NYC Republican warns socialist candidate would create ‘lawless’ city

Exclusive: Inna Vernikovand A A member of the Republican Council in New York City spoke to Fox News Digital about the possibility that the New York City will be managed by socialist mayor Zahran Mamdani.

““I think it’s a very dangerous situation we are. I think we are looking at a chaotic city with chaos,” Fernikov said in November.

“I think we will see a lot of wealthy and middle class fleeing from New York City.”

Fernikov, who was born in the Soviet Union and came to the United States as a child, told Fox News Digital that she remembers that she is in her grandfather to a bottle of milk and compared to Mamdani and Communist Russia policies.

“Think about going to DMV. Think about going anywhere, and only remember the amount of red tape and incompetence that you will see to go to any of these agencies, and this is what Mamdani wants to do with New York City. He wants the government -run supermarkets. This is completely antibiotic, it completely runs what America is supposed to be. America was built on the free market economy, the free market for ideas, the idea of merit, capitalism, and competition. Capitalism is not perfect, but it is based on the idea of competition. “

Fernikov added that New York City, under Mamdani, in her opinion, will be “dangerous”, “chaotic”, and “Lawless”.

Mamdani met with the leader of the minority in the House of Representatives, Hakim Jeffrez in New York, on Friday, when Democrats are still under pressure on whether they would support Mamdani despite his previous controversial comments on the economy, Israel and the police.

Many experts, including some who spoke to Fox News Digital earlier this month, suggested that Mamdani’s victory would raise an account in the Democratic Party.

“There is no way for moderate and medium Democrats to adhere to socialism, cultural revolution and the luxury state that drives us to bankruptcy, and is compatible with the goals of fascist terrorists in the Middle East,” said Julian Epstein, Democrat. “So if he wins, he will not only continue to drown the party’s national brand, it may provide for the final separation of the party as we know it today.”

Fernikov chanted these feelings to Fox News Al -Digrami and said that Mamdani “is the Democratic Party today.”

“Fernikov said the problem with the Democratic Party is that it is no longer the Democratic Party of JFK. It is the AOC Democratic Party and all extremists. I have moved radically to the left, and many Democrats are now placed in this position: Do we support this man or stay away from this man? Some of them were actually exposed to the threat of physical violence, and the bond of progressive, so they are politically stuck. “
