Zohran Mamdani Discovers Money Doesn’t Grow on Trees – Twitchy

Mamdani promised free buses and that statewide taxes would pay for it. Then, the Governor of New York said she wouldn’t raise statewide taxes. So, a reporter asked Mamdani what the plan was now and welp, he said it’s still going to happen, but he’s not sure of the plan. Speaking just like a dude who has never had a real job. 

Q: “How are you getting the $700M to make the buses free if the Governor is not for raising taxes?”

MAMDANI: “Through the raising of the state’s corporate tax.”

Q: “But she said no…”

MAMDANI: “The most important fact is that we fund it, not the question of how we do it.” pic.twitter.com/rFiaHPAdSE

He grew up as a nepo baby with Mommy and Daddy supporting him. Of course he has no real idea how money works.

The Leftist ‘mind’ is a bit of an oxymoron. 

I honestly can’t believe people were stupid enough to be fooled by this charlatan. 🤦🏻‍♂️ https://t.co/ZD7cBBF4lG pic.twitter.com/rjJo9nUDEK

‘When you promise lots of free stuff…then wake up post-election & discover it’s not actually free…’cos you know, capitalism…and the governor laughs at yr totally awesome pitch that free $700M buses will reduce fare-dodger attacks on bus drivers!?!’ https://t.co/0ODLcaE2dp

Mamdani hasn’t even started yet, but it’s already looking embarrassing. https://t.co/TEAdlbICyT

It’s all downhill from here. 

The ppl of NY who voted for this con man are stupid. I just can’t see it any other way. https://t.co/LQKkpNDxpB

Clearly, they are very easily fooled. 

His only real job was working as a “foreclosure prevention housing counselor” and now he’s going to run one of the biggest economies in the world.

Helping people avoid paying their bills was his only job. Sounds about right.
