Amid a fresh torrent of criticism over Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s past tweets bashing the NYPD, he said on Wednesday that those posts are “clearly out of step” with his current views on policing in the five boroughs.
Mamdani, during his first news conference since returning from a multi-day trip to Uganda, distanced himself from past social media posts sharply criticizing the NYPD in the wake of a mass shooting earlier this week that claimed the life of one police officer, Didarul Islam, and three other New Yorkers.
