Fans of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani were corralled into barricaded pens with no bathrooms or food at the “block party” for his inauguration on Thursday as New York City mayor.
“It’s definitely not a block party,” 30-year-old Astoria resident Danny Mahabir told the New York Post, explaining that he expected food and music on New Year’s Day.
Around 10,000 supporters of the Muslim socialist stood outside City Hall during the event, which Mamdani’s staff called the “Inauguration for a New Era Block Party,” per the report.
Mahabir, who wore three layers of clothes to protect against the frigid 20-degree weather, said he and others were “just stuck behind the barricades watching it on TV.”
The crowd heard other far-left speakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), before Mamdani took the oath of office.
