Zohran Mamdani, a socialist mayoral candidate, has resurfaced controversial tweets from 2013 and 2014 in which he criticized Barack Obama, calling him 'pretty damn evil' and expressing distrust in his leadership, especially in light of national security revelations. Mamdani questioned the standards of progressivism among prominent figures like Obama and Bill de Blasio, highlighting a gap between public perception and his stances. Currently polling in a competitive Democratic primary against Andrew Cuomo, he aims to solidify support with alliances like that of City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.
"Hasn't Obama shown that the lesser evil is still pretty damn evil? How to improve if [the] criteria is just 'better than rep. crackpot?'"
"I can't trust quotes from @BarackObama, not since his continued lying in the face of Snowden's #NSA revelations."
