The Frightening Dream House of Zoran Mamdani

Victor Davis Hanson, American Greatness

Mamdani reflects a pattern of affluent, left-wing, and highly educated immigrants from

impoverished countries. Mamdani's parents rank in the top one percent of income and educational brackets, the America his family sought as a refuge must be transformed into one of the socialist-communist nations of the sort that have failed everywhere. The glib Mamdani has canned answers for all of his past embarrassments—except one. Why would he wish to turn New York City into a social basket-case like Uganda, which his now-rich parents fled?
