Through the New York Metropolis mayoral debate tonight, Democratic Socialist (communist) Zohran Mamdani claimed that he’s not making an attempt to defund the police. But he has known as for defunding the police, a number of occasions.

Mamdani remains to be main within the polls, so who is aware of if it will even make a distinction within the race?

Bear in mind this again in March?
Meet Zohran Mamdani, a NY Assemblyman and NYC Mayoral candidate. He simply appeared to ASSAULT police and screeched like a maniac to protest Tom Homan deporting prison unlawful aliens.
Appears completely regular and steady… pic.twitter.com/Y4bb0FOzEG
