I’m asking all my subscribers, If they’re sitting down, to please stand up. Now, put your hands together and give a huge round of applause to the Republican candidate for mayor of New York City.
Why?
Because, Mr. Sliwa, you are about to change the course of NYC history.
Yes, you Curtis. The very same guy who wears that red beret and rides the subways. The guy who once had 17 rescue cats in his studio apartment.
Yes you, Curtis “freakin’” Sliwa.
By not dropping out of the mayor’s race, you have set up the likely scenario of Democrat-Socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani becoming the next resident of Gracie Mansion.
Zohran Mamdani, 34 years old, will be in charge of a government of 330-thousand employees. Mandani, who has never managed anything, will be overseeing the almost $12 billion city budget. Mamdani, who has promised free childcare for all, free buses for all, wants to do it on the backs of the people who can easily take their millions elsewhere. Mamdani, who has promised a zero increase in rents for the one million rent stabilized apartments, will make small landlords suffer the consequences. Mamdani, who is a member in good standing of the Democratic Socialists of America is poised to lead the city that lives and breathes capitalism. Mamdani, who has called the NYPD a bunch of racists and whose father, a Columbia University professor, says Lincoln and the United States of America taught Hitler and Nazi Germany all about genocide. Mamdani, at the head of the city with the nation’s largest Jewish population, has openly hated Israel for years, and refuses to support its existence as a Jewish state.
Yes, the latest polls show that Zohran Mamdani will slide into City Hall with a plurality, not a majority because you, Curtis Sliwa, soaked up the votes Andrew Cuomo needed to at least have a shot at becoming mayor in a head-to-head showdown.
Thank you Curtis, because you will have made history by being stubborn and selfish.
Not only do we owe you an attaboy Curtis, so does Zohran.
He will be able to use his city hall bully pulpit and his prodigious fund-raising machine to push for more socialist officeholders.
He will be able to leverage his powerful public office, in the media capital of the nation, to spout his socialism from sea to shining sea.
He will likely get a coveted speaking spot at the next Democratic National Convention.
Mazel tov Curtis, because you have caused the city you profess to love, to fall under the rule of an inexperienced, two-term New York State Assemblyman.
And God forbid we suffer another attack like we did on 9/11/01 because Mamdani’s takeaway from that awful day and its three thousand fatalities, is some cock and bull story about his aunt or cousin or someone in his family, who feared she couldn’t ride the subways looking like a Muslim in her hijab.
Kudos to you, Curtis, because soon Mamdani will be able to act on his far-left ideology that preaches all Muslims, actually all “brown people” as he has said, are victims, whether they live in the five boroughs or in Tel Aviv.
That’s who we’re on the verge of getting as mayor, thanks to you, Curtis “freakin’” Sliwa.
It’s rare that anyone, in their entire lifetime, can make an historic choice like the one you have made for the people of the City of New York.
So Sliwa, with your permission, I’m going to ask my subscribers to sit down now, and Curtis if you will, please stand up and take your bow. You’ve certainly earned it.
Sincerely,
Your Friend Without Benefits
