Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani doubled down Sunday on his plan to jack up property taxes on “richer and whiter neighborhoods” — while asserting billionaires shouldn’t exist.
Mamdani — dubbed “the Fidel Castro of New York” by one deep-pocketed critic — claimed his soak-the-rich proposal was “not driven by race” despite his campaign platform explicitly targeting white homeowners.
“That is just a description of what we see right now. It’s not driven by race. It’s more of an assessment of what neighborhoods are being under-taxed versus over-taxed,” Mamdani told NBC News’ “Meet the Press.”
“We’ve seen time and again that this is a property tax system that is inequitable. It’s one that actually Eric Adams ran on, saying that he would change in the first 100 days,” the pol said.
The presumptive Democratic nominee for New York City mayor shrugged off concerns that invoking race could alienate voters, arguing he’s “just naming things as they are.”
