While leftists claim they care for women and other historically marginalized groups, their policies show otherwise. Latest case: socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani saying domestic violence victims don’t deserve police response.

As reported by Jon Levine at The Washington Free Beacon, Mamdani said during a 2020 podcast that armed police were not the correct response to domestic violence calls. The New York Police Department reportedly responded to these types of calls more than 100,000 times in 2024.

As a domestic abuse survivor (and nearly 10-year resident of New York City who fled in 2020), for me, this is a horrific, chilling sentiment from a supposed public servant.

It’s also a slap in the face to women, who are by far the most common victims of domestic violence, rather than tall, young men like Mamdani, who at 33 years old towers above women in his social media posts.

“There’s a lot of humans who are victims in the city of New York, and they need protection because sometimes it’s a matter of life and death. They’re hiding in the bathroom with their children, and they need someone to come immediately,” Michelle Esquenazi, founder of the New York-based Victims Rights Reform Council, told Fox News Digital. . .

In another classic case of rich celebrities wanting private security, but not public security for impoverished victims, Levine also reported that Mamdani has spent over $33,000 on private security during his campaign.
