Newsmax’s meltdowns over Zohran Mamdani continued in the weeks after his election as New York City mayor. Here’s how it behaved through the rest of November:
- Mamdani Doubles Down on Arresting Netanyahu
- Mamdani Says His New York Won’t Help ICE
- Dershowitz to Newsmax: Trump Should Confront Mamdani on Antisemitism
- Gov. Hochul in Talks With Mamdani About Free NYC Buses
- Roger Stone to Newsmax: Mamdani Didn’t Get Confrontation From Trump
- Giuliani to Newsmax: Hosting Mamdani ‘Smart’ but ‘Makes Me Sick’
- Mamdani Stands by Trump Criticism Despite Friendly White House Meeting
- Mamdani’s Father Called Holocaust Survivors ‘Today’s Perpetrators’ in 2002 Lecture
- Stefanik on Mamdani: ‘Catastrophic’ for the People of NYC
- Mamdani Taps Adviser Who Penned Anti-Policing Book
- Mamdani Appoints Fmr Women’s March Leader, Who Resigned Over Jew-Hatred, to Transition Team
Meanwhile, Newsmax columnist continued their freakout mode:
The election of Zohran Mamdani, an anti-Semite communist Muslim, as mayor of what was the center of capitalism, should have shocked everyone.
Mamdani is a 34-year-old Ugandan native who didn’t become a U.S. citizen until 2018 and has never run so much as a Kool-Aid stand.
As a result, New Yorkers can look forward to a loss of private property rights, crippling taxation, and a rise in crime due to a diminished police presence.
[…]Mamdani’s campaign came to the attention of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who gave a warning a few months before his assassination.
“It’s not Islamophobia to notice that a man who wants to globalize the intifada is about to run America’s largest and once greatest city,” he said.
“It’s not Islamophobia to notice that Muslims want to import values into the West that seek to destabilize our civilization.”

In case you imagine that you just woke up after a very scary belated Halloween-induced nightmare, no . . . it really happened!
A 34-year-old Marxist with no business experience just became mayor of New York, our nation’s largest city and leading world capitalist citadel along with its adopted $116 billion 2026 budget.
Be warned that although Mayor Zohran Mamdani brings lots of fresh new ideas about ways to spend that money, it won’t be nearly enough to carry out rosy Big Apple promises which apparently brought him election victory.
[…]The Mamdani Socialist cum Marxist election win of America’s largest city and economic Wall Street capitol portends a spectacularly transformational and costly national wakeup call, launching one of the greatest social and financial wars in U.S. history.
The ultimate outcome will determine whether income redistribution premised on vague fantasies that big government bureaucracies can be trusted to make more-informed decisions about our welfare than the judgement of taxpaying citizens who elect and pay them.

The limited 2025 elections came and went and, truth be told, we on the right got our butts kicked. New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, California and Maine; they won.
We lost – big time!
Let’s start with the main event; the election for New York City mayoralty.
If you read my recent post, “Mamdani,” you had a sneak preview. It was all Mamdani. Socialism (Communism?) comes to the Big Apple.
As a native New Yorker (Brooklynite), I was rooting against Mamdani, even as I predicted his victory. Plan B? Let Mamdani govern. Let’s see what he has.
As former Mayor Koch said upon losing an election, “The people have spoken. Now they will be punished.”
That’s my guess.

The Big Apple was once the heart of American capitalism.
Zohran Mamdan’s rise to power is thanks to the votes of young people in their 20s.
Do they have one iota of a clue what they’re asking for?
Imagine if all of America became socialist tomorrow, as these young voters undoubtedly want. Some of us ask, “How long would the typical American today last during a prolonged power or internet outage?”
Millions of people would have to put down their phones and find something else to do.
Far worse, however, is the brand of poverty that socialism brings.
[…]The Mamdani election shows just how divided America is.
Yes, Manhattan is deeply blue.
But not terribly long ago Giuliani was Gotham’s mayor.
Now, Democrats like Andrew Cuomo seem like Ronald Reagan compared to what’s coming. But America is hopelessly divided. Not by race so much as by where you live — urban versus rural.
[…]At a minimum, even without a civil war, our states will have to split up.
You can’t reconcile Mamdani and the Bill of Rights.
And lovers of liberty and civilization can’t and will never coexist with the ignorant fools who voted for him, as well as the evil totalitarians who funded him.
[…]The level of ignorance among the left-wing and left-wing-by-default, i.e., millions of young people who will vote for totalitarian blockheads like Mamdani, Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., s staggering.
