Mamdani ripped over 'freak show' news conference where eviction was declared a form of 'violence'
2026-07-17
[FOX] Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing criticism online over a news conference where a local housing advocate claimed evictions are a form of "violence" as the mayor stood

behind her.

"Our city is turning the corner on tenant power. When we organize, we win results. The Mamdani administration is emboldening us so we no longer tolerate the violence of evictions as a matter of business as usual," Antonia Marrero, a member of the Housing Organizers for People Empowerment (HOPE) Tenant Union, said during a news conference Thursday.

Mamdani, who has faced heavy criticism over the past year for his housing policies, was quickly blasted by conservatives and political commentators in general on social media over the comment.

"This looks like a scene out of a Batman movie," Heritage Foundation senior fellow Mike Gonzalez posted on X.
