Cuomo calls Mamdani a ‘dangerous’ ‘socialist’ in heated NYC mayoral race

Former ruler Andrew Komo told Fox News’ Maria Bartiromo at “Sunday Morning Futures”.

The main candidates of the town are the political gap that has been brewing the Democratic Party since president Donald Trump’s restoration of the White House last year.

Komo said that this “internal discussion” should be “not surprising”, and it connects Mamdani to his self -described socialist colleagues, MP Alexandria Okasio Cortez, Den.

Como said: “The introductory elections get the most active people, often on the democratic side, the most left -wing people to vote, and mobilized children between the ages of 20 and 30, and socialist. Socialist organizations have sent volunteers and sent funding,” said Komo, who rationalized the democratic democratic victory.

Komo said: “People in New York City are not socialists.” “They are not anti -business people. They are not people opposed to companies. They want jobs. They want to grow.”

“It is the organizers of New York City to be hostile to companies,” Komo said in Fox News on Sunday.

Komo said New York City “built on capitalism.”

Mamdani plans to pay for his ambitious political agenda, which includes free buses, health care stores without cost and groceries run by the city, by raising taxes at 1 % and companies.

His plan includes raising corporate tax rate to 11.5 % and imposing taxes on the richest 1 % of the New York population by 2 %, according to the Mamdani campaign website.

“New York City companies are already high, as well as individuals.” “I think it will be a death for New York City, and it is dangerous, frankly, for New York City.”

Meanwhile, Komo explained that “the strategy to develop growth supporting growth” focuses on attracting business and building it and is pivotal in the Como campaign.

“Many companies have moved, as you know, from New York. Therefore, number one, get more companies here and develop the companies here,” Kumo explained.

A study conducted by Bloomberg found that 158 ​​companies running $ 993 billion in assets transported its headquarters from New York between 2020 and 2023.

In addition to building companies in New York City, Como said it focuses on public safety and housing at reasonable prices.

Komo said: “The crime is a real problem in New York City as it is in cities throughout the country, and New York City has worsened. A few years ago, this socialists passed” the police “, this anti -police movement.”
