| Description | A top New York City Republican wants socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani deported.
Councilwoman Vickie Paladino, also the GOP minority whip, did not offer any specific grounds to do so initially, other than that Mamdani had been a U.S. citizen for less than 10 years. Her office later said Mamdani is "clearly not eligible" for deportation but "likely would have been removed" if he hadn't been a citizen due to his alleged past ties to antisemitic organizations.
The statement came after Paladino's social media post caused a considerable uproar.
"Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years — much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport," she said on Wednesday night in response to a 2019 post from him expressing his support for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT). |
