New York Young Republican Club pushing Congress to disqualify Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor
The New York Young Republican Club is pushing to get socialist Zohran Mamdani disqualified from the mayoral election — accusing the Democratic candidate of providing 'aid and comfort' to enemies of the US, The Post has learned. The 15-page NYYRC memo already has two potential supporters in Washington DC, New York Rep. Claudia Tenney and Indiana Rep. Marlin Stutzman, both Republicans, who would have to put the motion up for a vote. 'There is no question that Mamdani thus is affirmatively aiding and comforting known terrorists and enemies in the United States, requiring his disqualification under the Disqualification Clause,' the memo reads. 7 Zohran Mamdani, New York City mayoral candidate, endorsed by Local 802 American Federation of Musicians.

The memo argues there is grounds to use the clause against the lefty mayoral frontrunner — and to pull him from the November general election ballot — due to his alleged support for those organizations and policies. Memo author and recording secretary for the club, Phil J. Leggio, said that it was drafted after Tennessee Rep.

Republicans plead with Trump to deport 'radical' NYC mayor nominee before he destroys the city
New York Young Republican Club and far-right Republicans demand Zohran Mandani's removal from the country after winning the NY mayoral primary The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on President Donald Trump's administration to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him from the country. The 33-year-old, who is likely to be the Democratic nominee for New York City's upcoming mayoral race, declared victory in the primary following former Governor Andrew Cuomo's concession on Tuesday evening. Meanwhile, the New York Young Republican Club issued a "call to action" following the primary results. 'The radical Zohran Mamdani cannot be permitted to destroy our beloved city of New York,' the group stated on X. The primary outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since 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. The group urged the president to invoke the Red Scare-era Communist Control Act to revoke Mamdani's citizenship and 'promptly deport him.' The club requested that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and Trump border czar Tom Homan take action. 'The time for action is now,' the group wrote. 'New York is counting on you.' Following Mamdani's victory, Miller claimed New York City is the "clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration.' He said: 'The entire Democrat party is lining up behind the diehard socialist who wants to end all immigration enforcement and abolish the prison system entirely." Another group, Republicans for Renewal, replied to NYYRC's 'call to action,' stating that 'communist radical Zohran Mamdani should be deported as soon as possible.' The White House characterized Mamdani's surprising victory—potentially making him New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor—as evidence of uncontrolled migration. This stance reflects the White House's broader strategy of prioritizing border policy in national discussions. Mamdani's platform primarily addresses the escalating affordability crisis, proposing initiatives such as universal childcare, free public buses, and a rent freeze in rent-controlled apartments. Trump slammed Mamdani on Truth Social on Wednesday, calling him a 'communist lunatic.' He wrote: 'We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous." In Mamdani's defense, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, who also backed Mamdani, cautioned Republicans against celebrating too early. Some Republicans saw Mamdani's success as a political advantage that could influence upcoming elections in New Jersey, Virginia, and the midterm races next year. "People like Mamdani are their worst nightmares. It's one thing for the Democrats to be strongly against Donald Trump. It is another thing to give working-class people something to vote for — a positive agenda," Sanders said of the GOP. Assuming Mamdani ultimately becomes the Democratic nominee, he would face off in the November election against Mayor Eric Adams, who is currently running as an independent. The race could also include Republican candidate Curtis Sliwa, and possibly Cuomo again, if he decides to run as an independent.

Zohran Mamdani at risk of losing US citizenship? Shocking twist as New York's mayoral race heats up

In a stunning victory, Mamdani defeated former governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary race for New York City mayor.

The White House has framed the upset victory by Mamdani who could become New York City's first Muslim and Indian American mayor, as evidence of uncontrolled migration. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Twoje palce mogą wiele powiedzieć o Twojej osobowości.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff and homeland security adviser, tore into Zohran Mamdani and attributed the expected outcome of the primary to 'unchecked migration.' 'The commentary about NYC Democrats nominating an anarchist-socialist for Mayor omits one point: how unchecked migration fundamentally remade the NYC electorate. Democrats change politics by changing voters. That's how you turn a city that defined US dominance into what it is now,' Miller said in a post on the social platform X early Wednesday. 'To understand the pace and scope of migration to America in past years, one-third of NYC is foreign-born and almost two-thirds of NYC children live in a foreign-born household,' he added in another post. 'NYC is the clearest warning yet of what happens to a society when it fails to control migration,' Miller said in another post, which generated some pushback among more liberal X users.

Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor," Trump said in a post on Truth Social. "We've had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous," Trump wrote. "He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he's not very smart, he's got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin' Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him. Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!" he added. Mamdani was born in Uganda in October 1991. His family moved to New York City when he was 7 years old in 1998. Mamdani was naturalized as a U.S. citizen in 2018.
