FROM NY POST: Miami Mayor Francis Suarez has a message for New Yorkers – expect dark days ahead if you elect socialist Zohran Mamdani your next mayor.
Suarez – whose parents escaped Cuba as young refugee children in the early 1960s during Fidel Castro’s communist dictatorship – compared Mamdani to a young Castro during an interview with The Post Friday.
He also said he’s “genuinely worried” about NYC residents heading into the Nov. 4 mayoral election, which the Democratic nominee Mamdani is favored to win.
“[New York City] is going down a very dark path, and it’s sad,” said Suaraz, the son of Miami’s first Cuban-born mayor, Xavier Suarez.
“There’s some people that say — and I am not one of them — that maybe [electing a socialist mayor in NYC] is best for America in a backwards way because, once you see the abject failure that it will be, there will be a correction and a reset. But I don’t want people to suffer for that to happen.”
Suarez said New Yorkers “should be terrified” of socialism and communism.
“My parents fled [Cuba] . . . because a young charismatic leader said ‘Give us all your property, give us all your businesses, and don’t worry, we’ll make everybody equal.’ And he did,” said Suarez. “He made everybody equally poor, equally miserable, and equally repressed. And that’s all that communism has delivered throughout the history of humanity.”
