💥 Bronx Democratic Clubs speak out: Michael Blake “tried to pit Black and Brown communities against their Jewish neighbors for political gain. That is not leadership, and it is not who we are as Bronx Democrats.” The letter accused Blake of “pour[ing] fuel on the fire” amid

Zohran Mamdani does a complete 180° just a day before meeting with Trump. August 2025: “My administration would be Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.” November 20, 2025: “I intend to make it clear to President Trump that I will work with him on any agenda.”

Media Lies Mamdani’s entire brand is performative authoritarianism—curated rage for the cameras, groveling pragmatism when power’s on the line. He didn’t flip-flop. He revealed the grift. Remember when he refused to condemn “globalize the intifada” but suddenly finds humility for Trump? Or
