As we told you over the weekend, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that he was asking for people to sign up to work as snow shovelers while a blizzard was approaching the area.
There are now two facepalm-inducing aspects to this story.
The first is that Mamdani made it clear that those wishing to work as snow shovelers (who will now be paid $30 per hour) would need multiple forms of identification in order to get paid for that job. When it comes to voting, however, Mamdani is among those on the Left who believe that's a horrible, racist and sexist requirement.
Now for the second aspect...
Mamdani's answer after being questioned about his "ID to shovel snow" hypocrisy allegations is just *chef's kiss* special. Watch:
Zohran Mamdani defending requiring ID to shovel snow but not to vote: “Here in New York City we follow the law and it’s federal law to require certain forms of identification…”

"Here in New York City we follow the law, and it's federal law to require" identification to be paid to work.
Yeah, well immigration laws are also federal but Mamdani has no problem acting defiant in the face of those regs.
Please keep him out front. It’s hilarious every day https://t.co/pQ2nBgcwhM

Selective following …..how about being a “sanctuary city” that not following the law

Being a leftist like Mamdani means never having to be able to reconcile your whacko positions.
