Outside Rep. Adriano Espaillat’s primary night party, four men on the sidewalk were dressed in full neon sequins, trying to get the party started. Inside, the bar had barely opened.
Espaillat spent 20 years trying to get to Washington and another 10 years in Congress. He arrived to give his concession speech and left in under 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, the real party was going on about three miles away. That’s where Zohran Mamdani was completing his victory lap of three celebrations with candidates who likely would not have gotten near Congress without his endorsements, just a year after he stunned the political world by beating Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic mayoral primary.
Isn’t Mamdani also rich? Won’t be therefore be an oligarch also? Technically.
Who told you that?
Did someone tell you he’s a leprechaun too?
Do I need to provide sources that he doesn’t shit gold?
I read that his mother was a well received director, and assumed he came from a rich family. Is his family not wealthy?
No.
No.
If you stopped moving goalposts, you could have easily googled it by now buddy…
Or are you “just asking questions”?
I thought all the rightwingers had given that up
You’re right: I went from referring to him as directly being wealthy, and then talked about his family (or at least his mom) being wealthy. I’m conflating the two.
Are we no longer allowed to do that on forums? Would you prefer I speak to machines only? What’s an Internet without the ability to converse like this?
I’m not a right winger, but is me talking like this/asking these questions upsetting you enough that you don’t think I support him and that I must be right wing?
His net worth is 200,000 to 300,000. That isn’t much for a married couple by New York standards https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/zohran-mamdani-family-wealth-inheritance-details-feb87e
