Mollie Hemingway on Zohran Mamdani: ‘A Disaster in Waiting if People Go Down This Path’ (VIDEO)

Conservative writer Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist recently appeared on FOX News to offer her thoughts about communist Zohran Mamdani and his surprising rise in the NYC mayoral race.

Hemingway notes that the policies that Mamdani is advocating have been tried before in various places and have consistently failed. She also points out how bad this is for the Democrats from a point of optics. They are already viewed as out of step with mainstream Americans and this just makes that problem worse.

Like many others who have commented on this, Hemingway takes a very cautionary tone, suggesting that disaster awaits if he wins.

Watch:

NYC socialism spells disaster.

“Democrats already have extreme policies like transing kids—now an open socialist who wants to end capitalism is set to run NYC, America's crown jewel of capitalism. It's a disaster waiting to happen.” — @MZHemingway pic.twitter.com/qYFnBLl1DC

Hemingway also suggested that Mamdani is the natural result of what Democrats have done with blue cities.

LAURA INGRAHAM, HOST: Mollie, the hard thing, I think, for the Democrats is, you know, they’re like Dr. Frankenstein. They created the monster. They allowed this anti-Americanism and anti-Semitism to infect their party.

And they got some votes from it, for sure. But now it’s coming for their party, I think. And I don’t – other than just completely disavowing these policy positions, which they’re going to have to do, what else can they do here? Except, I guess, let them win.

MOLLIE HEMINGWAY, FEDERALIST, FOX NEWS: Yeah, Democrats are freaking out about this, in part because they know they’re already being viewed as the party of hate and anti-Semitism and unrealistic economic ideas. And to have this guy, who’s so prominent, be the figurehead, is very bad for them. But it’s also the natural result of what their party has been doing in cities and states across the country for decades.

We’ve dealt with mismanagement of cities and states. A lot of his ideas are very radical, but still the natural end of what we’ve been subjected to in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York for a long time now.

Watch the video:

It’s just amazing to think that New York might actually do this.
