New York City socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing criticism online over a press conference where a local housing advocate claimed evictions are a form of "violence" as the mayor stood behind her. "Our city is turning the corner on tenant power. When we organize, we win results. The Mamdani administration is emboldening us so we no longer tolerate the violence of evictions as a matter of business as usual," Antonia Marrero, a member of the Housing Organizers for People Empowerment (HOPE) Tenant Union, said during a press conference on Thursday.

"This is the game Mamdani is playing," Red State writer Bonchie posted on X. "He ‘freezes’ rent, which means some landlords can’t afford to do repairs or keep renters, and then people get evicted. Then he weaponizes that anger in his favor. The end goal is confiscation. Manipulative and sick."
