“Defund The Police” Mamdani Spent Thousands On Private Security For Himself

New York City Mayoral candidate & “Defund the Police” activist, Zohran Mamdani, has spent $33,495 so far on private security from a firm that employs NYPD officers.

Mamdani has said over 15 times that he wants to defund the police and that as Mayor, he would disband the NYPD Strategic Response Group – the same task force that responded to the recent deadly New York shooting.

Mamdani’s disgraceful comments about NYPD include:

• “I am in favor of defunding the police”
• “Queer liberation means defunding the police”
• “We need a socialist city council to defund the police”
• “Defund the police & build a socialist New York”

Mamdani’s campaign is proudly backed by far-left groups who have also called to defund the police.

Mamdani thinks he deserves security — but you don’t. While he shells out thousands to protect himself, he’s trying to take those protections away from law-abiding New Yorkers.
