New York City's charismatic new socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has a ruthless and tyrannical streak behind closed doors, progressives who have crossed him say.

The 34-year-old skyrocketed to popularity among New Yorkers and Americans alike during his mayoral campaign as his team positioned him as a man of the people.

Known for his smiling and seemingly unflappable attitude, Mamdani attacked both Donald Trump and New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a fellow Democrat whom he deemed too centrist. 

But sources inside Mamdani's political circle have now alleged that the mayor wields his power for personal gain and has no qualms sidelining old friends or his ideologies to further his agenda, The New York Times reported. He has been accused of snubbing friends, meddling in political campaigns and strong-arming liberal nonprofits to protect his own interests. ...

Mamdani has demonstrated campaign tyranny since he was elected mayor last November, the insiders alleged.

Just last month, he reportedly blocked the Working Families Party from backing Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado's gubernatorial campaign in an attempt to protect his working relationship with Hochul, despite previously bashing her. But this was not the first time that Mamdani has seemingly done Hochul's bidding.  ...

Shocked I tell you!   

He's already burning his friends and supporters who got him there, and ticking off bigger NY and DC Democrat wigs, so he's already sown the seeds of his eventual fall but he's too power drunk to realize it yet.
