In remarks that many will not find surprising, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani revealed that illegal immigrants canvassed for him during his campaign for office.
The far-left Democrat seemed to let the cat out of the bag about his campaign and what appears to be a violation of federal election laws.
“I heard from an older Bangladeshi woman who told me she canvassed me over the course of this campaign in fear of whether she would be picked up in the course of knocking on doors, because she was even afraid to go to the grocery store,” the Democratic Socialist said.
Mamdani admits he committed a federal crime by having illegals participate in his campaign.
What’s next, Mamdani will admit he helped illegals vote for him too?pic.twitter.com/byaDHyd2Ib

“And I think what we’ve seen under this current administration here in New York City is an unwillingness to stand up for the laws we already have here,” Mamdani added in a reference to the Big Apple’s sanctuary laws.
But employing illegal immigrants violates federal law, which trumps the city’s sanctuary polices as well.
So an illegal alien actively interfered in the NYC mayoral election?
I thought the left hated foreign election interference????? https://t.co/N6BYaqirkG

Mamdani is scheduled to meet with President Donald Trump at the White House on Friday.
“I want to just speak plainly to the president about what it means to actually stand up for New Yorkers and the way in which New Yorkers are struggling to afford this city,” Mamdani said on MS NOW, formerly MSNBC, on Wednesday.
“As is customary for an incoming mayoral administration, the Mayor-elect plans to meet with the President in Washington to discuss public safety, economic security and the affordability agenda that over one million New Yorkers voted for just two weeks ago,” a spokesperson for the incoming mayor said in a statement.
Trump announced the upcoming Oval Office meeting in a Truth Social post about the “Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran ‘Kwame’ Mamdani.”

Mamdani’s latest remarks about illegal aliens helping his campaign sparked outrage on social media.
Normal people would question their politics, beliefs and policies if criminals supported them this way, but this idiot brags about it

Not a shock unfortantely – that’s why the majority of people who voted for this guy are not real long time New Yorkers. Even the most left leaning Dems didn’t vote for this

Haha…illegals went from “hiding in the shadows” to boldly knocking on strangers’ doors to ask for a vote for a Commie on their behalf.

I would not be shocked if they also voted for him

I can’t tell if he’s an idiot to say this publicly or he’s absolutely sure the media will cover for him. Probably both.
