Denaturalize And Deport Zohran Mamdani For Immigration Fraud

As you’ve probably heard, Zohran Mamdani is the communist who recently declared victory in New York City’s Democrat mayoral primary. He is expected to become mayor in November after the general election.

Mamdani made several fraudulent claims when becoming a U.S. citizen in 2018 at the age of 26. Part of the naturalization process Mamdani went through includes the Oath of Allegiance, during which the applicant must recite the following statement: “I will support and defend the Constitution and laws of the United States of America against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

Prior to taking this oath, Mamdani completed Form N-400. Because of what we know about his political ideology, he lied in answering question 5b within part nine of the form — a question that asks the applicant if they have ever advocated for communism, among other inquiries. 

There is no question as to whether Mamdani is a communist. In 2021, Mamdani spoke to the Young Democratic Socialists of America and plainly stated that the “end goal” of his belief system is to “seize the means of production.” In a previous article, I listed Mamdani’s other radical positions, but in calling him a communist, I see no reason to go beyond his stated goal of seizing the means of production, as this is the fundamental economic concept of communism.

Being a communist is mutually exclusive with the Oath of Allegiance — meaning Mamdani committed perjury by making false statements in addition to immigration fraud on Form N-400. Obtuse critics of these claims might question whether Mamdani held communist beliefs while going through the naturalization process.

Mamdani’s interest and activity in politics predate his citizenship. In 2015, he volunteered for Ali Najmi’s campaign for New York City Council’s 23rd District in Queens. Najmi is a far-left criminal defense lawyer practicing in Manhattan. In 2017, Mamdani joined the Democratic Socialists of America and campaigned for Khader El-Yateem, a socialist who at the time was running for city council in New York City. 

The Democratic Socialists of America is a de facto communist organization, which means that Mamdani joined a communist enterprise prior to becoming a U.S. citizen. No meaningful difference distinguishes socialism and communism — only trivial, superficial divergences that amount to distinctions without differences. These are well-documented historical facts. Friedrich Hayek’s “The Road to Serfdom” is a compendium of brilliant elucidations that detail the inseparable relationship between socialism, totalitarianism, and tyranny.

Socialist Zohran Mamdani’s former staffers include woman who accosted NYPD, man who solicited minor for sex

It has been revealed that socialist Zohran Mamdani‘s campaign staff has included a young woman who accosted a police officer in New York City as well as a male staffer who solicited sex from a minor.

Hadeeqa Arzoo Malik interned over the summer last year, according to a post from documenting Jew Hatred. Malik is seen yelling in the faces of police officers in New York, calling the police pigs, and yelled, “We read the badges of the pigs. So to the Rahman’s and the Mahammad’s. To the Ali’s and the Abdullah’s. To the Rafid’s. To the pigs. Who can call themselves by the name of Islam. To the Muhammad’s. Put some respect on that name!”

She yelled as a crowd of protesters chanted after her in the video and repeatedly yelled in the face of a police officer who then stepped out of the police line.

During the Pandemic, NYC Communist Zohran Mamdani Called to ‘Seize’ the Homes of the Rich for the Homeless

Over the course of just a few weeks, it has been revealed that NYC communist and Democrat nominee for mayor, Zohran Mamdani has embraced nearly every stereotypical Marxist slogan that has ever been uttered.

It’s not just words, either. His entire political and policy platform is communist.

Now it is being reported that during Covid, Mamdani called on people to ‘seize’ the ‘luxury’ homes of the rich for the homeless.

Should we start with his?

FOX News reports:

Socialist NYC mayoral candidate Mamdani once called to ‘seize’ luxury homes to house homeless during COVID

Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party’s candidate for New York City mayor and a self-proclaimed socialist, is once again garnering backlash for previous comments he has made espousing language steeped in radical socialist and communist ideology.

Mamdani, this time, is getting blasted for calling on the government to “seize” luxury condos to house the homeless during the coronavirus pandemic.

The unearthed remarks, stemming from a March 2020 social media post, followed news of separate rediscovered remarks from Mamdami touting the need to “de-commodify” housing through replacing luxury condos with communal-style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops.

“The oligarchs who want us to return to work to goose the stock market are the same ones with thousands of luxury condos as investment properties, sitting empty while NYers die on the streets & in shelters,” Mamdani wrote on social media in response to a news report claiming the first homeless person in New York City with the coronavirus had passed away amid the pandemic.

This guy makes AOC look like a moderate.

New York Times Readers and Staffers Unable to Handle a Rare Brush with Objective Journalism

The New York Times is experiencing backlash among its staff and readers after it held New York City mayor candidate Zohran Mamdani to account on Thursday for apparently lying on his application to Columbia University by claiming he was black.

Law professor and legal commentator Jonathan Turley wrote about the incident on his website Sunday, detailing the drama unfolding at the paper of record.

“The paper was denounced by its own staff and liberal pundits called for the entire editorial staff to be canned,” Turley wrote. “Why? Because The New York Times actually reported news that was deemed harmful to the Democrats, specifically Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani.”

The Times’ assistant managing editor for Standards and Trust, Patrick Healy, wrote a long thread on the social media site X that stated: “When we hear anything of news value, we try to confirm it through direct sources. Mr. Mamdani confirmed this information in an interview with The Times.”

Healy seemed like a hostage. He rattled off 11 tweets as if he was waving his hands in the air, screaming his defense. Ultimately, he bowed to the mob.

The Times couldn’t have pulled the story. That would’ve been professional suicide. But this step-by-step explainer was the next best thing. This is not a good look for American journalism.

“For liberals, it was an utter nightmare,” Turley continued. “For a party still defined by identity politics, Mamdani’s false claim over his race left many uncertain about how to react. The left has always maintained a high degree of tolerance for false claims by its own leaders, from Sen. Elizabeth Warren claiming to be a native American to Sen. Richard Blumenthal claiming to have served in the Vietnam War.”

Turley also rightly pointed out that many people who patronize the Times are emotionally triggered. The legal scholar highlighted the “anger” felt by the far-left when this happens and compared it to how liberals on college campuses feel when opposing views are offered.

“The fact is that the Mamdani story was obvious news — and confirmed by the candidate himself,” Turley declared. “Mamdani identified as both Asian and African American on his 2009 Columbia University application, according to the New York Times.”

The Times piece stated: “Columbia, like many elite universities, used a race-conscious affirmative action admissions program at the time. Reporting that his race was Black or African American in addition to Asian could have given an advantage to Mr. Mamdani, who was born in Uganda and spent his earliest years there.”

“In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Mamdani, 33, said he did not consider himself either Black or African American, but rather ‘an American who was born in Africa,’” the story continued. “He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process.”

Mamdani cheated the system, and in the end, he didn’t even get accepted to Columbia. For someone who pushes “equality” at all costs, isn’t that significant? Doesn’t it prove he’s a liar, a fraud, and an opportunist?

Politifact: You Can’t Call Mamdani A Communist Just Because He Said All These Communist Things

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat nominee for mayor of New York City, is a socialist. He is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which endorses him, and his platform is filled with socialist/communist ideas.

Mamdani envisions government-run grocery stores, free bus fares, free childcare, and government housing.

But PolitiFact, which fancies itself the nation’s ultimate fact checker, has produced two pieces declaring President Donald Trump’s social media post calling Mamdani “a 100% Communist Lunatic,” false.

The first item, written by Ella Moore, Amy Sherman, and Caryn Baird, simply challenged Trump’s post. Notably, PolitiFact only investigated the communist claim. It did not challenge the claim that Mamdani is a lunatic.

“Mamdani’s platform calls for making transportation, housing and groceries more affordable, but experts say he hasn’t espoused key tenets of communism, such as government takeover of industry and private property,” the PolitiFact piece reads, and it stresses that “Mamdani does not call for getting rid of private ownership.”

But he doesn’t have to “call for” it for his policies to make it happen.

PolitiFact failed to mention Mamdani’s 2020 social media post in which he praised a communist mayor in India, saying this is the kind of mayor New York City needs. Politifact claimed, “We won’t dwell on the latter post because Mamdani’s point isn’t clear.”

Zohran Mamdani describes literal communism and it’s what he wants to do to New York City

Zohran Mamdani proposes literal communism for housing in New York City: a real threat to private property and the free market

Socialism is no longer hiding behind feel-good phrases or idealistic speeches. In New York City, Democratic candidate Zohran Mamdani has made it clear he wants to push his economic vision to the extreme: eliminate the free market and replace it with full-blown communism, starting with housing. His recent statements are as alarming as they are revealing, and should concern not only New York voters but the entire country.

Mamdani wants to create Community Land Trusts to gradually buy private housing and convert it into “community property.” In other words, absorb or confiscate the wealth of thousands of homeowners under the guise of social justice. On top of that, he proposes giving tenants the right of first refusal to buy their buildings when they go on sale — a surefire way to drive away real estate investment and kill private initiative.

And that’s not all. His plan includes removing subsidies for luxury developments — which often help fund public services and improve city infrastructure — and redirecting that wealth to build “social housing.” In practice, this would mean state-run projects with excessive regulation and little quality control. History has proven these centralized solutions lead to decay, not thriving communities.

These aren’t just vague theories. Mamdani openly admits that his political goal is “to take control of the means of production,” a line taken straight from the communist playbook. This mindset has no place in a city that owes its prosperity to commerce, entrepreneurship, and individual liberty.

Mamdani wants to implement this communist agenda in the financial capital of the world. Could there be anything more ironic? The very city that stands as a monument to free enterprise would be run by someone who despises it. If he succeeds, he won’t just damage New York — he’ll set a dangerous precedent for cities across America.

As National Review points out, his plans extend beyond housing to include grocery stores, utilities, and more — all showing a clear pattern of total state control. These ideas have failed miserably in Venezuela, Cuba, and the former Soviet Union. Importing them into New York is not just foolish, it’s a betrayal of everything that made the city great.

Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani: From Stealth Socialism to Open Socialism

Barack Obama and Zohran Mamdani may represent different generations and political climates, but their ideological similarities are striking. Obama embraced a strategy of stealth socialism, while Mamdani champions open socialism. Understanding their trajectories reveals the transformation of American politics over the past two decades.

Those familiar with Barack Obama’s background recognize his ideological roots in radical socialism and Marxist thought. In my 2012 film Dreams from My Real Father, I presented evidence that Obama was radicalized and likely fathered by Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA member who raised Obama during his formative years in Hawaii.

When Obama emerged on the national stage in 2007, he masked his socialist ideology. Aware that open socialism would doom his presidential ambitions, he ran as a mainstream candidate.

Obama pledged to uphold the Constitution, supported traditional marriage, and claimed solidarity with Israel.

Yet, Obama’s true convictions would occasionally surface spontaneously, most notably when he spoke of “spreading the wealth around,” proposed a “civilian national security force,” and declared “we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America”.

Once in office, Obama threw his voters under to bus to pursue his socialist agenda that no one voted for.

Enter Zohran Mamdani, a result of a Democrat party political era shaped for years by Barack Obama. At the 2021 Young Democratic Socialists of America conference, he stated, “The purpose of this entire project is not simply to raise class consciousness, but to win socialism… and elect leaders who are unapologetic about our socialism.” Today, unlike Obama, Mamdani feels no need to conceal his socialist ideology.

Let’s look at the many parallels shared by Obama and Mamdani.

Resurfaced video shows NYC mayoral hopeful saying he wants to replace private homes with communal living

Zohran Mamdani, the democratic socialist candidate for New York City mayor, has come under fire from critics who label him a “communist” – a charge he dismisses as a distraction.

However, the criticisms may not be as unfounded as Mamdani claims. Videos show the NYC mayoral candidate espousing language and theories rooted in communist revolutionary language. 

In one 2021 video, Mamdani urges fellow socialists at a conference to not compromise on goals like “seizing the means of production.” In a second video, released on YouTube by progressive advocacy group The Gravel Institute that same year, Mamdani discusses the need to turn housing from a private commodity to a public one, calling for luxury condos to be replaced with communal style living that would include things like shared laundry facilities and food co-ops.

“Why do so many people end up homeless?” Mamdani asks in the video. “It’s not because there aren’t enough homes to go around, there are plenty of empty homes. No. It’s because housing people is not a primary goal of developers or landlords. Their goal, simply put, is to make a profit.”

According to Mamdani, this is a problem. He lamented in the video that housing is “a consumer product, just like clothes or cars” that private businesses sell on the market to make a profit. As a result, Mamdani complains, there is plenty of housing for “the rich” but not nearly enough opportunities for poor and working-class people.

“[It’s] not efficient or beneficial for the rest of society,” Mamdani says. “Housing doesn’t have to be seen as a market at all.”

Revealed: Communist Mayoral Candidate Zohran Mamdani Made an Embarrassing Mistake While Devising Scheme to Fund City-Owned Grocery Stores in New York City

Communist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has struck fear in the hearts of New Yorkers with his radical plans to ruin the most famous city in America. Fortunately, the residents may be spared thanks to his incredible ineptitude.

A report has revealed that Mamdani made an embarrassing mistake while devising a plan to pay for one of his signature policies.

As TGP readers know, Mamdani has said he wants the Big Apple to have five government-owned grocery stores. He sees this as a solution to lowering the cost of food despite the fact that the idea has been tried before and failed miserably .

Mamdani, though, says that because the city is already subsidizing private grocery stores with $140 million, he can take just under half of the money ($60 million) and fulfill his dream.

“We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is lower prices, not price-gouging,” Mamdani claims in one video.

But as the Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney explains, Mamdani has no clue what he is talking about. The money he plans to use to pay for his city-owned grocery stores does not exist.

Carney shared information from The city’s Economic Development Corporation webpage to make his point. The site notes grocery stores have invested $140 million of their own money thanks to a city program called FRESH (Food Retail Expansion to Support Health).

Socialists Don’t Understand Motherhood

Self-proclaimed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani just won New York City’s mayoral primary, and, in a city crawling with Democrats who like free stuff, he’s the favorite to win November’s general election, replacing Eric Adams.

Mamdani—a 33-year-old Bowdoin graduate, with a multimillionaire filmmaker mother and a Columbia-professor father—styles himself a champion for the working class, someone who really understands what they need. 

As such, he advocates for universal child care. “After rent, the biggest cost for New York’s working families is childcare. It’s literally driving them out of the city: New Yorkers with children under six are leaving at double the rate of all others,” reads his platform. “The burden falls heaviest on mothers, who are giving up paying jobs to do unpaid childcare.” He promises to implement free child care for all babies and children aged 6 weeks and above, until they start school at age 5. He wants child care workers to have wage parity with public school teachers

This program could take the form of an expansion of the city’s existing 3K program, or could be an entirely new state-run day care program. It’s not totally clear what he intends. His platform is characteristically heavy on the graphic design, light on the details. 

But Mamdani, and all others who advocate universal publicly-funded child care, mistake the needs that mothers actually have—the things they say they want, the types of child care arrangements they favor—assuming all parents want the state to sublimate their roles. Socialists pretend they want to support mothers and motherhood. But they don’t understand what type of help mothers need at all.

In 2022, the think tank Institute for Family Studies asked mothers of children under 18 what their “ideal situation” would be, in terms of time spent with kids vs. working. They found that 42 percent of mothers wanted to work full-time; 32 percent had an ideal of part-time work; and 22 percent would ideally choose no paid work at all. A Pew Research Center survey from three years prior found much the same: Half of moms said it would be “best for them” to work full-time, with 30 percent choosing part-time work and 19 percent choosing none at all. As of 2018, the majority of mothers with kids under 18—55 percent—are engaged in full-time work, up from 34 percent in 1968. And the share of mothers with little kids—those who have not yet entered school—in the work force went from 8 percent in 1940 to over 60 percent by 2000. It has only risen since. 

Of course, “in the work force” isn’t necessarily the same as “not engaged in the daily labor of childrearing.” The advent of remote work has enabled more creative arrangements than ever before, with parents increasingly using the shift system and staggering work hours. Socialists don’t give much credit to the many ways companies accommodate working parents—whether corporate overlords mean to or not—when they allow greater flexibility in the workday and for different people to work at different paces and in different shifts. What can benefit the company can also benefit the family.

“An ideal childcare system,” writes Ivana Greco, a writer/homeschooler/lawyer-by-training with four kids, “takes into account the full range of ‘childcare,’ including parents, extended family, friends, and neighbors.” It “considers and respects the wishes and needs of individual families, which will be different both from family to family and from time period to time period.” It should allow for flexibility, which means it should provide “access to drop-in, part-time, or irregular hours” child care. It’s “mindful of cost, broadly speaking, including second-order effects and non-economic costs.” 

Mamdani’s proposal meets zero out of four of Greco’s criteria. Socialists, in general, don’t tailor to such criteria—or even necessarily understand it or wish to honor it—when crafting plans for universal child care.
