Rep. Ocasio Cortez: "We Are Not Crazy, We Are Sane"

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani (D) at a weekend rally in Queens, evoking the city’s immigrant roots and calling on supporters to reject claims that their movement is “crazy.” 

She said, "We are not crazy, we are sane."

Ocasio-Cortez, a longtime ally of Mamdani, took the stage Sunday to rally voters ahead of next month’s general election, framing New York City’s diversity and resilience as a foundation for the progressive movement’s platform.

Mamdani is beyond "progressive." He is an avowed socialist with Communist tendencies. 

And he lies. A lot.

He is on track to become New York's next mayor in next week's election.

Be informed, not misled.

Ocasio-Cortez, a longtime ally of Mamdani, took the stage Sunday to rally voters ahead of next month’s general election, framing New York City’s diversity and resilience as a foundation for the progressive movement’s platform.

She said, “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Jews escaping the Holocaust, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow,” she told the crowd. “Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together in Queens, in Brooklyn, in the Bronx, in Manhattan, in Staten Island, in this country, in a vision to build the freest, toughest, and greatest city on earth.”

Frankly, if these people take control of New York City, it's over for New York City. 

This is a jihadist movement.

Via Breitbart News:

Democrat Party leadership has shifted in response to the growing influence of figures like Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani. On Friday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) formally endorsed Mamdani after months of internal division in the party, writing that Mamdani had “explicitly committed to being a mayor for all New Yorkers.” The endorsement came months after Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) backed Mamdani, calling him “the best choice for NYC mayor” and praising his “grass-roots movement fueled by everyday people.”

In her speech, Ocasio-Cortez urged voters to stay firm in their convictions, saying, “We must remember in a time such as this, we are not the crazy ones, New York City. We are not the outlandish ones, New York City. They want us to think we are crazy. We are sane.”

Are they sane?

Real estate experts are warning that Mamdani, the Democratic candidate in the upcoming mayoral election, could destroy the housing market if he wins.

The policies at the core of Mamdani's campaign are largely unpopular with wealthy and upper-middle-class residents.

The Daily Mail says, "Grant Cardone, real estate investor and close ally of President Donald Trump, told them 'I love New York. It's iconic. But if the city keeps attacking success, it'll end up with empty skyscrapers and full U-Hauls heading South. You can't legislate prosperity - you've got to produce it."

He believes Mamdani could demolish the city's potential: 'If this guy gets his way, New York's going to turn into a museum - all history, no future. You can't build wealth when you punish the people creating it.'

Cardone says signs that the market will crumble are already showing: 'I'm already seeing investors pull out. You can't demonize the people providing housing and expect them to stick around. You don't fix affordability by scaring off developers, you fix it by building more.' 

He continued: 'Every time a politician says they're "protecting tenants" but crushes landlords and developers, they destroy the very supply that keeps housing alive. That's not affordability — that's insanity.' 

President Trump himself has referred to Mamdani's plans for the city as the "communist" regime of 33-year-old Mamdani. 

This is what the Republican National Committee thought about last week's Mayoral debate:

At last night’s New York City mayoral debate, Zohran Mamdani proudly doubled down on his extremist communist agenda — reminding voters exactly why he’s too dangerous for New York.

Here’s what Mamdani proudly defended on stage:

  • Defending open drug injection sites in New York City.
  • Refusing to cooperate with ICE to keep New Yorkers safe. 
  • Spending $700 million a year to make “the slowest buses” “fast.”
  • Saying his politics is built for “queer and trans Ugandans." [He was born in Uganda]

The RNC said, "At last week's debate, Mamdani tried to evade his defund the police record, stumped for decriminalizing prostitution, pledged to raise taxes by $9 billion, and promoted communist price controls." 

They continued, "This is who Democrats like Hakeem Jeffries are rallying behind – a radical communist who will destroy New York City by embracing the most extreme policies that will cost New Yorkers their hard-earned money and allow drug users and violent criminals to roam the streets."

Is it too late for New York City



Mamdani and his troops, including Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, are so far left that their supporters are booing their comrades who used to be on the cutting edge of so-called "progressivism" off the stage.

Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul opted to take the stage at Sunday’s rally for Zohran Mamdani — and wound up serving as the warm-up act for socialist icons Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders, except even that blew up in her face.

The crowd greeted her with boos, jeers, and taunts of “Tax the rich,” and all the governor could do was grin and bear it.

It got so bad that Mamdani had to take the stage to rescue her, grabbing her hand, throwing their joined arms upward, and walking her off to applause — for him.

She tried to pass off the humiliation on Monday with a joke: “I thought they were saying, ‘Let’s Go Bills,’” she claimed. (Shades of “Let’s go, Brandon”!)

The New York Post Editorial Board says, "New Yorkers, it seems, are starting to wake up to the Mamdani threat."

"To have any hope of stopping the looming Zohran Mamdani catastrophe, New Yorkers need to get to the voting booth and cast their ballots against him," the Editorial Board warns.

The Board says, "The situation couldn’t be more dire: Mamdani’s promises — free buses and child care, no rent hikes, etc. — and charm have won him a commanding lead in the polls."

A flicker of hope for the normal people still living in New York City.

The Post says, "Fortunately, that edge is narrowing dramatically in the final days: A Suffolk University survey finds he’s now just 10 points ahead of second-place contender Andrew Cuomo, down from a 20-point lead last month."

Takeaway

"Jewish Lives Matter" posted this on social media: 

Before his run for NYC mayor, Zohran Mamdani proudly bragged at rallies about founding Students for Justice in Palestine at his university, the same extremist network with ties to Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups that spread pro-jihad, anti-Israel, and anti-American propaganda across U.S. campuses.

This isn’t a reformer, it’s a radical.

This isn’t progress, it’s regression wrapped in slogans.

If you’re Jewish, ask yourself this:

How can you vote for someone whose entire platform is built on anti-Zionism, a belief that rejects the core identity and homeland of 90% of Jews believe in worldwide?

Make no mistake: Mamdani isn’t just “critical of Israel.” He’s aligned with those who openly demonize it, the same ideology that fuels hatred, division, and violence against Jews in New York and beyond.

He’s the Trojan Horse that they warned you about.
