Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican member of the U.S. House of Representatives from New York, has accused Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani of plotting to turn New York City into a ‘communist Cuba.’ During an interview on the political talk show ‘The Big Weekend Show,’ Malliotakis described her concerns over Mamdani’s policies, which she believes would jeopardize the city’s democratic processes and economic structure.
In her remarks, Malliotakis highlighted the potential risks of Mamd’tani’s platform, which she argued could lead to increased government control over public services and a shift toward socialist policies. She pointed to the city’s infrastructure and budget as potential targets for such initiatives. While the specifics of Mamdani’s proposals remain unclear, Malliotakis’s allegations have sparked a heated debate among New York’s political stakeholders, with critics questioning the accuracy and intent behind her claims.
