John Catsimatidis, the billionaire owner of WABC Radio and Red Apple Media, has called on Republican mayoral nominee and WABC host Curtis Sliwa to drop out of the election — citing concerns that the Guardian Angels founder’s candidacy may split the vote and “inadvertently help another candidate.”
The “another candidate,” as Red Apple Media described in an Oct. 20 announcement, seems to be Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist who Catismatidis previously labeled as someone who “wants to be the Fidel Castro of New York City,” referring to the murderous communist Cuban dictator.
