The Supposed Great Victory of Zohran Mamdani Stinks to High Heaven – RedState

I didn’t expect to write this column. Zohran Mamdani is a reprehensible mayor-elect, a true communist, a radical Muslim, and a nepo baby, but everyone on this site already knows that, so I’m basically flogging a dead horse by devoting yet another column to his campaign on Red State.

But it turned out that I still needed to write another column. Indeed, – every week it seems – we learn new, more shocking information that shows that the central narrative of the so-called great victory of the Mamdani mandate for leftism is a complete and utter fraud.

And this is a crucial point, which must be expressed and emphasized to the public.

Certainly, part of Mamdani’s victory is unfortunately all too real, as it comes directly from our deviant educational establishment on America’s college campuses and in primary and secondary schools. Since the 1970s, DEI-loving left-wing professors and teachers in the United States have produced class after class of poorly educated, even idiotic, “educated graduates” who love communism/socialism/leftism, hate white people, hate men, hate the United States, believe men can be women, and think Jews are the central evil in the world. Most of these new voters are Democrats, but a significant number are also Republicans.

This is a well-known fact, and the Trump administration should (and is) trying to do something about it.

But despite this real component, the Mamdani 2025 “Great Victory” increasingly looks like a fraudulent victory culminating a campaign and its associates who, over the years, have carried out multiple (alleged) illegalities and “dirty pool” activities (activities that cheated the system but did not result in actual illegalities). So, let me count the ways in which Mamdani and his allies appear to have manipulated or even broken the system:

• The most explosive and serious accusation remains that the Mamdani campaign benefited from tens of millions of dollars in donations – up to $40 million – that were (allegedly) funneled through charities linked to George Soros as part of an elaborate scheme that may have violated federal tax laws.
• Related to this, other left-wing sources have provided additional (allegedly) illegal/suspicious funding for the Mamdani campaign, or against Andrew Cuomo’s campaign. These sources apparently came from many famous people, including ice cream enthusiast Ben Cohen, actress and Code Pink enthusiast Susan Sarandon, and even family director Steven Spielberg.
• Mamdani’s 2025 victory came after his allies in the Democratic Socialists of America, the Working Families Party and left-wing foundations worked for years to change municipal voting laws, providing a powerful boost to his candidacy.
  1. Leftists successfully promoted ranked-choice voting (RCV) for the Democratic primary, which voters approved in 2019 after a campaign in which there was almost no organized opposition, but where supporters, like a Soros spawn, spent more than $2 million. In the primary, the RCV allowed leftists to support each other without hard feelings, giving them a major advantage in the election itself.
  2. But the leftists did not push the RCV in the legislative elections because they knew it would hurt the leftists in the general elections. Josh Kraushaar, editor-in-chief of Jewish Insider, said before the election: “If New York City used a ranked-choice voting system like it did in the primaries, this race would be neck and neck. »
  3. Leftists have consistently supported and worked to increase funding for the city’s lavish public matching funds system, which is managed by the Campaign Finance Board (CFB). The program originally featured a 1-to-1 ratio of public to private money, but it grew steadily, and in 2018, then-Mayor Bill de Blasio, later a major Mamdani backer, increased it to an 8-to-1 ratio on the first $250 in contributions from city residents. Mamdani ended up receiving $12.7 million in matching public funds, the majority of his total budget.
  4. In 2006, a New York state court ruling struck down a law prohibiting parties from spending money on other parties’ primaries: This allowed the Working Families Party to fund, organize, and recruit candidates and thus often choose the winners of Democratic primaries. In 2025, this party has worked hard to strengthen Mamdani and undermine Cuomo.
• The CFB ruled that outgoing Democratic Mayor Eric Adams was ineligible for public funding, alluding to federal allegations that have since been withdrawn. “The CFB’s action was election interference — the old ‘guilty until proven innocent’ trick.” Not only did this cut off Mayor Adams’ money spigot, but this action also devastated his standing in the polls and turned him into a non-entity in the 2025 campaign.
• Meanwhile, the CFB turned a blind eye to Mamdani’s abuses which “violated the spirit, and perhaps the letter, of the system of public financing of electoral campaigns.” For example, on May 18, Mamdani urged his supporters to donate to the campaign of former City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams. Some 370 of her supporters then donated to Adams, making her eligible for nearly $15,000 in public funding. This is taxpayer money going to a candidate who did not have the popular support necessary to qualify.
• Over the years, the Obama and Biden administrations brought an unprecedented wave of immigrants – legal and illegal – from sometimes hostile and socialist countries to the United States and New York City, energizing the Mamdani campaign. Leftists frequently claim that the “voter replacement theory” is nothing more than a conspiracy. Except that’s clearly not the case, as the 2025 elections in New York show.

The election of Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York in 2025 is being touted by mainstream media and other Democrats as a major event of great electoral significance in the United States. But they certainly don’t show the same interest in the Mamdani campaign irregularities involved in manufacturing this victory, which make the final results stink to high heaven.

Perhaps the American judicial authorities should be more interested?
