Anyone who thinks he could say anything different and remain Mayor of NYC, has no idea how any of this actually works.
Breaking news: Mamdani does not support throwing Molotovs through the front window of city hall 😡😡😡
Can he also not say the NYPD is racist? If he is not allowed to say blatantly correct opinions is it useful to be a mayor?
Strange how he doesn't ban the illegal sales of Palestinian land in Synagogues though
He doesn't have the power to do that, but he did lift the ban on protesting outside those syangogues and churches, and he removed the use of the IDF definition of 'antisemitism' by the city.
There was never a ban on protesting outside synagogues please stop lying about this. Adams made an order to merely review the legality, which Zohran has also instructed his zio police commissioner to do as well as of January 1st. Google “EO 2 NYC” and review section 19.
No ban was lifted, he’s literally doing the same thing Adams did…
The illegal sale of Palestinian land is, you guessed it, illegal according to international law and can easily be banned. They are selling a product which they do not own which is deceptive marketing and thus an easy ban.
It's weird Zohran is denouncing speech against genocide, while not banning monetary participation in the genocide
As the mayor he cannot ban the sales. His main power as mayor is picking the staff for city agencies. NYC's prosecuting offices only have standing to enforce municipal law, not international law. City laws are made by the city council, not the mayor. The mayor cannot change city laws. The mayor, does not have the power to ban land sales.
He was elected to be the mayor, and you're criticizing the mayor for being a mayor instead of a dictator delete your account.
Go ahead and explain how he would no longer be mayor. I’m genuinely curious.
I was going to reply with an actual answer, but then I saw who this was.
I'm confident that you can figure it out on your own buddy.
You can also answer the question for anyone else that’s curious, you don’t gotta do it for me.
