'COMRADE MAMDANI': Mike Johnson Unloads on Radical Big Apple Mayoral Candidate, 'Democrats Have Learned Nothing': Report

The Speaker weighs in.

House Speaker Mike Johnson blasted far-left socialist NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Monday in an exclusive statement to The Daily Caller.

Johnson says Democrats have learned nothing from the 2024 election.

Johnson says that Mamdani’s agenda is “extreme” and “bad news for New York City.” The Speaker added that Mamdani’s political rise spells “great news for House Republicans” in the upcoming midterm elections.

“Democrats, who have learned nothing from their historic defeat in 2024, are rallying around a radical, Antisemitic, abolish-ICE [U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement], defund-the-police, big-government Marxist,” Johnson told the DCNF. “Comrade Mamdani’s extreme views are bad news for New York City, but great news for House Republicans.”

“Come the 2026 midterms, voters will be reminded that while the Democrat Party falls further hostage to the radical Left, Republicans are delivering a common sense, America First agenda,” the speaker added.

Mamdani is the latest example of the left’s identity crisis in the wake of Kamala Harris’ landslide loss to President Trump in November.

From The Daily Caller:

Mamdani has drawn criticism for repeatedly making anti-Israel statements, such as calling for people to boycott Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island because of its ties to an Israel-based school, as the New York Post first reported. The New York state assemblyman has also previously failed to directly condemn the use of the controversial slogan “globalize the intifada,” which is widely regarded to be an antisemitic call to violence.

In May, Mamdani declined to back a New York State Assembly resolution to recognize Israel’s 77th anniversary, just months after he declined to sign a different resolution to condemn the Holocaust. Some Jewish Democrats in Congress have notably expressed concern over Mamdani’s shocking win in New York City’s Democratic mayoral primary, The Hill reported on July 9.

Additionally, Mamdani has promoted a far-left policy agenda, and has touted plans to implement several taxpayer-funded “free” initiatives such as “free” buses, “free” childcare and city-owned grocery stores — if he is elected New York City mayor. The Democratic state lawmaker has previously called for reducing the role of police in New York City, and has also referred to ICE as a “rogue agency.”
