Brian Allen (@allenanalysis) ~ Zohran Mamdani didn’t leave City Hall when the cameras did.
Hours after the inauguration, Zohran Mamdani was back at New York City Hall, personally serving hot chocolate to the city events staff breaking down the setup in brutal cold conditions.

Oh no ... "brutal cold conditions" in Yankee Land in January?! Whoda thunk it, eh?
You know ... if lil' Zohran can't handle some chilly temps, then maybe he should move back to his family's luxurious compound in Uganda, eh?
The sad part is that Brian Allen probably read this twice before choosing to hit send anyways. He's the head of an (try not to laugh) independent political newsroom called, wait for it, Allen Analysis, which at the moment boasts 2000 subscribers.
Since there may be Mamdani True Believers reading this, allow us to lay out why this is so very silly.
Grateful Calvin (@shoveitjack) ~ There is so much gaslighting, propaganda, and idiocy at play here, it's worth breaking down.
1. @allenanalysis claims that Mamdani "didn't leave when the cameras did," while showing a clip from a clearly staged and planned photo opp.
2. Not only were the cameras there, but Allen even gives a photo credit to the person who took the video, who is the EDITOR-IN-CHIEF of a political news outlet in New York.
3. Despite this obvious agitprop, this video gets 1.1M views and more than 50K likes, proving that, yes, there are still far too many useful idiots who will buy any tripe they are being sold.
And it goes without saying that Mamdani wasn't "serving" anything. Someone else already prepared and set out the cups of hot chocolate. He's just there to shake hands for the cameras (the cameras that "weren't there," of course).
And that's fine. That's what politicians do. They shake hands. That's not the problem here. The problem is fake "journalists" like Brian Allen peddling lies.
Someone should tell him what happens to journalists, even sycophantic apparatchik ones, under Communist regimes.
But, it'll be a lot funnier when he finds out the hard way.
Lou Perez (@LouPerez) ~ Who drew this moving picture?
Artful snark is the best snark and it makes this whole Twitter thing worth it.
TheMorningSpew2 (@TheMorningSpew2) ~ But, it was mostly hot water - commie style.
And the hits kept on coming.
Jonathan Marks (@marksjo1) ~ Amazing. This man is a different kind of politician. This is not something a politician would do. Stay here for more breathless commentary.
Oh, and a fitting suggestion for Mr. Brian Allen ... since you have crawled so far up Zohran Mamdani's anal cavity, you really need to rename your "news" feed to "Allen ANALysis," bucko.
