Zohran Mamdani is vying to become New York City's first Muslim mayor after defeating former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary. WABC host Sid Rosenberg expressed concerns about the possibility of Cuomo and current Mayor Eric Adams splitting the non-Republican vote. During the broadcast, he used dehumanizing language, referring to Mamdani as an 'animal.' Mamdani's pro-Palestine stance has raised alarm among Israel proponents, adding to the controversial discourse surrounding his candidacy. Rosenberg's history of incendiary remarks further illustrates the intense political climate in New York City.
On Wednesday, WABC New York radio host Sid Rosenberg appeared on Fox News, where he expressed the fear shared by many establishment pundits, which is that Cuomo and Adams will split the non-Republican, anti-Mamdani vote.
Describing Mamdani’s campaign, Rosenberg exclaimed, 'The enthusiasm for this guy is through the roof.' He then stated, 'But right now, there is no logical reason to believe this animal — he's an animal — he's not going to win.'
Mamdani achieved a stunning upset over former Governor Andrew Cuomo in June's Democratic primary, placing him in contention to be the first Muslim mayor of New York City.
Rosenberg's statements, employing dehumanizing language, reflect long-held sentiments towards political adversaries, as he additionally claimed, 'Cuomo and Adams will eat each other alive.'
