'JEW HATER': Trump unleashes multiple attacks on Zohran Mamdani, backs Cuomo as NYC mayoral election looms
In the lead-up to Election Day in New York City on Tuesday, President Donald Trump posted several attacks on Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who is expected to win despite his socialist views.
On Tuesday morning, Trump posted: "Any Jewish person that votes for Zohran Mamdani, a proven and self professed JEW HATER, is a stupid person!!!"
Mamdani, whom Trump called a "100% Communist Lunatic" back in June, is considered to be the front-runner heading into the election, particularly after he gained the endorsement of New York Governor Kathy Hochul and other Democrat leaders.

On Monday afternoon, Trump threatened to withhold all extra federal funds in the event that Mamdani wins the election "because of the fact that, as a Communist, this once great City has ZERO chance of success, or even survival! It can only get worse with a Communist at the helm, and I don’t want to send, as President, good money after bad."
The post continued: "His principles have been tested for over a thousand years, and never once have they been successful. I would much rather see a Democrat, who has had a Record of Success, WIN, than a Communist with no experience and a Record of COMPLETE AND TOTAL FAILURE. He was nothing as an Assemblyman, ranked at the bottom of the class and, as Mayor of potentially, again, the Greatest City in the World, HE HAS NO CHANCE to bring it back to its former Glory!"
Trump also told voters that they "have no choice" but to vote for former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, since "a vote for Curtis Sliwa [R] is a vote for Mamdani."
Trump's criticisms of Mamdani, which date back at least to late June, ramped up in the last week. On October 29, Trump said, "The more people learn about Mamdani, the less they like him!"

Radicals decry demise of Teen Vogue — the propaganda rag that pushed anal sex and Marx on minors
Teen Vogue was originally launched in 2003 as a teenage girl-targeting print counterpart to publisher Condé Nast's fashion magazine Vogue. Since its quarterly print run was brought to an end in 2017, the leftist propaganda mill continued independently online — until now.
Radicals are clutching pearls as it is clear that the publication will survive in name but not in spirit.
'19 Best Anal Lubes for Slick and Pain-Free Insertion.'
Teen Vogue's leftist editor in chief Versha Sharma is leaving the company, and Teen Vogue is being absorbed into Vogue.com.
According to Vogue, "the title will remain a distinct editorial property, with its own identity and mission"; however, it will now "focus its content on career development, cultural leadership, and other issues that matter most to young people."
The union representing the propagandists at Teen Vogue condemned the decision to park the blog under the broader Vogue.com umbrella, complaining that the shake-up was "disproportionately impacting marginalized employees," as the majority of those now allegedly facing termination are "BIPOC women or trans."
Lex McMenamin, the plural-pronoun-providing radical who served as the blog's news and politics editor since 2021, confirmed that she was laid off along with multiple other staffers on Monday, noting, "To my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue."
Condé United, the union representing writers at the blog, suggested that the move was "clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine's insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most."
Some of the usual suspects have echoed this suggestion that the content published on the blog under Sharma's leadership was of journalistic value.
Alejandra Caraballo, a transvestite activist and Harvard Law School clinical instructor, for instance, wrote, "They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs."
Caraballo added, "It's resegregation in real time."
Cross-dressing Montana state Rep. Zooey Zephyr (D) stated, "The loss of the politics staff at Teen Vogue is an absolute travesty. In a media marketplace that has been decimated by billionaires, tepid takes, and AI slop, Teen Vogue often stood out as a bastion of principled, purposeful journalism."
Here are a few examples of the supposed "principled, purposeful journalism" Teen Vogue has been churning out in recent years:
- "How to Finger Someone (Including Yourself), According to Sexperts" — Oct. 31, 2025;
- "Anal Sex: Safety, How tos, Tips, and More" — Nov. 12, 2019;
- "The Polyamory Workbook: How I Discovered Nonmonogamy" — Nov. 15, 2022;
- "6 Intersex People on Why Gender-Affirming Care Bans Are Bad for Everyone" — June 13, 2025; and
- "19 Best Anal Lubes for Slick and Pain-Free Insertion" — June 3, 2023.
The publication has, in fairness, not limited itself to giving minors advice on sodomy and the latest in sex-toy technology.
It has also often promoted gender ideology and abortion — see the Jan. 23, 2025, piece titled "The Sex Lives of College Girls Needs an Abortion Storyline" — and pushed a significant amount of leftist agitprop.
RELATED: Assata Shakur and 6 more: A rogues' gallery of leftist America's heroes
For instance, in a piece published last month titled "Trump and Republicans Want to 'Un-Cancel' Columbus Day, Erasing Indigenous Peoples Day," the blog suggested that Christopher Columbus was little more than an Italian "who brought disease, colonization, and enslavement" to the Americas.
Amid the deadly Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, Teen Vogue published a list of bail funds to which readers could contribute in order to spring rioters from jail.
In a politics article explaining how teens can "learn the legacy of Marx's ideas and how they're relevant to the current political climate," the author emphasized to teens that they should think like pinkos even if they aren't card-carrying communists: "While you may not necessarily identify as a Marxist, socialist, or communist, you can still use Karl Marx’s ideas to use history and class struggles to better understand how the current sociopolitical climate in America came to be."
Teen Vogue made clear that thinking like Marx was acceptable but that conservative thought and lifestyles were beyond the pale.
A December Teen Vogue op-ed warned about the threat posed to America's "progressive new future" by those young women who would dare embrace traditional gender roles and stay home to tend children.
"With clearly defined gender roles and responsibilities, trad wife and traditional masculine content in the manopshere works to convince a new generation of would-be population breeders and workers to embrace fundamentalist values," said the piece. "This is not a new trend but an old belief system with worn methods that perform until people who know better, choose better.'
While happy to characterize conservatives as extremists, Teen Vogue routinely painted leftist radicals and thugs as saints, printing, for instance, a hagiography for convicted cop-killer and Marxist fugitive Assata Shakur.
Shakur was a member of a terrorist militant group, the Black Liberation Army. She was convicted in 1977 of the first-degree murder of New Jersey Trooper Werner Foerster. Although she was supposed to spend her life in prison, she escaped in 1979 to communist Cuba.
Teen Vogue's obituary for the cop-killer, titled "Assata Shakur Was a Black Revolutionary Who Fought for Freedom Even in Exile," cast doubt on her guilt and concluded, "To many, including those posting in honor of her after her death, Shakur will be remembered as a revolutionary who fought for her freedom and won."
Chloe Malle, Vogue's head of editorial content, said in a statement, "I remember when Teen Vogue launched. I read every page on the bus home from cross-country practice. I loved it then, and I love and respect it now and am committed to continuing and supporting its point of view and sensibility."

Zohran Mamdani’s Soviet dream for New York City
At a packed rally in Queens on Sunday, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani reinforced his far-left vision for remaking America’s largest city.
Among his proposals: government-run grocery stores, free public transportation, 200,000 government-built apartments, universal childcare, and a rent freeze for the city’s one million rent-stabilized apartments.
Only a socialist could argue that taking away people’s property rights and centralizing power enhances individual freedom.
The price tag for Mamdani’s most ambitious ideas comes to nearly $7 billion a year — more than the city’s entire police budget.
Mamdani, a self-described democratic socialist, shared the stage with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), two of the country’s best-known socialist stars. Both praised Mamdani as the future of progressive politics.
Like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez, Mamdani claims he can fund his agenda by taxing the rich and targeting corporations. He wants to raise the top corporate tax rate from 7.25% to 11.5% and increase the city’s income tax by two percentage points for anyone earning $1 million or more.
Those ideas have energized his base and helped him surge in the polls. Yet his lead is not secure. Critics from both parties warn that Mamdani’s high-tax, high-spending platform would drive wealthy residents and businesses out of New York, worsening the city’s economic and fiscal problems.
But Mamdani’s biggest obstacle isn’t fiscal — it’s philosophical.
Even in deep-blue New York, voters hesitate to hand power to a democratic socialist. Socialism’s record is clear: It limits freedom, crushes economies, and breeds instability.
To ease those fears, Mamdani’s campaign has begun to reframe socialism as a path to freedom rather than its enemy. At his rally over the weekend, he told the crowd: “No New Yorker should ever be priced out of anything they need to survive. ... It is government’s job to deliver that dignity.” Then he added, “Dignity, my friends, is another way of saying freedom.”
In Mamdani’s view, freedom comes from the state guaranteeing life’s essentials — food, housing, transportation, childcare. To provide those things, government must seize and redistribute private wealth. Mamdani calls this process “delivering dignity,” which he equates with liberty itself.
That logic turns freedom on its head. Only a socialist could argue that taking away people’s property rights and centralizing power enhances individual freedom.
This rhetorical sleight of hand is not new. It’s straight from the socialist and communist propaganda of the 20th century.
Article 39 of the 1936 Soviet Constitution claimed that socialism “ensures enlargement of the rights and freedoms of citizens.” Fidel Castro’s 1976 Cuban Constitution promised “the freedom and full dignity of man” through a state guarantee of social services.
Even Joseph Stalin cloaked authoritarianism in the language of freedom. In a 1936 interview, he insisted that socialism was built “for the sake of real personal liberty,” arguing that “real liberty can exist only where there is no unemployment and poverty.”
Intentionally or not, Mamdani’s speeches echo those same lines. And he’s far from the first democratic socialist to do so. Julius Nyerere in Tanzania, Olof Palme in Sweden, and Aneurin Bevan in Britain all used similar arguments to justify state expansion in the name of “freedom.”
RELATED:Why Zohran Mamdani will be ‘one of the most catastrophic mayors ever’
That’s no coincidence. Mamdani is a student of socialist history, and his rhetoric mirrors the Marxist premise that true liberty requires the abolition of private property. In his 1844 essay “Private Property and Communism,” Karl Marx wrote, “The abolition of private property is therefore the complete emancipation of all human senses and qualities.”
Every socialist movement since has repeated that creed, always promising “real freedom” while consolidating control over wealth, work, and speech.
History shows what those promises yield: less freedom, not more. The more government collectivizes decision-making, the less room individuals have to think, speak, or prosper.
New York City has enormous problems, but reviving the century’s old, failed ideas of socialism won’t solve them. If anything, they’ll accelerate decline.
The city’s revival depends on the principles that built it into a global capital in the first place — limited government, free markets, low taxes, and the liberty to rise through one’s own effort.
If Mamdani truly wants to bring dignity and freedom to New Yorkers, he should reject the hollow slogans of socialism and embrace the real promise of liberty that made America — and New York — great.
Second key staffer leaves campaign of Democratic Senate candidate embroiled in Nazi, communism controversies
Graham Platner, the Maine-based oyster farmer running as a Democrat to challenge Republican Sen. Susan Collins, has lost a great deal more in recent days than his sizeable lead over Gov. Janet Mills in the polls.
Just days after former state Rep. Genevieve McDonald resigned as political director of Platner's campaign, the Democratic candidate's longtime friend Kevin Brown indicated he too was jumping ship, leaving the role of campaign manager open.
'Graham deserves someone who is 100% in on his race.'
Earlier this month, numerous damning posts previously made by Platner on Reddit came to light — including posts where he apparently identified as a communist, branded rural white Americans as racists, suggested service members worried about being raped should buy "Kevlar underwear," joked about homosexuals, promoted political violence, and smeared all police officers as "bastards."
McDonald promptly resigned as the political director of Platner's campaign over the posts, noting, "These statements were not known to me when I agreed to join the campaign, and they are not words or values I can stand behind in a candidate for the United States Senate."
Shortly after Platner apologized for his past remarks on Reddit, footage went viral revealing that he had an apparent "totenkopf" tattoo on his chest — a skull image popularized by Adolf Hitler's SS elite guard and adopted as the symbol of the SS-Totenkopfverbande, the branch that guarded the concentration camps.
While Sens. Martin Heinrich (D-N.M) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and — according to a recent poll — the majority of young Democrats recently indicated that they will stick with Platner despite his incendiary posts and apparent Nazi tattoo, Brown, a Democratic operative who worked on Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren's failed presidential campaign, has revealed he is jumping ship.
Brown indicated that the move, first reported by Axios, was the result of new familial demands on his time.
RELATED: The Democrats’ convenient case of political amnesia
Brown said in a statement obtained by WGME-TV, "Graham is a dear friend. I started this campaign Tuesday but found out Friday we have a baby on the way."
"Graham deserves someone who is 100% in on his race, and we want to lean into this new experience as a family, so it was best we step back sooner than later so Graham can get the manager he deserves," Brown added.
Brown's departure comes just after the Platner campaign reportedly began sending nondisclosure agreements to staffers.
McDonald told Politico that the campaign offered her $15,000 to sign an NDA, but the campaign suggested this amount was a severance payment.
A spokesperson for the campaign indicated that the consulting firm Spruce Street was recently hired to "take over campaign compliance to institute standard practices that had yet to be put into place. Some of those standards had to be instituted retroactively, but as a matter of course we do not require anyone previously involved in the campaign to do so," apparently referring to signing an NDA.
Blaze News has reached out to Platner's campaign for comment.
A SoCal Strategies Maine poll of 500 likely Democratic primary voters conducted October 21-25 found that Mills, who officially jumped into the race on Oct. 14, holds a 5-point lead over Platner, 41%-36%.
Prior to the news of Platner's alleged Nazi tattoo — which the Mainer recently had inked over with supposed Celtic imagery — a University of New Hampshire Survey Center poll indicated that among those who plan to vote in the 2026 state Democratic primary, 58% of respondents said they would support him, and only 24% said they would support Mills.

Trump designates Antifa as a 'MAJOR' terrorist organization — and can likely make the label stick this time
Antifa is a decentralized anarcho-communist militant group that has long threatened lives and property in the United States as well as in Europe. It inherited its name, violent reflexes, and much of its symbology from Antifaschistische Aktion, the paramilitary wing of the Communist Party of Germany in the 1930s.
Amid the Black Lives Matter riots and just 20 days prior to a Trump supporter's murder by an Antifa thug, former Attorney General Bill Barr told Blaze Media co-founder Mark Levin that Antifa is "a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism. They're essentially Bolsheviks. Their tactics are fascistic."
'Expect a lot of liberal and left-wing media propaganda the next few days about Antifa.'
In the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination by a coward whose ammunition was reportedly engraved with Antifa slogans, President Donald Trump signaled a renewed desire to bring the weight of the American republic down on the violent leftist group.
Trump went the distance on Wednesday evening, announcing that he is designating "ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION."
"I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices," added Trump. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"
The FBI has in recent years declined to designate Antifa or any other organization a "domestic terrorist organization," partly in fear of infringing on First Amendment-protected speech. This unwillingness on the part of the FBI helped frustrate Trump's effort to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization during his first term.
There is, however, more than one way to skin a cat.
RELATED: Media tries to protect Antifa with tired al-Qaeda talking points
While various Republican lawmakers have unsuccessfully attempted in recent years to create an official domestic terrorism organization list and put Antifa on it, Secretary of State Marco Rubio can, with relative ease, designate the group as a foreign terrorist organization under Section 219 of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Kyle Shideler, a senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy, told "Blaze News: The Mandate" on Monday that an optimal approach would be to identify a number of foreign Antifa groups, tie them back to an international Antifa network such as the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund, "then you go after U.S.-based groups that are also tied to that international network, and so you build a series of designations that way."
"Now you could argue, and I think it would be legitimate, for a single terrorism designation against Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization," said Shideler. "If you try to designate Antifa just as a single movement, what I suspect you'll find is that the bureaucrats will say, 'We don't know what that is. That's not a thing that exists.'"
Andy Ngo, the journalist who was savagely attacked by Antifa thugs at a Portland, Oregon, protest in May 2019, noted after Trump made his announcement on Wednesday, "Expect a lot of liberal and left-wing media propaganda the next few days about Antifa. They will say the movement doesn't organize into groups and that those groups are peaceful, racial justice activists simply opposed to fascism.
"Don't let them get away with lying," added Ngo.

Trump ready again to label Antifa as terrorists: 'I would do that 100%'
President Donald Trump signaled on Monday that Antifa militants might soon find themselves designated as domestic terrorists.
When asked about such a designation in the wake of his friend Charlie Kirk's assassination by a coward whose ammunition was reportedly engraved with Antifa slogans, the president said, "It's something I would do, yeah."
"I would do that 100% — and others also, by the way," continued Trump. "But Antifa is terrible."
Trump indicated that Attorney General Pam Bondi would likely need to get the ball rolling on the designation and noted that they have been discussing possibly bringing racketeering charges against liberal groups that back similar stripes of leftist extremists.
Blaze News has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller made clear in his Monday conversation with Vice President JD Vance on "The Charlie Kirk Show" that "we are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks."
RELATED: Antifa, gay furries, and bomb codes? What the engravings on the Kirk assassination bullets may mean
"We are going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people," added Miller.
'You fight them with guns so you don’t have to fight them with tanks.'
While Democrats have downplayed Antifa violence and in some cases even denied the group's existence, the president has long understood the real threat posed by the largely decentralized yet deadly revolutionary anarcho-communist group.
After all, they haven't exactly hidden themselves or their intentions.
A Baltimore Antifa militant provided a good insight into the radicals' thinking when he told historian Mark Bray, the author of "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook," that when it comes to fighting so-called fascists, which appears to be a catch-all term for individuals standing in communists' way, "You fight them by writing letters and making phone calls so you don’t have to fight them with fists. You fight them with fists so you don’t have to fight them with knives. You fight them with knives so you don’t have to fight them with guns. You fight them with guns so you don’t have to fight them with tanks."
Evidently, Antifa militants have decided to skip letters and phone calls.
Amid the bloody 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, which inflicted billions of dollars in damage, left thousands of police injured, and claimed the lives of at least 25 Americans, Trump stated, "The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization."
'Now you could argue, and I think it would legitimate, for a single terrorism designation against Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization.'
Then-Attorney General Bill Barr noted, "The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly."
While the State Department has been granted the authority under the law to designate foreign groups as terrorist organizations, America does not similarly have an overarching domestic terrorism statute. As a result, the government tends to investigate and prosecute acts of domestic terrorism on an individual basis.
Various Republican lawmakers have unsuccessfully attempted in recent years to create an official domestic terrorism organization list — and to put Antifa on it.
Kyle Shideler, a senior analyst at the Center for Security Policy, told "Blaze News: The Mandate" on Monday that the Trump administration should instead "induct a number of designations against Antifa-linked groups, primarily in Europe but across the world."
"Now you could argue, and I think it would be legitimate, for a single terrorism designation against Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization," continued Shideler. "If you try to designate Antifa just as a single movement, what I suspect you'll find is that the bureaucrats will say, 'We don't know what that is. That's not a thing that exists.'"
Shideler suggested an optimal approach would be to find a number of foreign Antifa groups, tie them back to an international Antifa network such as the the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund, "then you go after U.S.-based groups that are also tied to that international network, and so you build a series of designations that way."
The Trump White House appears keen on making sure that Antifa militants are held accountable this time around.

If government-funded grocery stores didn’t tip you off that something was off about New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, some recent findings about his past should do the trick.
Mamdani is currently in a very comfortable lead and according to the polls will likely win NYC’s mayoral race, but a recent report claimed that the beloved socialist is tied to the man who funded and staged the anti-ICE riots.
“The anti-ICE riots that weren’t organic. They weren’t grassroots. They weren’t by accident. They weren’t a coalition of outraged individuals who all gathered together to voice their grievances against the government. No, no. They were paid. They were staged. They were orchestrated,” BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler explains.
The man in question behind these anti-ICE riots is Neville Roy Singham, a billionaire who lives in Shanghai.
“Now remember, American citizens don’t get to just live in China the way that we in America allow foreigners to live in our country. In order to live more than a visit to China, that requires special permission from the Chinese Communist Party, which evidently was obtained by Roy Singham, who lives there with his wife,” Wheeler says.
His wife, Jodie Evans, is the founder of the anti-war organization Code Pink.
“You know those angry naked feminists that march around? That’s Jodie Evans’ organization,” she says. “Roy Singham is the man behind the violent riots that we have seen in recent years in the United States of America. Roy Singham funds pro-Hamas groups on college campuses.”
When Zohran Mamdani was in college, he started a chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, which Wheeler says “in and of itself is association with Roy Singham,” but it “just touches the surface.”
On July 12, 2025, the New York Post published an exclusive report on a woman associated with Mamdani’s campaign.
“This report received a fraction of the attention it deserved given what a bombshell revelation it includes,” Wheeler says.
The report claims that the niece of Roy Singham spearheaded the Jews for Zohran Mamdani campaign in order to give the “Israel-bashing candidate” cover from anti-Semitism accusations and win Jewish voters.
Jews for Zohran Mamdani is also working with city comptroller Brad Lander and Rep. Jerry Nadler to persuade more Jews, such as Sen. Chuck Schumer and Rep. Dan Goldman, to back Mamdani for mayor.
“Zohran Mamdani is not just the front-runner, he’s the presumptive winner,” Wheeler says. “He might soon be mayor of the biggest city in the United States, but his rise to prominence was not organic, wasn’t grassroots.”
