Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a candidate in the upcoming New York gubernatorial race, sharply criticized New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani during a radio interview, calling him a 'very, very dangerous individual' with 'anti-American values.' Blakeman expressed concern over Mamdani's support for collectivist policies, arguing that such ideas threaten property rights and economic productivity. He vowed that, if elected governor, he would act as a check on Mamdani, pledging to enforce the law and protect the city's police department. The controversy follows Mamdani's decision to cancel several executive orders related to Israel, a move that has drawn widespread condemnation both domestically and internationally.
