Zohran Mamdani: Muslims in this city, for almost as long as we have been in this city, have had to deal with those with power and platform dehumanizing us. And to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor, to be called a cockroach, this language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa. And it is difficult to hear. It is also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester, the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there is no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

Reporter: What do you think of Sid Rosenberg using the term cockroach? Mamdani: So Muslims in this city, for almost as long as we have been in this city, have had to deal with those with power and platform dehumanizing us — to be called animals, insects, to be called a jihadist mayor…. This language is both painfully familiar to me as a Muslim New Yorker, but also as someone who was born in East Africa, and it is difficult to hear. There’s also a reminder that the silence that often greets this kind of bigotry, this kind of Islamophobia, is what allows it to fester — the temptation to treat it as politics as usual. And I want to be very clear that I have far more urgent work in front of me than indulging the provocations of a man who trades in outrage and, frankly, fears the city that we are looking to build — one where every single New Yorker who lives here can call it their home. I am not ashamed of who I am. I am not ashamed of my faith. I am not ashamed of being the first Muslim mayor in the history of our city. And there’s no amount of racism that will change the way in which I lead or the commitment that I hold to each and every New Yorker in this city.

Everyone is furious about what Sid Rosenberg said. Fine. Then answer the question. What has Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani Mamdani actually done to make Jewish New Yorkers safer? Not rhetoric. Not press releases. What has he DONE? If the answer is obvious, this should be easy. 🎥👇

Here it is folks! This is the “Sid Rosenberg Impersonator” put in 2 comedy skits by Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani and his writing staff at last night’s annual Inner Circle event in New York City. A feeble attempt at humor. Agree? The best joke of the night is that this terrorist sympathizing communist is actually our Mayor! Actually scary, not funny!
