New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani is proving that his socialist campaign rhetoric isn’t just talk.
Mamdani is positioning himself to rake in votes from radical leftists in New York City, and it’s clear he has no interest in listening to anyone else. Take it from Shark Tank investor Kevin O’Leary, who reached out to the candidate’s team for a discussion and was ignored, then turned away.
Watch:
I’m in New York for two days and reached out twice to Zohran Mamdani’s team to request a face-to-face meeting. No reply last night. This morning, they said “no interest.” That’s disappointing.
If he wants to lead this city, he should be open to hearing from investors. I’m not… pic.twitter.com/qrI6QEzRMu

“I’m in New York for two days and reached out twice to Zohran Mamdani’s team to request a face-to-face meeting. No reply last night. This morning, they said ‘no interest.’ That’s disappointing. If he wants to lead this city, he should be open to hearing from investors. I’m not partisan. I care about policy. And I had real advice on housing, real estate, tech, and economic growth,” O’Leary wrote in his X post.
The comments quickly filled up with people speculating on why Mamdani’s team may have rejected O’Leary’s offer:
He’s avoiding the meeting because because he’s afraid you’ll shine a light on his communist blueprint.

Get out while you can!
He will likely institute an exodus tax to keep businesses from leaving.

In the mind of a true socialist, investors and business owners are the problem – not the solution. They already know the answer to the question before it is asked and that answer is always more gov’t, more regulation. NYC needs to wake up to this fact and fast.

New York is a dying city. Invest elsewhere.
