CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTOBER 23, 2025
IF YOU ARE OF A CERTAIN AGE YOU MAY WONDER WHY THE LIKELY NEXT MAYOR OF NEW YORK CITY IS SO APPEALING TO YOUNG VOTERS?
THE LIKELY ANSWER IS THAT YOUNG PEOPLE KNOW LITTLE ABOUT SOCIALISM, LESS ABOUT COMMUNISM AND PROBABLY NOTHING AT ALL ABOUT RADICAL ISLAM.
ZOHRAN MAMDANI’S VIEWS ARE CLOSER TO COMMUNISM THAN SOCIALISM. HE HAS MADE ANTI-SEMETIC AND ANTI-ISRAEL STATEMENTS. HE WANTS TO PROVIDE FREE GROCERIES AND BUS RIDES AND TAX THE WEALTHY TO PAY FOR IT. BUT HE CAN’T RAISE TAXES WITHOUT LEGISLATIVE APPROVAL IN ALBANY. GOVERNOR KATHY HOCHUL IS OPPOSED TO TAX HIKES. BUSINESSES AND WEALTHY INDIVIDUALS ARE ALREADY LEAVING THE CITY FOR MORE TAX FRIENDLY PLACES LIKE FLORIDA.
LAST WEEK, MAMDANI COMPAIGNED WITH THE BROOKLYN IMAM WHO WAS AN UNIDICTED CO-CONPIRATOR IN THE 1993 WORLD TRADE CENTER BOMBING. HE ALSO ONCE SERVED AS A CHARACTER WITNESS FOR THE TERRORIST WHO ORGANIZED IT, ACCORDING TO FEDERAL DOCUMENTS.
MAMDANI IS SLICK AND THOSE WHO WILL VOTE FOR HIM AND KNOW NOTHING ABOUT SOCIALISM, COMMUNISM OR RADICAL ISLAM WILL COME TO REGRET IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
