Zohran Mamdani's First Veto As NYC Mayor Surprises Few

Zohran Mamdani has only been in the mayor's office in New York City for a few months, and as we told you earlier this week, it's already backfiring on many of his voters:

Seventy percent of voters in the East Village cast their ballot for Mamdani, so we hope they really enjoy getting what they voted for (they don't seem to be so far). 

Mamdani's naming and shaming of certain evil billionaires not named "Soros" is also starting to backfire. 

The NYC mayor was also enthusiastically endorsed by Mandy Patinkin and his wife before the election last year:

With the above endorsement in mind, Mamdani has used his first veto as mayor, and this is it:

This might surprise some people, but not many.

The last thing @NYCMayor will do is make it more difficult for his antisemitic comrades to threaten Jews. He just will not bring himself to do that. They are his people.

We're pretty sure Zohran's wife applauded his veto.
