The Republican running against New York Democratic attorney general Letitia James took aim at her relationship with socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in an interview with Fox News Digital, arguing that it puts New York voters in jeopardy. "That association is not a surprise, because when she first ran for the New York City Council in New York City, she ran on the Working Family Party line because the Democrat party wouldn't endorse her, she's been a supporter of cashless her whole political career," Michael Henry told Fox News Digital about James’ endorsement and association with Mamdani. James spoke at a rally in front of Mamdani supporters earlier this month, telling the roughly 3,000 people in the crowd after she was indicted for mortgage fraud, "You come for me? You gonna come to all of us!" Henry told Fox News Digital that James’ closeness to Mamdani, who has been labeled a communist by many, shows she’s "out of touch" and suggests that will be a "problem" for her long term.

Henry said. "He's not a serious person. He's a failed actor." CURTIS SLIWA VOWS TO BE ZOHRAN MAMDANI'S 'WORST NIGHTMARE' IF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST WINS NYC MAYORAL RACE James, who appe…
