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.

      The Democrat party elites would celebrate together with the Republicans and the cokeheads at Wall Street as this means putting the sexual predator and “centrist” Cuomo back on the D ticket.

      Those gravy seals would be shot dead by his security detail.

      That’s what would happen, and why it won’t.

        You really think a handful of local cops are going to get into a firefight with federal agents? This isn’t the movies. They’re not going to just see a handful of local cops and say “Drat! Foiled again!” while twirling their evil mustaches.

        There’s only a handful of ways that’s going to go down.

        1. A bunch of local cops end up dead.
        2. A bunch of local cops end up in jail for crimes ranging from interfering with the duties of federal officers to murder of federal officers.
        3. A bunch of local cops just hand him over to the feds.

          You’re forgetting the most likely option: 3. The local cops simply hand him over to the feds. Cops are not your fucking friends I don’t know how much clearer it can get at this point.

          Apparently yes. I just looked it up. Five or six guys from the NYPD have the duty of protecting the mayor. On a case by case basis, his family might also get security. In the case of Rudy Juliani, both his wife and his mistress for security details because of course.

          Would local guys defend against federal guys? Don’t know.

            I was more wondering where he got the money, but I guess you can spend campaign money on that stuff. That makes sense.
