‘Tech It Down’: Zoharan Mamdani has drawn a flake as an old post on Columbus; Italian American criticizes
Zoharan Mamdani, a candidate from New York City Mayor, again entangled himself in a controversy after an old social media post on Monday, which began calling the bird flipping and calling the bird in a statue of Christopher Columbus and for its removal. In a tweet in June 2020, Socialist Mamdani depicts the middle finger in the huge statue in Estoria, a neighborhood that comes within his state assembly district.“Take it down,” Mamdani said, who was running for the state assembly at that time.
The post did not sit well with Italian Americans in Big Apple City, including Columbus Heritage alliance, this week has revived the post social platform. Angelo Vivollo, president of the Columbus Heritage Alliance, vowed not to support the Lefte candidate in November.“We will protect the idols of Columbus Day and Columbus,” Vivollo told the New York Post.“He is becoming derogatory to the Italian American community,” Vivollo said, who is the former head of the Columbus Citizen Foundation, who runs the city’s Columbus Day Parade. “If you humiliate a community, you annoy all the communities.“I don’t think he will be the mayor for all the people of New York City.”Italian Americans, founder and president of the Italian American Museum, Joseph Scalesa said Italian Americans have built 8% of the population in the city.He said, “There will be a trustee to eliminate such a large population of people.” “This is not inclusive. It is a exclusion.“Who to say who is a hero and who is not a hero? Columbus is our hero.”Zoharan Mamdani made a major disturbance for the mayor candidate of NYC in last month’s Democratic Primary, when he defeated former New York Governor Andrew Kuomo.Mamdani may possibly face cumo again in the November general elections, as the Italian American poles have long been considering contesting as an independent, with current Mayor Eric Adams, who are planning to run again for the office, but this time as an independent. Apart from this, GOP candidates will be Kartis Sliva in the ground.
