can do as the mayor of a city with a sizable Jewish population. (A Jewish population that is quickly souring on Mamdani, for obvious reasons.)
