Exposed! Socialist Candidate’s Secret Security Scandal

New York City’s socialist mayoral candidate, State Rep. Zohran Mamdani (D-NY), has been exposed for his staggering hypocrisy—demanding radical cuts to the NYPD while quietly hiring private security for himself. According to a Gothamist report, Mamdani’s campaign paid $8,000 to a security firm in June, proving that even the most vocal “defund the police” activists don’t actually believe in their own dangerous rhetoric when it comes to their personal safety.

Mamdani, who has surged in recent polls ahead of the June 24 Democratic primary, has built his campaign on dismantling law enforcement, calling the NYPD “wicked [and] corrupt” in a 2020 post on X. Yet, when faced with threats, he didn’t call on his proposed “Department of Community Safety” or unarmed social workers—he hired armed professionals. This is the same man who wants to divert $1.1 billion from policing to a new bureaucracy that would send counselors instead of cops to 911 calls.

Liberal Media’s Double Standards

The liberal media, always eager to prop up far-left candidates, has largely ignored this glaring contradiction. While The New York Times weakly criticized Mamdani for “minimizing the importance of policing,” they stopped short of calling out his blatant hypocrisy. Meanwhile, if a conservative politician had done the same, the headlines would scream “Elitist GOP Hypocrite!” for days.

Mamdani’s excuse? He claims he’s received racist and anti-Muslim threats, including one message that read, “The only good Muslim is a dead Muslim.” While no one should face such vile rhetoric, his solution—private security—reveals the truth: He knows police are necessary for safety. Yet he’s willing to leave everyday New Yorkers vulnerable by stripping away their protection.

Trump’s Leadership Exposes Left’s Failures

This is exactly why President Donald Trump’s tough-on-crime stance resonates with Americans. While Democrats like Mamdani push policies that embolden criminals, Trump has consistently backed law enforcement, understanding that police—not social workers—are the ones who stop violent criminals. The left’s experiment with defunding the police has been a disaster in cities like Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis, where crime skyrocketed. Now, even liberal elites like Mamdani won’t risk their own safety for their radical ideology.

At last week’s primary debate, Mamdani tried to backtrack, declaring, “I will not defund the police… I will work with the police.” But his record speaks louder than his election-year pivot. New Yorkers aren’t fooled—they’ve seen the chaos of soft-on-crime policies.
