Democratic nominee Zohran Mamdani scored a decisive victory Tuesday night in the New York City mayoral election, and MAGA is taking its rage out not on the progressive candidate, but rather, his Republican opponent.
“F— you Curtis Sliwa!’ wrote former Republican Congressman George Santos, who was recently released from prison after being pardoned by President Donald Trump, in a social media post on X. “I HATE YOU, your dumb wife, that stupid Beret of yours and all your f------ cats!”
Mamdani faced off Tuesday night against former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo – who secured 41.6% of the vote to Mamdani’s 50.4%, according to unofficial election results – and Sliwa, the lone GOP candidate who ended up receiving 7.1% of the vote.
The rage directed at Sliwa, many MAGA enthusiasts say, is over allegations that he acted as a spoiler in the race by directing votes away from Cuomo, who polls indicated had the best chance to overcome Mamdani. However, based on the unofficial election results, even if every Sliwa voter had voted for Cuomo, Mamdani still would have come out on top.
Nevertheless, MAGA loyalists couldn’t hold their contempt for Sliwa after Mamdani’s victory, with many shunning him from the Republican party for life.
“Never want to hear from Curtis Sliwa again,” wrote X user “Johnny MAGA,” who’s amassed more than 260,000 followers.
Charly Arnolt, a pro-Trump sports broadcaster with a net worth estimated to be around $2 million, went as far as to hope that Sliwa would be forever disgraced in his home city.
“I truly hope Curtis Sliwa is shunned in NYC,” Arnolt wrote in a social media post on X. “He is a disgrace, a coward and a traitor and should no longer be welcome to walk the streets he claimed to support.”
Chaos had even ensued at Cuomo’s election watch party Tuesday night, where one attendee was captured on video shouting profanity directed at Sliwa.
“Curtis Sliwa threw this election, shame on you, you’re a scumbag, you will never be loved in New York City ever again!” the attendee could be heard shouting.
I truly hope Curtis Sliwa is shunned in NYC. He is a disgrace, a coward and a traitor and should no longer be welcome to walk the streets he claimed to support.
