The story on the Democratic nominee for mayor in the upcoming election in New York City, Zohran Mamdani, is getting worse all the time. At The New York Sun, Lawrence Kudlow explains:
You’d think defunding the police and jacking up taxes and doubling the city’s budget is bad enough, but reading his campaign website shows that it gets worse. Way worse.
Let’s start with this: He wants to raise taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” in New York City.
Okay, taxing the rich is a socialist staple. No surprise there. But taxing based on the color of your skin — now that’s a new low for our little radical friend.
It is also racist. And it is also against the law.
The Department of Justice’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, Harmeet Dhillon, has been following this story. Here’s what she said: “Racial discrimination is illegal in the United States – period. Full stop! The illegal discriminatory scheme described by Mamdani would violate federal constitutional and statutory norms, and might even violate New York law.”
So Mr. Mamdani might even get busted for racial discrimination.
A couple of years ago in a state assembly speech he said: “We must dismantle systems of white privilege embedded in our housing and economic policies to achieve true equity.”
What you’ve got here is DEI on steroids — at a time when the whole Biden woke diversity, equity, and inclusion crusade has been rejected by virtually the entire country. It’s an 80-20 issue.
And now, our little Mr. Mamdani is trying to resurrect it here in the Big Apple. And, as I have often argued, the DEI craze was the progenitor of antisemitism.
