Beyond mere hypocrisy: the real Zohran Mamdani revealed
By Stu Tarlowe
You may have heard that NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani has never had an actual job. That’s not entirely true. In 2016, he was trying very hard to make a career for himself as a “rapper,” billing himself as “Young Cardamom.” Here’s an example of his work:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZuw0Vvxv3gIn that video, Mamdani, who as a politician has called for a widespread ban on guns, as a rapper brandishes a gun and, as is so very typical of “rap music” videos, glorifies and glamorizes gun violence, although in this case it’s not set in one of America’s “inner cities” but in the Lowero Triangle of Uganda, north of Kampala, during the Ugandan Bush War of 1980-1986. Zohran Mamdani was born in Kampala in 1991, so his participation in the war is a fantasy.
My takeaway from this video is not that Mamdani is a hypocrite. That’s not really news. He “identifies” as a Democrat, a Democratic Socialist, and is seen by many as a full-fledged Communist, so hypocrisy is pretty much a given; it goes with the territory, and for his hypocrisy to be put on display (as it is in this video, in light of his later statements about guns) should surprise no one.
