Not simply to wanton violence towards the highly effective, however for the elevation of Mangione to sainthood by the disgruntled lefties who maintain the twisted perception that any type of violence towards the rich isn’t solely justified, it’s righteous.

Mamdani, a man who repeatedly takes to X to categorical his “outrage” over one factor or one other had none to spare for his spouse’s bigotry as a result of she’s a “private person, who has held no formal position on my campaign or in my City Hall,” he claimed.
Therefore, he feels she isn’t honest recreation for scrutiny.
Except for the truth she is the First Lady of New York City and lives in a mansion paid for by tax {dollars}.
To Mamdani, Griffin is honest recreation to identify examine in such a fraught discourse, so long because it furthers his insane eat the wealthy agenda.
Of course, his spouse, who reported making solely $10,010 earlier than bills on their joint 2025 tax returns, sucks up the tax {dollars}. Griffin is filling the coffers.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani @NYCMayor /X
Mamdani’s double normal reveals a lot about their worldview: the takers are good. The givers are dangerous.
They should atone for his or her success and wealth by throwing more money into ever increasing bucket of pointless authorities initiatives.
Griffin – who moved his household and Citadel headquarters from Chicago to Miami in 2022, citing rising crime and high taxes – is a vocal advocate of small authorities.
On the opposite, these Democratic Socialists insist what’s his is theirs.
Soon they’ll run all of the billionaires out of city they usually’ll transfer onto the subsequent bracket to squeeze.
In the meantime, Mamdani has unfairly and dangerously made Griffin the face of greed. Shame on him.
