NYC mass shooting becomes Mamdani’s first test as mayoral nominee.
NYC mass shooting becomes Mamdani’s first test as mayoral nominee.
How Sway 😭😭😭
So it's a coincidence that you write this story about a Muslim man who's from Africa? How is this article really any different from this? www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
You'd think it would be a test for Adams WHO IS CURRENTLY MAYOR, but hey, any chance to sandbag someone who might be different. Used to be you'd wait until AFTER an election for an attack like this but there's no faith like BAD FAITH.
Unfollowed Tired of these inane "articles" coming out of Politico Why don't you & Fox News just get a room already
Wut? Keep the elected officials accountable. Dunces.
This is one of the most disgusting bits of media I’ve ever consumed. Everyone involved should be ashamed.
"mayoral nominee" so not the mayor?
Big fumble for a dem nominee polling under 40%. Cuomo will win this going away.
Stock trader lol
Fuck you Politico! From 🇨🇦
Y'all advocating for vigilante justice or something? Cause he ain't mayor yet XD y'all are a joke
THE CURRENT MAYOR is currently running for reelection!
Also, the current mayor's pro police policies did not stop this mass shooting.
As if the police stopped the shooting, ended by the shooter turning the gun on himself.
shut the fuck up idiot
He's not the mayor you utter DUMBFUCKS
maybe the current mayor should deal with it? and hey..isnt it a test for the repub candidate as well? and maybe cuomo? nah...lets just use it to blame someone we dont like who has no authority oh hell...why hasnt hillary done anything...
Politico lying by claiming he wants to defund the police. Trash organization.
Politico can eat shit with this tabloid bait.
This story must have been written by an idiot.
Politico really with their finger on the pulse….of a corpse My god this is so embarrassing to call what is essentially a complete straw-man, “journalism” 😂😂😂
Not even in power and laying the blame at his feet 🤦🏻♀️
Y'all are tacky. “NOMINEE”!
I'm anything but a Mamdani or Cuomo fan, but Cuomo was wrong to zing him for this.
Nope. Not even close. You should be talking about failed republican gun policies and the current mayor.
Oh, has Adams stepped down?
He's not the mayor idiot
Mamdani's not the mayor! Go after the actual mayor! WTF is wrong with you people????
What the hell is this? He's not mayor yet. Have you talked to mayor Adams about the shooting?
Bullshit it does
AIPAC will be sacrificing your kids soon and dragging yall straight to hell. That karma shit ain’t no joke especially now that the line keeps getting shorter. 😬
Seriously? Are you out of your mind??? As a nominee, he has no power or authority. FFS blocking you. You’re pathetic and clueless.
But clearly not a test for Eric Adams, who is also running and is THE CURRENT FUCKING MAYOR.
Are you fucking serious? What about the current mayor? Or do you just assume he’s useless, so you’re going after the guy who hasn’t been elected yet and has no power to do anything? Absolute trash. Do better.
No. It's not. He's not the mayor.
How is this a “test” of a mayoral candidate? Gotta get better headline writers guys. Maybe give them a test before giving them a job.
I think you actually have to be mayor, for it to count.
You used to stand for something. But you’re just a propaganda machine now. Stand down.
What the actual fuck. What a stupid article to write.
How about Andrew Cuomo who oversaw thousands of deaths under his watch? He already said he would not “defund” the police. He is not even a mayor right now, and it is not an ongoing crisis like a natural disaster. How much can Mamdani or even Eric Adams do for this shooting?
Yeah he needs to answer for why the current mayor and his opponent let this happen!
Wow you guys are really bad at this whole propaganda thing
This is such a stupid article.
No mention of Adams who is 1) also running and 2) currently in charge of NYC security
Stay trashy politico
He isn’t the mayor, have you asked the sitting mayor?!?
You have got to be kidding me
Is Mamdani in charge? Did he allow the shooter to obtain his weapon in Las Vegas? How about federal weapons regulation and a ban on weapons like this?
Well here’s the thing: Mr. Mandami was already in Uganda when the shootings happened and I’m fairly certain Mr Coumo had a limo and staff to expedite getting in front of the cameras at the scene.
Delete this.
Maybe ask the guy currently holding the job instead of the guy you know what nevermind fuck you
BS! He's not the mayor and they can't use that garbage to try to influence voters.
This article is ridiculous.
I saw this: "NYC mass shooting becomes Mamdani’s first test as mayoral nominee." And I thought it was from @nytpitchbot.bsky.social but, nope, it's @politico.com.
“Test as mayoral nominee” gives only a single search result on google. Politico nor any other media outlet has never phrased it this way for ANY other mayor candidate ever.
Why the fuck is this suddenly about Mamdani? It’s not his fault cops and Eric Adams are fucking useless.
NYC CURRENTLY HAS A MAYOR
Journalistic malpractice to publish this absolute slop. Because Cuomo made a claim that is unfounded? The NYPD hasn't been defunded and this still happened. Meaning your cops don't do shit. Fuck the absolute fuck off with this tired ass garbage.
who is the current mayor, politico?
This wins for the dumbest headline and story concept I’ve seen in quite some time.
Get the fuck out
What is a test as a nominee
Pretty sure he’s “against”
This has got to be one of the dumbest things that Politico has ever written. Unfollowed.
Yall are rats fr 🐀🐀. Where’s this energy for the current baboon sitting in office
Is this now owned by The Onion?!? Enjoy the block.
Did the actual current mayor die or something?
Nobody believes your narrative frames anymore. And this one is particularly bad. Like, wow.
it remains baffling how many people, especially those in government have no clue what "defund the police" actually means
That’s not a thing and never has been
Can someone tell the fucking retard who wrote this crap who the PRESENT MAYOR IS?
Shouldn’t it be a test for the current mayor?
Oh, for Pete's sake. How is this a test of Mamdani? Do better.
Politico… you guys are dumb. In a situation like this one, Mamdani needed to take the back seat and let the current mayor do his job. That’s what Mamdani did. A politician doesn’t have to politicize each and every tragic event.
All the more classy not to do so, frankly.
What about the ex-cop who actually is the mayor or would that conflict with your preconceptions?
Well… the perp came from Nevada (a red state) and brought a weapon that you can’t buy in New York. Sooo… what can he say?
Whoever wrote and clicked publish on this article should perish
How do you figure that? And who else's test might it be?
Is the current mayor MIA?
But let's give Adams a complete pass. American media is a joke.
bsky.app/profile/prem...
So much wrong with the article but for starters he’s not “vacationing in Uganda” he’s getting married there. Which you guys knew.
You know he's not in charge of anything yet, right??? It's funny how Eric Adams is such a worthless failure that the unspoken assumption in this coverage is "The current Mayor can't and won't do shit"
Andrew,, you are showing your stupidity
What are yall even talking about….
Nominees have no power. React with what? Hopes? Prayer? Sternly-worded op-eds or social media posts? Why isn't it a test of current leadership failures?
LOL, what? You know the current mayor is a cop, right? Why isn't it a test for him, you sniveling Nazi ass-licker? wankers...
Isn't the real question how the police that the ex-cop mayor who pumped every available dollar into STILL failed to stop a mass shooting? Mamdani is irrelevant to this discussion. It didn't happen on his watch.
Nah
You guys are pathetic. #Rag
