The MAGA bunch is attacking the winning NYC Democratic candidate for mayor, Zohran Mamdani, as a dangerous commie and some such. They are very concerned about our elections.
More concerning are official attacks. Election interference is Trump's m.o. He was (rightly) prosecuted for it in New York City.
Trump then corruptly interfered in an ongoing prosecution of Mayor Eric Adams. Started a criminal investigation, against traditional policy, of another candidate (Andrew Cuomo). Now, he is targeting another Democratic candidate. Consistency.
President Donald Trump’s Homeland Security Advisory Council — a group that includes Rudy Giuliani, cop-turned-actor Bo Dietl and the founder of Bikers for Trump — held its first meeting on Wednesday to discuss the top threats facing the nation.
Trump has flagged him as dangerous and potentially a criminal. He has left open the possibility that Mamdani's naturalized citizenship can be revoked. He is accusing the leading candidate of a major city of being illegitimate.
The Homeland Security Advisory Council is not typically so heavy on politics. It was created in 2003 in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks and, as stated in the Federal Register, is meant to provide “nonpartisan and organizationally independent strategic advice to the Secretary of Homeland Security on critical matters related to Homeland Security.”
The article, however, shows how a recent meeting was quite political. The discussion included endorsements (Sliwa) and semi-endorsements (Adams), and attacks on Cuomo and Mamdani.
Giuliani (disbarred and found liable for defamation and still part of a pending prosecution in Georgia) being part of anything in this context is outrageous. But so it goes.
I apologize for including this photo without a trigger warning, but it does underline where we are today. New York City residents, especially, need to be on guard that our right to govern ourselves will be challenged by a constitutionally unfit convicted felon.
