Mamdani Turns Into Kamala Harris on 'The View' - Responds With Gibberish to Question on Aides' Rabid Anti-White Racism

Former Vice President Kamala Harris once reflected on a disastrous media moment by admitting, “I had no idea I had pulled the pin on a hand grenade.”

Harris made that confession in her memoir 107 Days, describing her infamous appearance on The View during her mercifully brief presidential campaign. The segment became a defining example of how an unguarded moment, paired with evasive rhetoric, can crystallize public doubts about a candidate’s competence and convictions.

That same dynamic appeared to replay itself this week — only this time, the grenade was handed to New York City’s newly installed progressive mayor, Zohran Mamdani.

Mamdani, still early in his political ascent, sat down on The View and found himself under scrutiny for the radical and inflammatory remarks made by several members of his inner circle. While his own “Peter Principle” moment may not yet rival Harris’ peak incompetence, the warning signs were unmistakably similar.

The controversy centers on racist and sexist comments attributed to Mamdani’s advisers, particularly targeting white women. Alyssa Farah Griffin, one of the show’s designated “conservatives,” pressed Mamdani directly about those remarks.

“Your new chief equity officer made several now deleted comments, disparaging liberal white women,” Griffin said. “Your tenant advocate said that home ownership was a weapon of white supremacy and called to elect more communists, among other posts.

“What message do you think this conveys to New Yorkers, and how would you push back on this?”

Mamdani’s response strongly suggested he had studied at the Kamala Harris School of Crisis Management. Rather than confront the substance of the criticism, he delivered a meandering word salad designed to obscure rather than clarify.

“If you want to know my views or my opinions, you’ll find them in my words,” Mamdani said. “As the mayor of New York City, and I’m someone who’s looking to make a city that every New Yorker can afford. That includes those who are tenants, those who are homeowners, those who aspire to be homeowners.

“Because in this, I think we find that stability,” he continued. “And I think, frankly, what New Yorkers are also looking for are the outcomes, and that’s what I care about, the outcomes and the excellence we deliver.”

He went on to defend one of the advisers — without mentioning her by name — by praising her work targeting abusive landlords. What he did not do was address the extremist ideology embedded in her past statements.

Those statements remain difficult to ignore. In 2019, the adviser wrote, “Private property including any kind of ESPECIALLY homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as ‘wealth building’ public policy.” In 2018, she posted, “Impoverish the white middle class. Homeownership is racist/failed public policy.” Another post from the same year declared, “There is no such thing as a ‘good’ gentrifier, only people who are actively working on projects to dismantle white supremacy and capitalism and people who aren’t.”

Mamdani offered no rebuttal, no clarification, and no repudiation of those views.

Instead, the public was asked to accept that aggressively pursuing “bad landlords” somehow excuses explicit racial animus and open hostility toward capitalism and private property. By that logic, even the most toxic ideologue could be justified for public office so long as they target the right enemies.

Ultimately, Mamdani’s refusal to confront the racism, sexism, and anti-Semitism emanating from his own team speaks louder than any rehearsed talking point. Just as Harris’ verbal evasions confirmed suspicions that she was merely a loyal foot soldier for Joe Biden’s political machine, Mamdani’s performance reinforced critics’ fears that his administration is ideologically driven and morally selective.

The pin has been pulled.

What Mayor Mamdani chooses to do next is up to him — but, as Kamala Harris learned the hard way, there is no putting the grenade back together once it explodes.
