U.S BREAKING: ‘Communist’ Mamdani Mocked by New York Post After Historic Mayoral Win in NYC 2025
Zohran Mamdani’s historic victory as New York City’s first Muslim and first South Asian mayor has drawn sharp criticism from the Murdoch-owned New York Post. The tabloid’s provocative cover, featuring hammer-and-sickle imagery, framed Mamdani as a “socialist mayor” and suggested a shift toward socialism in the city. Mamdani, 34, defeated Andrew Cuomo with record turnout, but the Post highlighted his democratic socialist platform, foreign campaign donations, and framed his policies as radical.
