Washington Post editorial says Mamdani 'drops the mask' after election win, offers 'seething' victory speech
Fox News
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani faced criticism from The Washington Post on Saturday for his 'seething' victory speech and proposed rent freeze policies in New York City.
The sub-headline warned, "The mayor-elect divides New Yorkers into two groups: the oppressed and their oppressors."
"Across 23 angry minutes laced with identity politics and seething with resentment, Mamdani abandoned his cool disposition and made clear that his view of politics isn’t about unity. It isn’t about letting people build better lives for themselves. It is about identifying class enemies — from landlords who take advantage of tenants to ‘the bosses’ who exploit workers — and then crushing them," the editorial board wrote. "His goal is not to increase wealth but to dole it out to favored groups. The word ‘growth’ didn’t appear in the speech, but President Donald Trump garnered eight mentions."
