Zohran Mamdani is starting to exemplify the old saying, “A cheetah does not change his spots.”
The self-proclaimed Democrat Socialist mayor-elect of New York City has already made statements that have even some Democrats, like former Obama administration green energy czar, and current CNN host and commentator Van Jones, questioning how much of a 180 he has done since the results came in on Election Day on Nov. 4.

And it’s not like Democrat leaders don’t know what Mamdani is all about, as we wrote just days before the off-year elections, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) decrying making the extremists in his party the face of its future–and not mincing words on the end-stage of socialism wherever it’s been implemented. My colleague Nick Arama wrote of Sen. Fetterman:
“We all know how socialism works out,” he warned. That’s a short, powerful statement. He doesn’t need to elaborate. Because he’s right. We know. And we don’t want to go there.
Fetterman also slipped in a scolding of the Democrats for still keeping the government shut down, “This is wrong. We are hurting the very people we fight for. We’re getting nothing for them if we continue to keep our government shut down.”
Need even more evidence from this week? I have picked out two for you, readers.
First, the New York chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), according to reports, are putting pressure on Mamdani to implement a wish list of “demands” now that he’s risen to Gracie Mansion, including–among other disturbing radical-left items–a state government adoption of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS). Ominously, as RedState’s Ward Clark wrote, that is not pie in the sky thinking, since Zohran Mamdani has openly supported the antisemitic divestiture movement in the past.

Here’s the second one. Former Miami-Dade mayor and now-Rep. Carlos Gimenez (R-FL-28) isn’t staying silent over what his family witnessed as survivors of a brutal Communist regime–and he has a powerful warning about “Communists and Marxists” like Mamdani who try to trick people into buying into what amounts to Marxism–whatever they might call themselves politically
As Gimenez wrote in a post sharing a video on his X account:
I’m the only Member of Congress born in #Cuba.
My family was forced from home after the Communist takeover — I recognize the extremists when I see them.
Mamdani is a Marxist & we need to fight that much harder to stop this fringe Democrat experiment for America!

“I didn’t speak a word of English when I got here, I was seven years old, and the reason I’m here is my parents brought me here seeking freedom,” he said. “Freedom from Communism, freedom from a Marxist regime. So I can tell you, I know a Communist and a Marxist when I see one.”
“They may call themselves socialists, they may call themselves a Democratic Socialist but make no mistake – Mamdani in New York, he’s a Marxist,” he said.
Rep. Gimenez explained that what bothers him is that soon-to-be Mayor Mamdani claims to be “proud” of who he is–then does not proclaim his obvious identity as a Marxist. But the congressman says he knows the obvious reason why:
He couldn’t and he can’t, because he knew he wouldn’t get elected.
Here’s someone we should listen to. We must be on our guard, and warn others who might be unaware of this deceptive ploy by the Left. The perils of Marxism, as our late happy warrior, Andrew Breitbart, warned so many times, are not something to be taken lightly. A far-left radical in that vein, luckily, was not elected as the mayor of another major U.S. city, Minneapolis, on Tuesday.
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis recently said he’s heard from others who fled Castro’s regime that the pitch from Mamdani sounds familiar:
🚨 Cuban exiles are telling Governor @RonDeSantis that Mamdani sounds familiar to what Fidel Castro was promising back in the late 1950s.

Lastly, this X user might have a point about the stakes in this ideological battle:
