Kathy Hochul the Clear Loser in Wild NYC Mayoral Debate Between Mamdani, Cuomo, and Sliwa – RedState

In addition to the Virginia attorney general debate, the other noteworthy debate of the evening was the one in the New York City mayoral race.

Democrat Socialist Zohran Mamdani, a New York assemblyman who has had a comfortable polling lead throughout the general campaign season, faced off against disgraced former NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa, who is the founder and CEO of the Guardian Angels non-profit.





The city’s current mayor, Eric Adams, dropped out of the race at the end of September.

Though there was no clear winner in the debate, it was of course quite lively at times, with Cuomo coming out swinging against Mamdani on the issue of the Israel-Hamas war and Mamdani’s refusal to condemn the pro-Hamas “globalize the intifada” chant you frequently hear at the protests Mamdani has defended and sometimes attended. 

In response, Mamdani again falsely accused Israel of genocide and took a swipe at Cuomo for joining Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s defense team in the International Criminal Court case:

In response to Cuomo’s “inexperience” criticism, Mamdani tried to make the race about integrity, something of which the pro-Hamas state lawmaker is also in short supply:

Mamdani also jabbed Cuomo over the 2020 nursing home scandal as he denied he would defund the police if elected mayor, despite prior claims that defunding the police was something that needed to happen:

In this clip, all the candidates sparred with each other over visits to mosques, the Muslim community, and earning trust among Jewish New Yorkers. In addressing Mamdani, Sliwa referenced how another Democrat Socialist mayor of NYC, David Dinkins, “abandoned the Jews for three days” during the deadly 1991 Crown Heights race riots, and said that Jews have no faith that Mamdani will stand with them against antisemitic attacks:





Here, both Sliwa and Mamdani politely informed Cuomo that Trump would “not back down” to him if Cuomo were elected mayor:

On the other hand, there was this odd moment:

And in perhaps the most unintentionally hilarious moment of the night, none of the candidates said they would endorse NY Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), including Mamdani, who sought and got her endorsement in September:





That prompted the following response from NYC Councilwoman Vickie Paladino (R):

Thoughts and prayers, NYC. Just sayin’.

On April 12, 2021, a Knoxville police officer shot and killed an African American male student in a bathroom at Austin-East High School. The incident caused social unrest, and community members began demanding transparency about the shooting, including the release of the officer’s body camera video. On the evening of April 19, 2021, the Defendant and a group of protestors entered the Knoxville City-County Building during a Knox County Commission meeting. The Defendant activated the siren on a bullhorn and spoke through the bullhorn to demand release of the video. Uniformed police officers quickly escorted her and six other individuals out of the building and arrested them for disrupting the meeting. The court upheld defendants’ conviction for “disrupting a lawful meeting,” defined as “with the intent to prevent [a] gathering, … substantially obstruct[ing] or interfere[ing] with the meeting, procession, or gathering by physical action or verbal utterance.” Taken in the light most favorable to the State, the evidence shows that the Defendant posted on Facebook the day before the meeting and the day of the meeting that the protestors were going to “shut down” the meeting. During the meeting, the Defendant used a bullhorn to activate a siren for approximately twenty seconds. Witnesses at trial described the siren as “loud,” “high-pitched,” and “alarming.” Commissioner Jay called for “Officers,” and the Defendant stated through the bullhorn, “Knox County Commission, your meeting is over.” Commissioner Jay tried to bring the meeting back into order by banging his gavel, but the Defendant continued speaking through the bullhorn. Even when officers grabbed her and began escorting her out of the Large Assembly Room, she continued to disrupt the meeting by yelling for the officers to take their hands off her and by repeatedly calling them “murderers.” Commissioner Jay called a ten-minute recess during the incident, telling the jury that it was “virtually impossible” to continue the meeting during the Defendant’s disruption. The Defendant herself testified that the purpose of attending the meeting was to disrupt the Commission’s agenda and to force the Commission to prioritize its discussion on the school shooting. Although the duration of the disruption was about ninety seconds, the jury was able to view multiple videos of the incident and concluded that the Defendant substantially obstructed or interfered with the meeting. The evidence is sufficient to support the Defendant’s conviction. Defendant also claimed the statute was “unconstitutionally vague as applied to her because the statute does not state that it includes government meetings,” but the appellate court concluded that she had waived the argument by not raising it adequately below. Sean F. McDermott, Molly T. Martin, and Franklin Ammons, Assistant District Attorneys General, represent the state.
