By Shawn Fleetwood, The Federalist - Throughout his campaign, Mamdani has reportedly voiced support for taxpayer subsidization of so-called “trans” surgeries (including for minors) and health care for illegal aliens, government-owned grocery stores, “free” bus fare and child care, hiking the corporate tax rate, and limiting the NYPD’s “duties relating to mental-health crisis intervention, homelessness outreach and traffic ticketing,” according to the Post. He’s also espoused pro-Hamas sentiments and was previously arrested for participating in a “pro-Palestinian” demonstration outside of Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s New York residence in 2023.
