The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.
On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.
Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
I wish the ironic gift of Trump’s grandfather’s German birth certificate hadn’t gone straight over the heads.
Trumpf*
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
They just take issue with brown people immigrating here.
I wish I had artistic talent. I would love to make a political cartoon of the Statue of Liberty holding a sing saying “You must be this color or lighter to enter” with a color chart X’ing out the brown and black colors leaving only white ones. With a caption stating this is the current republican immigration policy.
And to answer the inevitable: No, I refuse to use “AI”.
Reminiscent of the Family Guy Skin Color Chart
Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.
Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.
Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.
You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.
lol, they are losing it
angry ceo threatens to close grocery chain… well, that will show them 😂
If he closes wouldn’t he be out of a job? Lol
No, because Kroger is a major national chain that doesn’t need to operate in NYC to be profitable. It’s like a petulant child throwing some of his toys away because he has to share them.
Watch that be something super small time as well, like a guy who owns three convenience stores within about a mile of each other.
Those Jims are about to get Slimmer.
and with an attitude like that it’s probably super shit for consumers… go ahead: close so someone better can start up
I got curious and looked it up. It’s called Gristedes. Nobody outside Manhattan will ever have been in one, because they’re all there within a few miles of Central Park.
I don’t know why he’d close them, because I can’t understand how the conservative brain works.
main character syndrome?
It’s not just Fox News. Bezo’s Washington Post ran an editorial, written by “the editorial board,” about how Mamdani would be “bad for New York and bad for the Democratic Party,” claiming he would destroy public transit, reduce the number of grocery stores, drive away big businesses, depress low-skill employment, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and of course that this would discredit all the other young candidates across the country. The WaPo’s threat earlier this year to make their editorial page aggressively pro-capitalist and anti-public-good was apparently very much in earnest.
they’re afraid.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
I don’t know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.
And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.
A major issue that seems to be taking a back seat to racism (lets face it at this point you may as well just assume its there) is the overt posturing about taking control of the largest city in the us directly counter to the populations interest.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
This isn’t correct at all, but also Dems in NYC represent the rich and the slumlords, not the people that Zohran represents. Make no mistake there are tons of stories about dems melting down about Zohran as well, and senior Dem leaders in NYC like the Governor, don’t support Zohran either.
That’s what worries me a lot about Cuomo potentially running as an independent: the “safe seat” phenomenon might have him bolder about fracturing the vote.
truth
Hope they are using the word “socialist” more, so people can be informed of what socialism is and on his program.
The fact that a party so blatantly unconstitutional (and criminal) can get so much support in this country is not a good sign for the future of this nation. I wouldn’t invest any hope in things getting better anytime soon. And I mean even when Trump is gone.
Dark future.
Until a revolution-violent, if necessary- against their media sphere happens you can expect more decline.
All of this is proof that capitalism is an evil economic model, inevitably geared towards death, slavery, and oppression.
They would rather everything, everyone die before giving a single stolen penny back to the people, even if that means they also die
The only hope is when things take a turn, they take a turn in our favor. And I don’t hold much hope for that, we’ve been at war and the rest of the country is pretending there isn’t one
On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: “Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport.”
Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: “Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.”
Great clapback.
Great clapback if they actually cared about the constitution but they dont. They’re arguing in bad faith and nothing he says matters.
The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.
They haven’t done a good job of hiding who they are since before the 101st Airborne had to escort the Little Rock Nine to school.
I mean that was on the orders of a Republican president and Governor Faubus was a Democrat. You’re still not wrong but it was the style of the time in general and simply a bad example to focus on over the post-Southern Strategy landscape.
Become? This is who and what the cons and the Republicans are.
Don’t let anyone fool you with that “true conservative” bullshit.
It is hard to understand this as I grew up around a lot of conservatives who actually had values and decency.
If you told me even ten years ago that Republicans would be calling for US citizens to be deported I would have said you were crazy, but here we are.
I could have told you decades prior to that. I grew up in an area that was deeply, deeply red.
Sure, maybe not every conservative/Republican is overly weird about things like race, religion, and the “blood and soil” stuff…but far, far too many are.
They really are afraid. Very good.
As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.
Citizenship doesn’t exist under a tyranny. There’s only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller
Basically PUBG, but with more guns
Citizenship does exist under tyranny, but instead of having rights, you get duties.
At this point I think GOP is simply a fascist party, which has been hiding behind false patriotism.
They are simply atrociously and with no sense of humanity or ridiculousness. Just pure hatred personified into a shell of human beings.
If I were to be religious I would think that Trump is the anti-Christ and his followers are simply demons.
Why did it take so long to come to that conclusion? That’s been the case for years. My mom, who is religious and fortunately not part of the MAGA cult, has repeatedly told me that she wouldn’t be surprised if he is.
1-the GOP IS a Nazi party 2- trump IS an antichrist, and the thing about antichrists is that they are invisible to christians. 3- his followers are actual satanic pedophiles, which is why they accuse everyone else of being satanic pedophiles.
Wow republicans are all scared little pussies aren’t they?
I’m calling on the federal government to strip the citizenship of every member and associate of the New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) because they are a threat to the USA.
ICE needs to step in and quickly deport them before their case can be heard in court.
Now that the Supreme court has approved of deportations to third countries, this is actually feasible. Maybe Uganda would like to welcome them. Or perhaps Libya.
What has Uganda done to deserve such mistreatment?
They already made a similar deal with the UK to recieve asylum seekers. I’m guessing for quite a bit of money/support. So yeah, Uganda signed on for this. Not the Ugandan people off course, but Museveni is quite a POS. Also, I kind of enjoy the idea of the right wing losers in the NYYRC finding themselves as a refugee minority in a majority black country.
Why do they hate democracy so much?
Because they can’t win if they keep it.
I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.
Bill Clinton stepped in at the last minute to endorse the Dem incumbent, yeah the establishment (which is 95% of the Democratic party) won’t be thrilled.
Clinton didn’t endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York’s former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.
Wait, who is doing this?
None that I have been able to find; probably just hearsay, or a misrepresentation of what a pundit said on cable news somewhere.
I wouldn’t be surpised if the DNC was actively looking at various rules to get rid of Zohran.
Well, most people require evidence for such bold claims.
[Gestures wildly at David Hogg]
Your lack of surprise is all the proof I needed.
In 1954, President Dwight Eisenhower signed the Communist Control Act into law. In theory, this outlawed the Communist Party of the United States and banned communists from serving in certain roles.
WTF
[It passed because] many opposed communism because of its explicitly declared and historically demonstrable goal to undermine liberal democracy. In the words of Ernest van den Haag, there was “no place in democracy for those who want to abolish [it] even with a peaceful vote”.

The irony of using it here would be palpable
The freedest country on earth.
All citizens are free. It’s just some are free-er then others.
That’s fascism
