Zohran Mamdani Now Proposing to Defund the Police in NYC in Order to Fund His Radical Agenda

New York City’s new Democratic Socialist (communist) Mayor Zohran Mamdani is having trouble finding the means to fund his radical left-wing agenda so he is now going to an old favorite for Democrats – defunding the police.

Apparently, Democrats have still not learned their painful lesson in this exercise in stupidity.

To make matters worse, it has now been reported that Mamdani needs so much money because he is creating all kinds of new diversity positions in his cabinet, another lesson the left has not yet learned.

Mamdani's proposed budget is insanity. The top hits:

-$5.6 million for the Office of Racial Equity-$4.6 million for the Commission on Racial Equity-$835K for the Commission on Gender Equity

And to pay for it all he's raising property taxes to 9.5%!pic.twitter.com/yrzRiGwT6i
