Mamdani distracts questions about anti-political comments after the death of NYPD officers

Zoran Mamdani, a Democratic mayoral candidate in New York City, shuns responsibility for his past calls to reimburse police in the wake of a massive shooting in Manhattan that killed four people, including a New York City Police Department (NYPD) officer.

The 33-year-old democratic socialist returned to New York City on Wednesday from a wedding celebration in Uganda, visiting the home of a fallen NYPD officer DiDarlu Islam, holding a press conference with his Islamic brothers at the United Nations Service Employees (SEIU) headquarters in Manhattan.

Mamdani was troubled by questions from reporters about his past policy stance. I pledge to disband NYPD The Strategic Response Group (SRG) will respond to riots, civil disability and mass shootings, including incidents in Manhattan on Monday evening.

“My statement in 2020 was made out of the complaints that many New Yorkers had in George Floyd’s murder,” Mamdani replied when the reporter asked if he regretted it. One of his previous comments.

“I know that Governor Cuomo is far more comfortable in the past, whether it’s his own or attacking tweets made before I became a member of Congress,” Mamdani said Wednesday. “What I said over and over is the campaign I’m leading. The campaign I’m asking New Yorkers to consider is clear about their public safety approach.

In an exclusive interview Wednesday, Cuomo told Fox News Digital that his comments were “not publicizing the tragedy,” and that it was “a political argument we have to have in this campaign.”

Mamdani said he plans to deal with staffing at the police station as mayor.

“What I’m talking about is a vision to not only address public safety, but to maintain this very police department official, ensuring we can actually deal with the crimes committed in this city,” Mamdani said.

The socialist candidate criticized the former governor, calling it ‘that’ the very politics that New Yorkers want to leave in the past, criticising the former governor for almost never talking about me all day, almost exclusively about the murdered New Yorkers.

When a reporter asked Mamdani if he was responsible for some of his past comments about the NYPD, including the removal of “Nature is healing,” according to someone celebrating the police officer crying in his car in 2020, he again had a new found experience with NYPD officers with NYPD officers.

“It’s clear to me because it’s obvious to so many New Yorkers, so many people take on this job,” Mamdani said.

Mamdani once again criticised Cuomo for “trying to acquire” political points for criticizing his past comments.

“We spend much more time trying to score these kinds of points than we ask ourselves. How can we ensure that New Yorkers are safe?” Mamdani said.

Democrat socialists have secured support from Sens. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, but New York’s National Democratic leaders, including House minority leaders Hakem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.

On Wednesday, Mamdani said she has repeated Governor Kathy Hawtle, who also withheld her support due to the nationwide ban on attack rifles.

“In this moment we gather as New Yorkers and remember the four neighbors who were killed. We respect their memories and respond to the way they lead their lives,” Mamdani said.
