‘So Phony!’: Legal Immigrant Trashes Mamdani, Says ‘It Just Makes My Head Explode’

A legal immigrant unloaded on Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani (D-NYC), saying that he couldn’t get over how “phony” the self-described Democratic socialist had been while on the campaign trail.

The conversation took place on “The Morning Meeting” podcast with hosts Mark Halperin, Dan Turrentine, and Sean Spicer as voters headed to the polls in New York City — where Mamdani was squaring off against former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), who is running as an independent, and Republican Curtis Sliwa.

Toward the end of the show, the hosts took questions and comments from several who were on the stream — and one took aim immediately at Mamdani.

“My family and I, we came to the U.S. when I was seven years old,” he said. “As you can hear, I have a perfect American accent — as does Zohran Mamdani. And then the other day, I heard him speak in this Ugandan accent, and where did that come from?”

“Just this weird little thing I’d like to point out,” he continued. “That controversy, when he was eating rice with his hands. That’s actually very common in the Philippines, but it’s only poor Filipinos who do it. A well-to-do Filipino would not be caught dead eating rice with his hands.”

“Upper-class Zohran Mamdani eating with his hands — and that fake Ugandan accent — is the phoniest thing I’ve ever seen! And it just makes my head explode!” he continued. “Even more than the free buses and free this and free that, what makes my head explode is that the guy is so phony, and nobody cares!”
