Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) claims that New York City will be brought “all the way down” if democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani becomes the city’s first Muslim mayor.
The Alabama Republican, while appearing on Fox Business’ “Kudlow” on Monday, told host Larry Kudlow that he isn’t ready for a Muslim to be mayor of the most populous city in the United States.
“We oughta pack him up and send him home,” Tuberville added about Mamdani.
Democratic nominee Mamdani is currently leading New York City’s mayoral race at 43.2%, with independent candidate Andrew Cuomo in second place at 28.9% and Republican Curtis Sliwa in third place at 19.4%, according to a new poll.
“My God, we do not need that anywhere in this country, especially in New York,” Tuberville continued in speaking about Mamdani. “You know, it’s ― what a great city that was. But he’s gonna manage to bring it all the way down.”
