Former New York City mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa (R) defended Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) ahead of his swearing-in, but described the recent meeting between him and President Trump as them being “actors” in a “love-fest.”
Sliwa spoke for an interview with The Wall Street Journal on Monday. When asked if he would have other New Yorkers give Mamdani a chance, he said, “Absolutely.”
“He won a majority,” he told the Journal. “He has a mandate. The Masters of the Universe, the billionaires, did everything they could to make sure he wasn’t the mayor. It didn’t work. He’s a great organizer.”
He said he agreed with Mamdani about addressing the cost of living in New York City and said it was “ridiculous” to call the mayor a communist. Mamdani identifies as a democratic socialist, and Sliwa said the city has a “long history” of socialism, referring to former Mayor David Dinkins (D).
“If Zohran has a problem, it’s the Zohran-worship,” Sliwa said. “There are a lot of Zohranistas who have fallen into idolatry over Zohran. He has such a passionate following. It’s like they don’t see that he’s fallible. It’s like Trump with his followers, his zealots.”
