The New York Young Republican Club (NYYRC) has called on the federal government to strip Zohran Mamdani of his citizenship and deport him.
On Tuesday evening, Mamdani, a 33-year-old self-described democratic socialist, declared victory over Andrew Cuomo, former governor of the state of New York, in the Democratic primary for the 2025 New York mayoral election.
The outcome, one of the first major Democratic primaries since Donald Trump returned to office, is being considered as a barometer for the party’s potential recalibration nationally, at a time when it remains ideologically divided about its future.
On June 2, New York City Council Member Vickie Paladino, a Republican, wrote: “Let’s just talk about how insane it is to elect someone to any major office who hasn’t even been a US citizen for ten years—much less a radical leftist who actually hates everything about the country and is here specifically to undermine everything we’ve ever been about. Deport.”
Mamdani hit back at Paladino on X, saying: “Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.”
Great clapback.
Reminds me of this time last year when Trump was on trial for a half dozen things.
Everyone was all like “ooh it would be so undemocratic to try someone while they’re campaigning”.
Meanwhile republicans can just uncitizen anyone they don’t like.
You can’t win if no one is playing by the rules.
This is the battle that determines our future. If we lose this, it’s war, or submission for years or decades, and then war.
Remember when they all claimed they had no problem with LEGAL immigration?
Well yeah, they had a problem with any kind that makes them lose.
I wish the ironic gift of Trump’s grandfather’s German birth certificate hadn’t gone straight over the heads.
Trumpf*
That’s fascism
The mask is off! Strip them of their citizenship and deport them to a third world prison? What a fucked up party they have become.
They haven’t done a good job of hiding who they are since before the 101st Airborne had to escort the Little Rock Nine to school.
128 Democrats were told by their handlers to let trump do yoohoo’s dirty work.
Why do they hate democracy do much?
Because they can’t win if they keep it.
This is more or less unrelated but nonetheless very important:
Should we tell him that his makeup was swapped for a bucket of shit? I’m not sure he’s able to smell it but we can certainly see it.
apparently the smell is something else. some next level shit, if by next level we mean ‘in his pants’

So fucking sick of the peter pan party
lol, they are losing it
they’re afraid.
It’s extra dumb because it’s NYC - no Republican was ever gonna be mayor. They’re just all being super racist.
I don’t know why you think that. Giuliani and Bloomberg were both Republicans. Republicans have run New York for more than half of the last 30 years.
And even when we get Democrats, we end up with conservative Dems like Eric Adams out here promising to lock people up.
truth
It’s not just Fox News. Bezo’s Washington Post ran an editorial, written by “the editorial board,” about how Mamdani would be “bad for New York and bad for the Democratic Party,” claiming he would destroy public transit, reduce the number of grocery stores, drive away big businesses, depress low-skill employment, etc., etc., etc. Oh, and of course that this would discredit all the other young candidates across the country. The WaPo’s threat earlier this year to make their editorial page aggressively pro-capitalist and anti-public-good was apparently very much in earnest.
angry ceo threatens to close grocery chain… well, that will show them 😂
If he closes wouldn’t he be out of a job? Lol
Watch that be something super small time as well, like a guy who owns three convenience stores within about a mile of each other.
Those Jims are about to get Slimmer.
Sure, Piss Off 9 Million People surrounding the DC area, sounds like a great idea lmfao.
As a naturalized US Citizen, this is why I couldn’t sleep well on November 5, 2024, and haven’t ever really had a good night of sleep since the next morning, when I saw the election results.
Citizenship doesn’t exist under a tyranny. There’s only people inside the circle and people outside the circle. And the circle constantly gets smaller
Citizenship does exist under tyranny, but instead of having rights, you get duties.
Basically PUBG, but with more guns
I’ve read that Democrats are also looking at arcane old rules to try to disqualify him, so if the MAGA Nazis come for him, don’t expect any support from the Democratic Party.
Bill Clinton stepped in at the last minute to endorse the Dem incumbent, yeah the establishment (which is 95% of the Democratic party) won’t be thrilled.
Clinton didn’t endorse the incumbent. He endorsed Cuomo, New York’s former governor who resigned in disgrace several years ago. Apparently Cuomo feels that enough time has passed since he resigned in disgrace that he can try starting up his career again.
Wait, who is doing this?
None that I have been able to find; probably just hearsay, or a misrepresentation of what a pundit said on cable news somewhere.
I wouldn’t be surpised if the DNC was actively looking at various rules to get rid of Zohran.
Your lack of surprise is all the proof I needed.
Well, most people require evidence for such bold claims.
[Gestures wildly at David Hogg]
I hope Zohran gets a group of armed bodyguards. Sooner or later, ICE will try to disappear him.
It’s probably illegal to resist and illegal deportation
AFAICT, the law is not very well settled at all about whether you have a right to defend yourself when the cops are acting like a bunch of bozos. There’s case law that supports people defending themselves from middle of the night no-knocks raids, and also case law that basically says “it’s your fault for not just magically knowing it was the police”. There’s case law that says that you are within your rights to not obey lawful orders when the police fail to properly identify themselves, but it’s also an absolute mess of state level laws and rulings, with some states basically being like “you are legally required to just know who the cops are” and others requiring that the police very clearly identify themselves with some type of proof of who they are.
