New York Teacher Has a Very Communist Solution for Keeping Businesses in the Big Apple
Townhall | 02/06/2026 | Amy CurtisLet’s see how things are going in the communist utopia of New York . . . Mamdani is siding with criminals who try to kill cops.

We would fine them to hell if they’re going to try to abandon their property here. Cause clearly people do need to work, people do need to make a living.”
