New York City’s new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, is already letting his far-left base down, and they’re showing up at Gracie Mansion, the official mayoral residence in Carl Schurz Park on the Upper East Side, to make their disdain heard.
Thankfully for many New Yorkers, he just isn’t radical enough.
During a recent incident, centered around his unfulfilled promises relating to investigating the police, protesters surrounded the gate outside his residence at night and began shouting through a megaphone, “We was with you, Zohran! We voted for you, Zohran! We advocated for you, Zohran!” He continued, “You ain’t did nothing but get up in there and lie to us! You lied, Zohran! Shame, Zohran!”
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on Mamdani’s radical anti-police positions before he was elected Mayor in November, including his plan to replace police with social workers in response to certain crimes, which he backtracked on in November.
Now, he’s facing more heat from his liberal base for walking back on his promises to empower and give the final say on police accountability to the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB), an independent agency that investigates police complaints and dishes out recommendations for punishment.
A man with a megaphone was filmed outside Zohran’s house with other protesters, shouting, “The first lie was CCRB, Zohran! CCRB should have the final say, Zohran!”
The others present could be heard shouting “Shame!” repeatedly.

Per the Daily News:
While still a candidate, Mamdani said he would as mayor empower the board — which investigates and prosecutes misconduct complaints against NYPD officers — to get the final say on what sort of disciplinary action should be taken against cops found guilty of wrongdoing. Under the current system, the board offers recommendations to the NYPD commissioner, who then gets to decide what punishment to mete out.
“What I would do is ensure that the recommendations of the CCRB be understood to be the final voice of the question of accountability,” Mamdani said in early October.
But in the wake of announcing Wednesday that NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch will stay in her post under his administration, Mamdani took a step back from that position.
“What I believe is that the CCRB’s recommendations should be taken seriously, that we should ensure they’re able to make those recommendations time and again,” Mamdani said Thursday when asked by the Daily News if he still plans to expand the CCRB’s authority once he’s sworn in as mayor Jan.
