The New York Post created a new cover for Leftist socialist Zohran Mamdani, who won the Democratic primary in the city earlier this week, and it’s perfect.

They are targeting Mamdani’s plan to increase taxes on those in “whiter neighborhoods”, which is exactly what his campaign proposal says in the text.

Here’s the cover:

Here’s what they write, in part:

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani wants to hike property taxes for “richer and whiter neighborhoods” in an eyebrow-raising proposal that aims to ease the burden on homeowners in the outer boroughs.

The soak-the-rich proposal is buried in Mamdani’s campaign platform that calls to fix the city’s notoriously skewed property tax system, in which ritzy brownstones are hit at lower rates than homes and rentals in lower-income neighborhoods.

“Shift the tax burden from overtaxed homeowners in the outer boroughs to more expensive homes in richer and whiter neighborhoods,” the proposal reads.

Democrats and many Republicans have long pushed to fix the out-of-whack system that ends up hitting poorer, often largely black and brown neighborhoods, with higher property taxes than their neighbors in swanky areas that tend to be majority Caucasian.

But Mamdani’s specific mention of “whiter,” wealthier neighborhoods drew outrage from some observers. Many right-wing commentators accused Mamdani, who would be the city’s first mayor of South Asian descent if elected, of targeting white New Yorkers, with one labeling him a “RACIST.”

 
It gets worse. Mamadni’s proposals on defunding the police may cause a mass exodus if he wins. Some are already planning to leave if Mayor Adams or Curtis Sliwa can’t win in November.

A New York City led by socialist Zohran Mamdani will mean a two-pronged breakdown of public safety — crime spiraling out of control, and NYPD officers leaving en masse — experts and veteran cops say.

Critics of the Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner heading into November’s general election aren’t buying Mamdani’s 11th-hour vow that he won’t “defund the police” or shrink the NYPD’s workforce if elected — a reversal of of his longstanding positions.

Instead, they believe the U-turn during the final weeks of his primary campaign was just a craven political move to score votes with undecided voters.

“The city would be totally unsafe for people who live here,” predicted Scott Munro, president of the NYPD Detectives’ Endowment Association.

“I go to bed and worry about the phone ringing. I’m worried about my members getting killed. I don’t want to plan any funerals,” he added.

NYPD brass are quietly bracing for a potential mass exodus unless Mayor Adams, a Democrat and retired NYPD captain seeking re-election as an independent, or GOP mayoral nominee Curtis Sliwa, pull off an upset.

“I’ve had guys call me and say ‘If he wins, I’m quitting,’” a police source said of Mamdani. “It’s just weird that New York City would vote for him. I know he’s not here for the police.”

An NYPD officer planning to soon retire after nearly two decades on the job said the city’s predominantly far-left leadership — especially on the City Council — already favors criminals over cops, and he believes such sentiment would grow worse under Mamdani.

“This guy thinks the entire NYPD is racist,” the veteran said.

This guy is such bad news. New York managed to survive the last socialist they elected, but I don’t know if they can survive this one, who seems far, far worse.
