If you wonder what’s wrong with our country right now, you have only to look at the New York mayoral race.
It’s all about Elitists, Money and Bullying. What is happening cuts to the very heart of what it means to be an American.
We have a group of Elitists who feel they have the right to control an election by telling candidates who can or cannot run.
The end result is that regular people don’t have a chance of running for office.
Especially if you are qualified.
But qualifications are something that are never discussed. Only the size of a candidate’s war chest. Unless a candidate is well heeled, the race is over.
So,who is it that is telling us who we can vote for?
It’s the Elitists.
They won't tell Virginia Attorney General candidate Jay Jones to hang it up when he threatens to kill an opponent. Democrat Elitists forced Joe out. Now Democrats are doing it in New York. Except this time, it’s for a Republican. Like they tried to do with Trump.
John Catsimatidis is one of them.
Catsimatidis is a nice guy. He’s also loaded. But he worked for it. He’s a self-made man, coming from humble beginnings.
This Democrat owns WABC radio, pricey real estate, and a string of grocery stores in New York City.
He has a lot of clout. Now he’s decided to use it to tell a Republican, Curtis Sliwa, to get out of the race for mayor.
Nobody, but nobody wants Mamdani to be elected. He’s a Communist.
Nonetheless, no private citizen has the right to tell another private citizen, "Hey, buddy. I don't want you to run for office."
“Curtis should pull out right now,” Catsimatidis said this week. “We cannot take a chance on Zohran winning.
“People will be proud of him (Curtis), that he did the right thing for New York City.”
Sliwa has a show on WABC radio, so Catsimatidis is his boss.
When he says Curtis should put his love of the city above personal ambition, does he mean, “…Or you’ll lose your job?”
This billionaire owner of Gristedes and D’Agostino supermarkets has a personal interest, because of Mamdani’s promise of a government take over of grocery stores.
But Catsimatidis also mentioned reliance on one particular poll.
The poll came out this Monday, and claimed Mamdani and Cuomo would run neck-and-neck if Sliwa dropped out.
Hold on! Wait a minute!
WOR radio’s Mark Simone reported that the poll was bought and paid for by Cuomo.
Cuomo is another Muckety-Muck Elitist who thinks he can tell Republican Curtis Sliwae that he shouldn’t run for mayor.
Because Cuomo wants to.
Yes. Cuomo is running again. After all, politics is all he knows. And he never admits he’s not very good at it.
He resigned as governor of New York in disgrace.
He lost big time in the Democrat primary.
Then he decided to run as a Third-Party candidate, and had the nerve to call the Republican candidate a “Spoiler!” Shows he's not very bright.
He said that In a recent “Cat’s Roundtable” That's Catsimatidi's radio show.
As Greta Thunberg would say, “How dare they!”
CNN did its Elitist-support part, dismissing candidate Sliwa for “his brushes with the mob.”
Yeah. The story is that the mob tried to take out the Guardian Angel founder. Shot him five times. Put him in the hospital twice.
But Sliwa didn’t die, or give up.
CNN didn’t mention that. Or that some people have tried to bribe Sliwa to drop out of the race. As much as a million dollars.
During the recent mayoral debate, Curtis, who has a contentious relationship with President Trump, emphasized that a New York mayor should work with the president.
It’s common sense.
Mamdani and Cuomo trashed Trump.
But, when asked, it seems, Trump is backing, unofficially, without saying it out loud, Andrew Cuomo.
Do you remember how Cuomo handled Covid? Does Trump?
How the then-New York governor handled the then-President Trump when Trump was trying to help with Covid in New York?
How Cuomo killed thousands of old people by putting them in nursing homes instead of hospitals?
Yet, despite his faults, and there are many, Cuomo is given a chance that he doesn't deserve.
And we're told, "Well, son. That's the way it is."
When you have the money.
Hold the Line, America. Stay strong, Patriots.
