Cea Weaver’s anti-homeowner screeds: Letters – Latest News
The Issue: The resurfacing of radical claims by Mayor Mamdani’s tenant advocate, Cea Weaver.
Mayor Mamdani has already screwed up by appointing crybaby Cea Weaver as the town’s chief tenants-rights advocate (“Housing aide’s radical ‘take,’ ” Jan. 7).
The man who has by no means held a actual job appointed a girl whose mom owns a million-dollar mansion, in Tennessee no much less, to do a job she clearly has no clue how to do.
Weaver’s statements show a individual out of contact with actuality. How dare she insult hard-working people, many of them youngsters or grandchildren of immigrants who’ve labored to buy their houses? How dare she need them to share what they’ve completed?
I hope all who voted for this are able to share their houses.

That was fast. It solely took a few days for the mayor’s anti-white employees to show their true colours.
If Mamdani doesn’t fire Weaver instantly, it’ll point out he’s on board together with her remarks. Can you think about the fallout had she stated one thing anti-black?

I’m sure Weaver would regard white owners like me to be advocates of white supremacy, however I’m curious as to what she’d should say to the 1000’s of black, Hispanic and Asian owners all through the town.
Most of my neighbors are hard-working Chinese-Americans who own two or three household houses. Are they weaponizing “white supremacy” by proudly owning their own houses?

Like so many people who got here right here legally, my household labored long and laborious to buy a home. They raised a household whereas paying taxes and bettering the property over a few years—solely to see it managed by narrow-minded ideologues who’ve the audacity to call them “white supremacists.”
This is an insult to all hard-working Americans who requested for nothing however an alternative to reside a higher life.

If Mamdani goes to be a true chief, he should acknowledge and admit when he has made a mistake.
It appears clear to me that he did not correctly vet Weaver earlier than appointing her to move the Office to Protect Tenants.

Weaver not solely represents a hazard to property house owners of all colours, however to civil liberties as effectively. She displays a totalitarian mindset and is dangerously dissociated from regular considering.

These are the identical of us who can rationalize homicide as a “collective good” to justify their coercive ideology. It’s what socialism is and has all the time represented, whether or not in Russia, China, Venezuela or Cuba.

It’s no shock Mamdani, along with his infamous Marxist pedigree, would create a particular tenants’ rights czar who longs for the expropriation of middle-class owners — particularly whites — from the American dream.
Weaver is a sadly predictable product leaking our of the lab of our anti-America “higher education” institution. Boy, does Mamdummy know how to select them.

Mamdani is displaying he’s neither morally nor intellectually uplifting as he installs the likes of Cea Weaver.
It’s innocent to listen to tutorial rhetoric about seizing one’s property, however the actuality of its implementation have to be stopped.

Reading about Weaver’s appointment as tenant advocate in New York City despatched a chill up my backbone, regardless that I’m in sunny Florida.
In 2018, Weaver wrote “seize private property” and “home ownership is racist.” In 2021, she acknowledged that households “who are homeowners are, well, are gonna have a different relationship to property than the one we currently have.”
Now she casually dismisses these as “regretful comments.” They are past regretful; they’re threatening and horrifying.
