Zoharan Mamdani, a candidate of the Samajwadi Mayor of New York City, attempted to remove himself from his previous police rhetoric on Wednesday, in which New York -elected officials and a crime expert told Fox News Digital for lip service.
Mamdani has long criticized the New York Police Department (NYPD), calling for it to define it in 2020. He has often called it “racist” and said that the strategic response group of the department should be dissolved.
In another social media post, Mamdani posted “Nature is Healing” in response to a comment about laughing at a policeman who cried in his car.
However, on Wednesday, in view of the shooting of a Midtown Manhattan, who left the death of a NYPD officer, Mammadani said that his call to define the police was excluded from “disappointment” on George Floid’s death.
His comments left many in the community, stating that he had actually turned the police against the police and with the belief that the worst mass shoots in the half century operated as the city’s reels.

I am explained that Mamdani did not overcome the clarification of his previous statements.
“But even in the sad situations in which the press conference was held, Mammadani apologized for his long and disgusting history of his long and disgusting history to clearly back down on many occasions,” Mangual said, “said,” Mangual said, ” Wrote an article At the press conference of Mamdani on Thursday at New York Post.
“He seemed defensive when he faced his previous statements, and even found a way to repeat the pre-units pre-criticism, which led the response to the collective shooting on Monday evening in Midtown. It has been going to take much more than a small press conference to undo a small press conference to undo the image of Anti-COP decisives.
New York City Republican Council Council Inna Vernikov, a vocal critic of Mamdani, told Fox News Digital that Mamdani’s press conference shows that he does not respect voters “because he thinks that we think we are very foolish to notice this clear flip-flop.”
Vernikov said, “He spent years for cursing NYPD and pushing a radical agenda, and now only he is running at the center because he eventually realized that the city finally supports our police and a socialist mayor does not want,” said Vernikov. “No one with half -brain is buying it.”
New York Republican State Assemblyman Jake Bloomerycranz, an associate of Mamdani, told Fox News Digital that Mamdani’s press conference was “political theater”.
“Let’s not re -write history,” Blumencranz said. “While a police officer and innocent New Yorkers were being murdered in New York City, Zoharan was not even in Mamdani city-he was in a well-protected premises in Uganda. He is now back, supporters are playing police for cameras?”

Bluemencranz stated that Mamdani, who he referred to as “absent colleagues”, has created a campaign “on displaying law enforcement” which has become his “brand”.
BlueMencranz said, “He called NYPD ‘wicked and corrupt and corrupt,’ blame it.” Now, after a primary victory and a large -scale shooting tragedy, he wants voters to be convinced that the voters are guilty/just ‘out of step’? This is not development – this is a political theater. And New Yorker – especially those mourning officers Islam – worthy of honesty, did not prepare opportunism as development. “
