Winning Mamdani-backed candidate is 'legitimately nuts': 'Apparently, all white women are ugly'



Democratic socialist New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is quickly emerging as a major force in New York politics after going three-for-three in recent primary races with those three candidates taking out Democrat-establishment incumbents.

“We had a clean sweep for Mamdani, three candidates he endorsed in New York in the primaries,” BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere explains on "Stu and Dave Do America."

“These are taking out incumbents in big races, and Zohran Mamdani takes three crazy socialists and goes three for three,” he adds.

Those three candidates are Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, and Brad Lander.

However, these wins don’t come without risk — especially considering one of them seems to be "legitimately nuts."


“This is a risk for Mamdani in that, like, when you’re coming up, you’re rising in Democratic politics, you can either be the one who plays the game and goes along with everybody who’s got the job already and played this long game, or you can do what Mamdani did here,” Stu says, pointing out that politicians like AOC have tried this in the past.

“You go as far as you can and hope it works out. And so far for Mamdani, I don’t know if this is part of a Knicks hangover or what, but they love this guy,” he continues.

One of the Mamdani-endorsed winning candidates is Avila Chevalier, who is, like Mamdani, a democratic socialist.

“She’s legitimately nuts. She stormed out of a live interview when she was confronted with her old social media posts, which is I guess not a huge surprise considering what her old social media posts were,” Stu explains.

“I forgot to get napkins, so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me,” Avila Chevalier wrote in a now-deleted post on X in 2019.

“These are the people that they’re handpicking for these Democratic jobs,” Stu comments.

In another now-deleted post, she wrote that “black men” and “Arab men” both fetishize “ugly colonizer women.”

“Apparently, white women are all ugly,” Stu says.

“That reads a little jealous,” Dave adds.

Democrat Slaps Phone From Tracker’s Hand When Asked About Party’s Scandal-Ridden Nominee

'I'll take [MAGA] on anywhere, anytime, and I won't back down'

Meet the Democrat senator whose donors have been bankrolling his 'luxury lifestyle'



Democrat Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) has made the rising cost of living a centerpiece of his political identity.

"The average Super Bowl ticket now costs $6,773. That's not just a game — it's a luxury bill," he wrote on X in February. "For too many working Americans, seeing the biggest sporting event in person would take ... months of rent just to afford one ticket."

'He's using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle.'

Federal campaign finance records reviewed by Politico show donor money has been footing the bill for his travel.

Gallego, who has campaigned as a working-class fighter from Phoenix, has spent liberally across two donor-funded accounts — on luxury resorts, private jet flights, family trips to Disney parks, and repeated personal reimbursements.

Twenty days after launching his Senate campaign, Gallego and then-Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) used their joint fundraising committee, Swallego Victory Fund, to attend and host a Super Bowl LVII fundraiser in Glendale, Arizona, Politico reported. Filings show the committee spent $34,700 on "event tickets" and $2,700 at the Henry, a Phoenix restaurant.

The fund raised $56,505 total and dissolved Jan. 1, 2025.

Swalwell later resigned amid sexual assault and harassment allegations from multiple women, which he called "false." Gallego said he did not know about Swalwell's alleged behavior, but the joint committee leaves their finances and names linked in the public record.

Records show Gallego has tapped his leadership PAC and main campaign committee for more than $18,000 in child care reimbursements since 2019 — including $400 to an individual Politico identified as his wife's mother for babysitting — with his wife, three kids, and au pair joining him on the road at donors' expense.

"He just spends his campaign account like it's his personal slush fund," a person granted anonymity told Politico. "He's using campaign cash to live a luxury lifestyle."

Gallego pushed back. "This is not breaking news," he told Politico.

"Democrats and Republicans in Congress and the White House alike regularly travel with their wives and children, as is permitted by the FEC." Leadership PACs have broad latitude under FEC rules as long as spending has some fundraising function.

Gallego's JUNTOS PAC records reviewed by Blaze News reveal additional spending: nine payments totaling $115,000 to Wheels Up, a private jet membership company, listed as "fundraising consulting services"; more than $60,000 at the Phoenician, a luxury Scottsdale resort; three payments totaling roughly $10,200 to the Dorado Beach Ritz-Carlton in Puerto Rico; and a single staffer who received more than $54,000 in reimbursements, including a $43,847 payment for "travel and catering."

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) asked Senate leadership in April to investigate Gallego over allegations "sexual in nature" and potential campaign finance violations. His office called them "right-wing conspiracy theories." Senate Majority Leader John Thune confirmed that the matter was referred to the Senate Ethics Committee.

Gallego has since established a legal defense fund in May.

"He is one of the most vetted candidates after his tough 2024 campaign," said Jacques Petit, a spokesperson for Gallego.

The drip of revelations arrives at a delicate moment. Gallego is among Democrats eyeing a potential 2028 presidential bid, alongside Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Sen. Gallego did not respond to a request for comment from Blaze News.

Democrat Texas Senate Nominee Talarico Says He ‘Hates Christianity’ In Old Interview With Transgender Theologian

Critics blast Chicago mayor for pushing 'transfemicide' 'gibberish' amid deadly shootings



Chicago was rocked in 2024 by 575 murders.

Days before resetting the murder count and ushering in a bloody new year, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson declared an emergency on Dec. 23, 2024 — not to tackle the general bloodletting in his city but to address, specifically, violence against transvestites.

'Happy Pride.'

Between 2016 and July 2024, fewer than 15 "trans" and "gender-nonconforming" individuals had reportedly been killed in the city. Between 2010 and 2021, roughly 300 transvestites had been killed nationwide — in a country of well over 340 million people.

Critics have blasted Johnson for "building on" his 2024 emergency declaration and blathering again about so-called "transfemicide" — this time on the eve of Chicago's bloodiest day in years.

Last week, Johnson announced that further to his declaration, he was advancing a "whole-of-government approach focused on addressing the conditions that impact the health, stability, and well-being of trans Chicagoans, particularly Black and Brown trans women and trans youth, who continue to experience disproportionately high rates of exclusion and economic hardship."

"Every Chicagoan deserves to feel safe, valued, and like they belong in the city they call home," stated Johnson.

The mayor continuing yammering on Saturday night about the perceived need for cross-dressers to have access to "safe and welcoming" spaces.

"Since declaring a Transfemicide State of Emergency, our administration has strengthened the City’s capacity to support LGBTQ+ Chicagoans," said Johnson.

Brandon's "transfemicide" remarks over the weekend came across as especially myopic given that the city was provided with yet another reminder that it isn't safe for straight people either.

At least 43 people were shot or killed citywide over the weekend, a 105% increase from the same weekend last year, reported CWB Chicago. Twenty-seven people were shot on Friday alone, reportedly making it the highest one-day shooting victim count since July 5, 2024.

On Friday night, a pair of thugs driving in a red SUV pulled up alongside a crowd of people, then began shooting. Fourteen victims — ages ranging from 17 to 47 — suffered gunshot wounds.

According to police, eight people were ultimately killed in the shootings over the weekend, including a 14-year-old boy who was shot multiple times.

Although Johnson condemned the violence, he did not declare an emergency.

Multitudes of critics have lambasted Johnson over his niche concern-mongering and its timing.

"Brandon Johnson declared a state of emergency for trans people. Guess how many trans people were kiIIed in Chicago in the past year? One. He was kiIIed by his boyfriend. It had nothing to do with his trans identity," wrote Libs of TikTok. "Meanwhile every single weekend there are dozens of shooting[s] and multiple fatalities. Every. Single. Weekend. Why doesn’t Brandon Johnson declare a state of emergency for the actual violence in his city?"

The New York Post confirmed that only one trans-identifying man was murdered so far this year in Chicago, 31-year-old Davonta Curtis.

Conservative commentator Matt Walsh said that Johnson's "transfemicide" emergency declaration was "beyond parody. And delusional."

"The trans murder rate is actually LOWER than the general population," continued Walsh. "And basically every trans murder victim is killed because of domestic issues, drugs, or prostitution. 'Anti-trans hate crimes' are a fantasy."

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-Texas) noted that no one knows what a "transfemicide state of emergency" is but for the fact that it's a preoccupation of Johnson.

The X account for the Chicago Young Republicans wrote, "All Chicagoans, including biological women and girls, are entitled to a sense of safety in their city. Your administration has made this city a dangerous place for them to live, walk their dog, and even just ride public transit to work because you refuse to hold dangerous criminals accountable."

"But really glad [we're] spending time and resources on this fake issue because people with a mental disorder and a fetish wanna play pretend," added the Young Republicans group.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon insinuated that Johnson's messaging signaling special attention to cross-dressers might not just be ridiculous but unlawful too.

"Reminder that ALL Chicagoans are entitled to the equal protection of the laws. If Chicago uses this inchoate gibberish theory to preference government spoils to trans identifying people or subordinate women’s rights, @CivilRights will investigate & take action, if appropriate," wrote Dhillon.

Johnson responded to Dhillon by reaffirming his support for the non-straight community and wishing them "Happy Pride."

'Game the system': Ilhan Omar's alleged net worth plummets amid intense scrutiny over her finances



Rep. Ilhan Omar, a radical Minnesota Democrat who has in recent years been accused of immigration-related fraud, is facing renewed scrutiny over her finances in the wake of a new filing claiming that she and her current husband, former Democratic consultant Tim Mynett, might have a negative net worth.

Republicans remain dissatisfied with the explanation provided by Omar's office — that the dramatic fluctuations in the congresswoman's alleged net worth is the result of an "accounting error" that has since been rectified.

'Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar.'

Riches

The Somalia-born ethno-nationalist raised eyebrows last year with a financial disclosure report claiming that in 2024 — the same year that the U.S. attorney's office in Washington, D.C., and the DOJ's public integrity unit reportedly launched an investigation into the congresswoman's finances — she and her husband held assets of between $6 million and $30 million.

The couple's sudden fortune was linked in the filing to Mynett's venture-capital management firm, Rose Lake Capital LLC, as well as to his now-defunct winery, eStCru LLC.

In addition to contradicting Omar's previous assertion that she was "not a millionaire," the May 2025 filing prompted House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (Ky.) and other Republicans to question "how her husband accumulated so much wealth over the past two years."

After all, she reported assets valued at no more than $208,000 in 2023, and a year earlier, Rose Lake Capital reportedly had only $42.44 in its bank account.

"There is no way such wealth could have been accumulated, legally, while being paid the salary of a politician," President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Jan. 22.

The congresswoman subsequently filed an amended disclosure for 2024 claiming that the value of the assets she and her husband held was between $18,004 and $95,000. The Wall Street Journal highlighted that in the amended disclosure filed on March 26, Mynett's businesses were shown as having no value once liabilities were factored in.

"The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire," Jacklyn Rogers, a spokeswoman for Omar, stated at the time. "The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified."

Rags

Days before Vice President JD Vance claimed last month that Omar was under investigation by the Justice Department, the foreign-born congresswoman filed her financial disclosure for fiscal year 2025.

According to the new filing first detailed by the New York Post, Mynett made no income last year from Rose Lake Capital.

The only money Mynett allegedly earned last year was $201 to $1,000 from eStCru, which filed for termination in April — roughly one week after Omar filed her amended financial disclosure stating the winery was effectively worthless.

Omar claimed that the total value of her and her husband's assets last year was somewhere in the range of $20,000 to $125,000 and that their liabilities — student loans and credit card debt — were between $30,000 and $100,000. On the basis of Omar's financial allegations, her net worth is between -$80,000 and $95,000.

A spokesperson for Omar told Blaze News in a statement, "The amended disclosure confirms what we've said all along: The congresswoman is not a millionaire."

"The original filing was based on incomplete information from Mr. Mynett's businesses' accountants in good faith and deference to professional judgment. It listed assets without liabilities, and it significantly overstated her husband’s net worth," the spokesperson continued. "The accounting error created a misleading picture of far greater wealth. The congresswoman amended her disclosures voluntarily as soon as the discrepancy was identified. The amended disclosure is now complete and accurate."

Delanie Bomar, spokeswoman for the Republican National Committee, told the Post, "Voters see right through the corrupt lies of Ilhan Omar."

"Omar has spent her entire career covering up Democrat-enabled fraud that cost taxpayers billions, so it's no surprise that she would do the same for her husband," Bomar continued.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) stated, "Ilhan Omar and her husband need to be held accountable for their sketchy financial disclosures. They're clearly lying and trying to game the system."
