Democrat socialist Zohran Mamdani as a candidate for New York City mayor was loved by far-left residents of East Village. They gave him a 40-point election vote margin.
But actually as mayor, doing the job for a few months?
They’re suing him.
And social media has noticed the abrupt reversal.

A report at Fox News cited how his supporters “turn on him.”
Their lawsuit follows his decision to install a shelter operation in their neighborhood.
“News of the lawsuit has prompted conservative mockery online, with figures like Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, noting the irony of Mamdani’s supporters turning on the fruits of his administration. ‘Oops,’ Sen. Ted Cruz said in a post to X.”
Michael Henry, a former New York attorney general candidate, said, “No one is more ‘not in my backyard’ than white progressives. This community voted for Mamdani in a landslide but don’t want to live with the consequences,” the report said.
Election District 45, the area that includes East Village, voted for Mamdani in a 70.1% victory over independent Andrew Cuomo, who got just 26.0% of the vote, Fox confirmed.
But now residents have joined with an organization called VOICE to sue over Mandani’s plans to use a building there to house the homeless.
They claim the city failed to follow proper environmental and legal guidelines.
“It challenges the city’s hastily made and legally invalid decision to locate a new citywide homeless adult male intake center at 8 East 3rd Street without following any of the legal requirements that must precede such a significant and consequential decision,” the lawsuit charges.
Mamdani’s office announced the scheme in response to announced plans to vacate another shelter.
