House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries got caught red-handed trying to dodge tough questions about his party’s radical socialist candidate. The top Democrat squirmed and bristled when CNBC host Andrew Ross Sorkin pressed him on endorsing New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani. You could see Jeffries getting visibly angry as he realized he walked right into the host’s trap.
Sorkin kept pushing Jeffries on the simple question of whether he would back Mamdani. The House Democrat leader tried every trick in the book to avoid giving a straight answer. He hemmed and hawed like a politician caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
Mamdani is a self-described socialist who has called for defunding the police. This radical candidate wants to bring his far-left agenda to America’s biggest city. Hard-working New Yorkers deserve better than another socialist experiment that will destroy their neighborhoods.
The controversy gets even worse when you look at Mamdani’s living situation. This champagne socialist lives in a rent-controlled apartment while making nearly 150,000 dollars a year. Meanwhile, regular families who make much less money can’t find affordable housing anywhere in the city.
Even Jeffries had to admit the apartment scandal is a legitimate issue that needs addressing. The House leader still refuses to officially endorse his own party’s candidate. That tells you everything you need to know about how toxic this socialist really is.
This whole mess shows how out of touch today’s Democrat Party has become. They push policies that hurt working families while their own candidates live like hypocrites. These elites lecture us about fairness while they game the system for themselves.
Former Governor Andrew Cuomo even proposed “Zohran’s Law” to stop rich people from taking rent-controlled apartments. When you’ve lost Andrew Cuomo, you know your candidate has serious problems. The Democrat establishment is running scared from their own radical base.
American voters are watching these Democrats tie themselves in knots defending the indefensible. We need leaders who will fight for regular families, not socialist hypocrites who preach one thing and live another way. It’s time to reject this radical agenda and get back to common-sense conservative values.
