There was a weird hit piece in the NY Times yesterday targeting. Zohran Mamdani, the democratic candidate for NYC Mayor. The attempted smear itself was so stupid and badly executed that it’s not worth discussing.
But what is worth discussing is why the NY Times is running nonsensical “articles” trying to take this man down. This is the sort of thing that I have come to expect from the idiot in the White House, but not from the newspaper of record.
I wonder what the three people who wrote this article — Benjamin Ryan, Nicholas Fandos and Dana Rubinstein — thought would be the result of such an ill conceived and transparent attack. If the goal here was to turn voters against him, it was a very poor move.
Anyone with half a brain will see this kind of smear attempt for what it is, and will become only more sympathetic to the candidate. After all, we are left wondering, who is so afraid of this man that they are trying to use ridiculous “smears” to derail his campaign?
One can only conclude that Mamdani is doing something right.
