6. Republicans are loud about him

One could call it a distraction. Mamdani is not white nor Christian. Those who don’t do anything for America spend a lot of time demonizing easy targets which distract from their ineptitude and incompetence. Just today lil
Mike Johnson said democrats are in disarray and are now led by a communist. If you have no shame or integrity it’s easy to live such an existence and say such things.

I’m white and Christian and I’m happy to let New Yorkers elect their Mayor.
