From Breitbart: Democratic Socialist Zohran Mamdani, the current frontrunner in New York’s mayoral race, appears to have been pushing pie-in-the-sky policy promises since high school.
A recent profile in the New York Times noted how Mamdani first entered politics in high school when he ran for student body vice president at the elite Bronx High School of Science, promising impossible programs like fresh juice from locally-sourced fruit.
“His bid for student vice president at the elite Bronx High School of Science would ultimately crater, with its wayward pledge of fresh juice for all, squeezed from locally sourced fruits,” noted the New York Times.
Mamdani later admitted he “promised things that were simply impossible.”
New York Post writer Kyle Smith published an op-ed on Mamdani’s pie-in-the-sky promises. He wrote:
Step up to the Golden Corral buffet of social services, folks! Don’t worry about the costs.
Zo is somehow going to make the buses both free (meaning lots more passengers, many of them homeless) and faster (sure, bud). Buses are already pay-optional, of course: 48% of riders are fare beaters. But making the buses free is going to blow an $800 million hole in the budget. Never mind, New York: Zo has got this.
Mamdani is too young to remember the dot-com boom — hell, he’s barely old enough to remember 9/11 — but he’s the Kozmo.com of pols, the company whose business model was “build brand loyalty by giving customers enormously expensive yet free one-hour delivery.” After bleeding a quarter of a billion dollars of red ink, it died. Its last recorded remark was, “Oops!”
Smith said Mamdani is “a bluff, a hope, a whimsy, a rumor of a man who has no knowledge of anything, no experience running so much as a halal hot-dog stand and nothing to offer except vibes.”
“His stock answer to everything, when he even pretends to answer, is to smile charmingly and leave the details to the future,” Smith added.
At a massive rally last weekend, Zohran Mamdani promised he’s going to build housing for anyone in need, freeze rent, make buses free, and provide free child care.
His only answer on how to pay for it all is to “tax the rich.” And tens of thousands of far-left New Yorkers are cheering with glee.
