New York Mayor Mamdani backs congressional candidate despite deleted anti-American social media posts
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani is standing by his endorsement of Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist running for Congress, even after deleted social media posts attributed to her, calling America "a f-----g disgrace" and demanding the abolition of borders, police, and prisons, resurfaced ahead of the June 23 primary.Mamdani, asked about the posts at a Wednesday news conference, said he hadn't seen them. He offered no condemnation. Instead, he praised the 32-year-old community organizer as "an incredible champion" for New York's 13th congressional district.
The episode lays bare a pattern familiar to anyone watching the far left's march through New York politics: say whatever you want about America, its laws, and its institutions, and the party machinery will look the other way, or, better yet, change the subject to "evolution."
Avila Chevalier's now-deleted posts, spanning 2018 to 2022, amount to a running catalogue of contempt for the country she now wants to represent in Congress. Fox News Digital reported that the posts attacked the United States, the Democratic Party, private property, police, and the very concept of national borders.
- In one post, she wrote: "This country is a f-----g disgrace." In another, she said: "I forgot to get napkins so I just wiped my hand on the American flag behind me."
- She reportedly called former President Joe Biden a "rapist" and "war criminal." She wrote "F--k Kamala Harris." She chastised Sen. Bernie Sanders, hardly a right-winger, for his "liberal Zionism."
- A 2021 repost declared that abolishing borders, prisons, and police is "possible, necessary, and the only moral way forward."
- Other posts stated flatly that "all deportation is wrong" and "Yes, literally abolish the border."
- During the COVID-19 pandemic, Avila Chevalier demanded $3,000 per month in universal basic income, the nationalization of utilities, pharmaceutical companies, and hospitals, the suspension of mortgages and rent, the seizure of private property from landlords, the dissolution of insurance companies, and the expansion of Medicare to every citizen.
