Everything good that happens in New York City these days is suddenly credited to Zohran Mamdani apparently.

Congratulations. There is just a little caveat to add.
By “Zohran’s” do you mean the Macy’s Fireworks that are literally bought, paid for, and produced by a corporate sponsor? https://t.co/OIT7MjNfd8

So, Mamdani is giving away tickets to a fireworks show paid for and produced by one of those big, bad corporations.
It's just like a Commie to take advantage of the work of others. Some things never change.
This is the commie Mamdanistas new shtick of giving him credit for things he has literally nothing to do with because they have no idea how anything in society actually works but it must be the commie government that did it https://t.co/QPuBtrMsIQ

Anything good must belong to Zohran.
lol you’re a muppet https://t.co/5YjOh9FSdt

Here is another example of people insisting that something that has happened every year for decades is because of Mamdani. When people insist on doing this, it undermines the credibility of other arguments they make. https://t.co/zihOUrN0Hw

It's almost like Mamdani's supporters aren't that smart and don't understand how the world works.
“Free fireworks” THEYRE FIREWORKS THEYRE ALWAYS FREE

Free to watch? Absolutely.
— (((Jeremy Posner))) (@jmp_nyc) July 3, 2026
Free to produce? Never has been at that scale. Someone has to pay for it.
The city doesn’t cover that cost, which goes into the millions of dollars. Macy’s does it as a promotional event.
Oh, those nasty corporatists!
Why would I do that? I don’t always go to see fireworks in person on the 4th, but when I have gone, it’s been the Macy’s fireworks going back to before Mamdani was born (also before Andrew Cuomo was in politics and before his father was governor).

Also, pointing out the facts to Mamdani supporters gets them very upset.
Actually, the Mayor’s office organized a lottery to distribute prime viewing spots on city property for the Macy’s fireworks show. https://t.co/0ypFaVZxv3

Here comes the 'well, actually' crew.
Just as his predecessor did. Not sure how that makes it “Mamdani’s fireworks.”
— (((Jeremy Posner))) (@jmp_nyc) July 3, 2026
Dawg he's talking about the ticket lottery which is out of the Mayor's Office

One thing Mamdani's supporters are is persistent.
Which was done by at least the prior two mayors. Not something the current mayor created.

Or theyre trying to organize it a bit so its not first come first serve
— western_man 🇵🇸 🕊 (@Earnest_Voice) July 3, 2026
Zohran actually makes the fireworks himself. He’s like Gandalf.

Literally, his supporters would believe that nonsense.
