A few days ago, I wrote about the two faces of Zohran Mamdani, as he tried to court the gay community in New York while also embracing the Ugandan leader who helped make homosexuality punishable by death in that country.
Not since Harvey Dent has Gotham had an arch-villain this duplicitous.
But it worked. New York City elected him mayor with over 50 percent of the vote, meaning that he would have won even if everyone who voted for Republican Curtis Sliwa switched their votes to Andrew Cuomo. Obviously, there are a lot of factors involved in his win, mainly the HUGE immigrant, non-English-speaking population that has invaded the city over the last generation.
But another factor was the useful idiots who bought his act. Immediately upon election, Mamdani dropped the pretense, delivering an angry, aggressive victory speech in which he touted socialist Eugene Debs, promised to make the city a haven for illegal immigration, glad-handed with billionaire Alex Soros (to which Walter Kirn hilariously exclaimed, 'This is the EXACT ending of Animal Farm!'), and basically embraced his true Communist nature.
And all of those useful idiots were not just wealthy, leftist white women, or AWFLs. One of them was a commentator on CNN who really should have known better, Van Jones.
Watch below as Jones expresses his shock at Mamdani's furious, extremist victory speech:
CNN's Van Jones was not a fan of Zohran Mamdani's angry, far-left, rage-filled victory speech:

"I think he missed an opportunity. I think the Mamdani that we saw in the campaign trail, who was a lot more calm, who was a lot warmer, who was a lot more embracing, was not present… pic.twitter.com/aM2AlcgM1U
Gosh, you're shocked, Van? You couldn't see this coming?
Well, we suppose we can't blame Jones for that. After all, who could have seen this coming?
Other than, you know, EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO HAS BEEN CALLING MAMDANI OUT ON HIS TRUE NATURE FOR MONTHS.
And I do believe Jones was genuinely surprised here. He drank the Mamdani Kool-Aid and fell for the act hook, line, and sinker. Now, he and the rest of New York are in for a VERY rude awakening when they see how the new mayor is about to govern the city Jones lives in.
All Jones really had to do was listen to his CNN colleague, Scott Jennings, who couldn't help but laugh at Jones's naïveté.
"We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve and no concern too small for it to care about." – Zohran Mamdani

His divisive acceptance speech should send chills down the spine of every freedom-loving American. Good luck, NYC. pic.twitter.com/JdBxABhfqU
Jennings, as usual, is spot on here about everything that Mamdani is. But, of course, none of his colleagues, including Jones, listened to his warnings because he supports Donald Trump.
Well, now they get to learn what happens to Communist cheerleaders after the Communists take control.
(Hint: historically, it doesn't really work out well for them.)
Jennings wasn't alone, of course. Plenty of others have been sounding the warning.
It’s almost like his election character was just an act to make himself more acceptable to voters…

Um, who’s gonna tell Van this is the real Mamdani and he’s just getting started.

You’ve got to be kidding me with this.

Van Jones thought the “globalize the intifada” guy who wants to seize property and defund the police was actually a happy-go-lucky unifier because he made some TikTok videos? https://t.co/db6kiAFDZu
Jones believed this because it's what Jones wanted to believe. Not because he actually looked into Mamdani to figure out who he is.
He made the fatal mistake of buying the narrative that he helped to spin.
Dear Van Jones:

One word:
"Taqiyya."
Your pal,
CP https://t.co/nKTgSq0uPc
Al taqiyya is the Islamic practice of hiding your true nature or concealing your identity. If you go online, leftist sites like Wikipedia will tell you that this is done to escape persecution, but it has an offensive connotation as well: actively deceiving and hiding your nature to infiltrate, take over, and even to wage jihad.
Personally, I don't believe that Mamdani is a devout Muslim, not a jihadist (though he does like to pal around with jihadists). As one of the posts above said, he is a wealthy, Communist theater kid, donning his religion only when speaking about how 'oppressed' he is in the country that gave him everything.
But that doesn't mean he didn't learn to be deceitful from his background. Just look at his parents, who ARE devoutly committed Muslims who hate America.
In Mamdani's case, he didn't practice taqiyya to hide his religion. No, that was a weapon for him. Instead, he took the Islamic practice and used it to try to hide not only his Communism, but the anger and hate that he holds in his heart.
On second thought, maybe he was hiding his true religion after all.
Americans on the right shouted for months about who Mamdani really is. New Yorkers didn't listen. Now, they will suffer the consequences.
For Van Jones, who fell for Mamdani's deception as hard as a 20-year-old, blue-haired, nose-ringed, gender studies major at Columbia University, at least he is wealthy enough to have a second residence in another city that he can flee to when New York crumbles into chaos.
Oh, wait. His other residence is in Los Angeles, where the mayor and governor like to let the city burn and be looted to maintain power.
Well, Van. That's the price you pay for being wilfully blind to who the leaders you promote truly are.
Just don't try to move to a red state. No one there wants you.
