Political artist Scott LoBaido isn’t letting a heart attack stop him from speaking out against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
The outspoken activist was attempting to confront the socialist mayor during a pro-police event on Tuesday when he suffered cardiac arrest. Mamdani was booed off stage, and when LoBaido tried to approach him, he collapsed. Emergency services began performing CPR, at which point the artist began breathing again and was rushed to the hospital for further treatment.
It didn’t take long for LoBaido to post on social media again, including a video from his hospital bed, where he shared a message for America.

“Good morning America. Sorry about the dramatic images, but I felt I owe you all a little update on how I am because of the many inquiries and prayers and well-wishes. I’m okay, I’m recovering from the placement of my new Star Trek atomic space atomic influx capacitator,” he joked, gesturing at his bandaged chest. “Eventually, I will, in person, thank those folks who literally brought me back to life. I was flatlined for a couple of minutes.”
“Anyway, I got pulled back,” he continued. “And a lot of you are telling me that it’s time to hang up my sword. But I must assure you, that that is not possible and that will not be happening. Although I am incapacitated today, from my temporary Batcave, I assure you business as usual continues. As all of you folks in New York City will notice today as you look up to the skies, between the hours of 11:30 and 3:30pm.”
NewsMax covered a message from LoBaido to the mayor urging him to “stay away from ground zero.”
