US EditionDean Phillips: Mamdani ‘Grave Threat’ to Democrats Around US
NEW YORK CITY, JUL 10 – Zohran Mamdani’s 2020 tweets supported defunding the police and justified Minneapolis riots, sparking debate over his leadership and public safety approach in New York City.
- In summer 2020, Mamdani tweeted support for burning Minneapolis, flipping off Columbus statues, and defunding the NYPD amid protests.
- Following Minneapolis’s 2020 protests, Mamdani justified riots, wrote ‘Black + brown solidarity will overcome white supremacy,’ and called to defund police amid escalating violence.
- Critics say Mamdani’s 2020 tweets show he’s unable to inspire confidence or prioritize public safety, labeling the NYPD racist and a threat to safety.
- In response, Democrats like Dean Phillips warn Mamdani’s candidacy risks a 'grave threat' to 2026 midterm chances, fueling internal party concerns.
- Mamdani's record-breaking NYC primary win and similar policies in Kansas City, Raleigh, and Boston highlight growing support for progressive programs nationwide.
