WATCH: Warren Goes All In on Zohran, Says We Will “Try Things” on Groceries- 8.4.25
Senator Elizabeth Warren has made it official– she is Team Zohran Mamdani.
While some Democrats have been reticent to endorse the NYC Mayoral frontrunner because of his socialist agenda, Warren is going all in.
Watch the senator from Massachusetts, who is best known for faking Native American ancestry to get ahead, explain her support for Mamdani.
She even voiced support for trying things on groceries.
Mamdani is a big proponent of city-run grocery stores–despite the fact that the entire plan is based on an accounting error.
The Washington Examiner’s Tim Carney explained:
When Zohran Mamdani, the New York Democratic mayoral nominee, defends his idea of socialist grocery stores, he says he can pay for them by cutting city subsidies to “corporate grocery stores.”
This claim is based on a basic misunderstanding of the city’s current grocery subsidies. The money he plans to use to pay for his city-owned grocery stores is money the city doesn’t have.
Specifically, he wrongly believes that the city is spending $140 million to subsidize private grocery stores, and he thinks he can take half of that money and use it to build government groceries.
But why would Mamdani think the city has money it doesn’t? Well, Carney has thoughts.
So why does Mamdani use that $140 million number?
He misread the city’s webpage.
The city’s Economic Development Corporation estimates that grocery stores have invested $140 million of their own money thanks to the FRESH program. Mamdani is counting the $140 million in private spending as government spending.
…
That money was invested not by the city, but by “corporate grocery stores.”
The really socialist way to read this is that Mamdani believes that money invested by private grocery stores is his to spend. The more likely explanation is that Mamdani misunderstands the government website and thus is planning to pay for his grocery stores with money that doesn’t exist.
Based off the November election and recent polling, many Americans are unimpressed with the Democrat party’s progressive agenda. Is making a proud socialist who can’t condemn the phrase “globalize the intifada” the new face of the resistance really the best idea?
Well, Liz Warren seems to think so!
