A 'perfect' photo-op that failed.
Zohran Mamdani has been mayor of New York City for less than a month, but on Sunday, the Big Apple’s First Comrade may have given us the perfect metaphor for his entire tenure. As the massive refutation of global warming hit the city as hard as it has hit elsewhere around the country, Mamdani’s first thought appears to have been: “This is a terrific opportunity for a photo-op.”
Shovel in hand, the boy mayor ventured out into the snow-covered wilds of Brooklyn, bent on showing that he is truly a man of the people. All he ended up proving, however, is that, like so many other Communist leaders, he is a cosseted elitist, completely out of touch with the people he claims to champion, all style and no substance.
The man, as the world now knows, doesn’t even know how to shovel snow, and his performance in pretending to do so was so embarrassing that he received some unsolicited advice from another champion of the people, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-Planned Parenthood), who seized the opportunity to pose as a steady old hand at snow removal. Like Chuck Schumer grilling cheeseburgers, these leftist titans are just like you and me, doncha see?
The New York Post reported Monday that Mamdani “helped Brooklynites dig their cars out of snow dumped by Winter Storm Fern in a photo op on Sunday,” but video shows that he did not, in fact, do anything of the kind. Instead, he caught up a few shovelfuls of snow that were too far away from both cars and sidewalks to be useful to clear away, and tipped them back onto the ground a few feet off, accomplishing exactly nothing except the appearance of having done something.
That’s the first way in which he shovels snow like a Communist: leftist regimes often try to give their hapless citizens the idea that they’re doing something about their problems, but in reality, the elites are just taking care of themselves, not anyone else. Also, as every Communist regime in history has abundantly established, the alleged solutions that leftists do offer to their people don’t actually work. In this case, not only was Mamdani completely inept and ineffective at clearing snow, but his form was so bad that he reportedly hurt his back. --->READ MORE HERE
He needs to redistribute the strain on his back.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani helped Brooklynites dig their cars out of snow dumped by Winter Storm Fern in a photo op on Sunday — but he appeared to be no pro with a shovel.
Video shared by ABC7 shows a hatless Mamdani repeatedly pretzel his back as he lifts heavy shovelfuls of snow during his good Samaritan turn in Clinton Hill, eschewing ally Gov. Kathy Hochul’s safety tips on shoveling in the process.
The poor form ran afoul of how Hochul, a Buffalo native who is used to unreasonable amounts of snow, advised New Yorkers to shovel — namely, with their legs instead of their back.
“Do not bend over to shovel,” she said during a briefing to New Yorkers on Sunday. “You bend down your knees. You want to bend down so you can protect your back.
“Also, you do not need to have a high amount of snow on the shovel,” she said, recounting how her neighbors had heart attacks wielding too-large shovelfuls.
“It’s better to take multiple smaller bites at it, lift smaller amounts of snow, toss it aside. But do not try to go for the big, massive shoveful of snow because regardless of your health, this could cause a heart attack.”
As video of Mamdani’s further snow-shoveling adventures in Williamsburg spread online, Hochul directly offered the well-coiffed mayor advice. --->READ MORE HERE
