Transcript

what were the mayors doing before Mamdani? Which is playing with their dicks? Twiddling their thumbs? Dilly-dallying counting the tiles? Playing dress up? Playing patty cake? Playing ring around the Rosie? Like, what were they doing? What were they doing? I just watched a video of a man in the London tube saying Mamdani, we need your help here. We need some AC up in this bitch. We now have international requests for assistance from the mayor of New York City because he's so effective. The Mamdani bat signal is being shown all across the world because he's a public servant and he's actually serving the public. Crazy. Mamdani is so effective that it seems as though past mayors, they were going out of their way to make everything worse for New Yorkers. Like, you guys had been elected the opp. You guys had a hater on your squad. Haters galore. What? He's a national treasure. One of our few public servants that actually care to serve. #zohranmamdani #nycmayor @Zohran Mamdani #nyc
