טאקער קארלסאן רעדט שיין פון זאהארן מאמדאני!
Political commentator Tucker Carlson’s recent remarks on New York Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani have ignited sharp backlash, with critics warning that his so-called “praise” masks deep concerns about Mamdani’s policy goals.
Carlson appeared to commend Mamdani’s “local focus” and “New York-centric” campaign — but detractors likened the compliment to an arsonist admiring a Molotov cocktail’s design. They argue Mamdani’s platform, which includes sweeping rent freezes, a $30 minimum wage, and city-operated grocery stores, could devastate landlords, small businesses, and the city’s economic stability.
The commentary has drawn comparisons between political extremes, with Carlson’s critics claiming that both “MAGA hardliners and socialist radicals” exploit systemic breakdowns for political gain. Supporters of other New York leaders, including Mayor Eric Adams, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, reform advocate Walden, and Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, point to their tangible record on public safety, pandemic response, and anti-corruption efforts as a contrast to Mamdani’s proposals.
Opponents warn that Mamdani’s ideas risk turning New York City into a test case for failed economic experiments from Caracas to Cairo, while Carlson’s approval is seen by some as misplaced applause for a dangerous political gamble.
