Zohran Mamdani on Thursday night treated New Yorkers to a preview of what they can expect if he wins: Outright lies, deflection from direct questions and fantasy economics.
Confronted about his long-stated belief that prostitution should be legal, Mamdani shook his head and said it was all lies — he never said that.
Hah! He said it on the floor of the state Assembly while voting “Yes” on a bill to legalize loitering for the purpose of prostitution: “While this bill does not decriminalize sex work,” Mamdani proclaimed Feb. 2, 2021, “I would like to register my support for such legislation, my eagerness for that debate and for my fundamental belief that sex work is work”. (emphasis ours).
Saying “Sex work is work,” means that selling your body is no different from being a librarian or a waiter.
So Mamdani is either a liar or willfully forgetful.
Asked if he’d attend the parades that mayors typically march in, Mamdani grinned like a skull and said he’d skip some parades because he would be too busy at work; pushed to specify, he shrugged.
Come on: It’s obvious he’ll skip Columbus Day, Israel Day and India Day, for starters, since he’s openly anti-Columbus, anti-Israel and anti-India.
