As we told you over the weekend, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that he was asking for people to sign up to work as snow shovelers while a blizzard was approaching the area.
There are now two facepalm-inducing aspects to this story.
The first is that Mamdani made it clear that those wishing to work as snow shovelers (who will now be paid $30 per hour) would need multiple forms of identification in order to get paid for that job. When it comes to voting, however, Mamdani is among those on the Left who believe that's a horrible, racist and sexist requirement.
But, but, but ... will they get free bus rides to and from their designated shoveling site???
Now for the second aspect ...
Mamdani's answer after being questioned about his "ID to shovel snow" hypocrisy allegations is just *chef's kiss* special. Watch:
RNC Research (@RNCResearch) ~ Zohran Mamdani defending requiring ID to shovel snow but not to vote: “Here in New York City we follow the law and it’s federal law to require certain forms of identification…”
You can’t make this up!

AND, it also shows just how far into the Marxist tank that serial bootlicker Jake Tapper is that he doesn't even crack a smile when hearing this ridiculously hilarious response from the little NYC Communist who pretty much DESPISES all federal law while Trump is in The White House.
"Here in New York City we follow the law, and it's federal law to require" identification to be paid to work.
Yeah, well immigration laws are also federal, but Mamdani has no problem acting defiant in the face of those regs.

Just like The Bronx Valley Girl ... these pathetic Marxists are their very own worst enemies. Let them blather on.
Pineconecoffee (@Pineconeco58393) ~ Selective following ... how about being a “sanctuary city”??? That's not following federal law.
Being a leftist like Mamdani means never having to be able to reconcile your whacko positions.
