With the Big Apple’s future on the line, including resources like an elite NYPD unit, a radical activist assured supporters that she would “hold Zohran accountable” to campaign promises.
On the eve of what many expect will be a mayoral victory for New York State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D), New Yorkers were given the surest preview yet of who would be pulling the strings of the radical worthy of a category all his own as an Islamunist (Islamist communist). Taking to Instagram, activist Linda Sarsour explained to her followers during a livestream that she’d be working from the outside of City Hall to “tell him he’s wrong.”
“Voting for Zohran is not, ‘We’re gonna vote for Zohran and just let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall.’ Our job as a movement is we have to hold whoever goes to City Hall accountable,” said Sarsour in the stream that had some viewing Mamdani as little more than a “Trojan Horse” for “pro-jihadists.”
Linda Sarsour says the pro-jihadists backing Zohran Mamdani “won’t let him do whatever the hell he wants when he gets to City Hall.”
She also bragged she’ll “hold Zohran accountable” to dismantle the NYPD’s SRG counter-terror unit.

Among the campaign promises that she sought to “hold Zohran accountable on,” the activist spoke to the politician’s commitment to shut down the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group, responsible for policing terrorism threats, protests, and riots.
Specifically, in light of her personal disfavor for NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Sarsour expressed, “What’s most important is that in New York City, the police commissioner works for the mayor. They are not a separate elected official. So that means if Zohran says to Tisch, ‘You gotta do A-B-C,’ Tisch gotta do what the mayor says.”
“What are you gonna do to hold your police commissioner accountable to the plan?” she posited in a hypothetical where the NYPD wouldn’t fulfill a radical hamstringing of the police force akin to the disbanding of of the anti-crime unit under then-Mayor Bill de Blasio (D) preempting a spike in crime that successor Mayor Eric Adams had sought to contend with an anti-gun unit and Neighborhood Safety Teams.
“When he does something when he’s in City Hall and he’s wrong, I’m going to tell him he’s wrong,” said Sarsour, who insisted, “I just want you all to know I’m not going to work for the Zohran administration. I’m not going to work in City Hall, because, guess what? There gotta be people like me willing to stay outside.”
“Our friends on the inside need people on the outside to hold them accountable. To say, ‘We see you. We’re paying attention,'” she was reported as saying by Fox News Digital after obtaining the livestream.
The activist also addressed concerns about radical religious views when she insisted, “None of the campaign was ever like ‘Free Palestine’ or the Muslims are going to get extra rights. It just happens to be something that’s part of who Zohran is. But that’s actually not been his campaign.”
Mamdani had previously said that, if elected mayor, the city would arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu while referencing the arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, whose judges were sanctioned by the U.S. State Department.
“This is a city that our values are in line with international law,” contended the mayoral candidate. “It’s time that our actions are also.”
On Mamdani’s ties to radical imam Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Sarsour argued, “You can’t be a Marxist and a jihadist and an Islamist and a fundamental Muslim, or whatever they call him, all at the same time. You gotta pick a side. Either we’re theocrats or we’re leftists. Like these things don’t go together.”
“When Zohran gets inaugurated in January, and as we move forward with this mayor, we have to be the people outside. Zohran is going to have to tell his own critics that are on the other side to basically say, ‘Look out that window, those people outside, these constituents, these activists, these organizers that are outside, I’m accountable to them, because they’re the ones that helped me get there,” asserted the activist who shared her support for other radical candidates, like Minneapolis mayoral candidate Amar Fateh, as she added, “Inshallah (god willing), you know, we start a new type of politics, right?”
