<p style="font-weight: 400;">With a strong possibility that New York City might elect anti-police candidate Zohran Mamdani as mayor, Florida GOP Governor Ron DeSantis made a pitch directly to NYPD officers, asking them, “Do you want to go out there and risk your life knowing that the mayor hates you?”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2020, Mamdani <a href="https://news.meaww.com/zohran-mamdani-slammed-as-old-defund-police-stance-resurfaces-after-ny-cop-killed-in-manhattan-shooting?utm_source=chatgpt.com">wrote</a> on social media, &#8220;No, we want to defund the police,&#8221; &#8220;Queer liberation means defund the police,&#8221; and accused the NYPD of being &#8220;racist, anti-queer &amp; a major threat to public safety.&#8221; He later wrote, &#8220;There is no negotiating with an institution this wicked and corrupt. Defund it. Dismantle it. End the cycle of violence.&#8221; In 2023, he declared that the “boot of the NYPD is on your neck.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“If he’s elected, I think it’ll be an example of voters of New York City committing an act of ballistic podiatry because it is going to come back and bite the city,” DeSantis told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum. “He is so far Left and he mixes his leftism with Islamism. He’s going to make the (former NYC Democratic Mayor Bill) de Blasio years look like the golden age.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And I can tell you, in Florida we’re affected by this, just with the law enforcement alone,” he continued. “If you’re working in NYPD, do you want to go out there and risk your life knowing that the mayor hates you? No, a lot of them are not going to want to do that, and in Florida, we’ve established a $5,000 recruitment bonus. So if you are somebody that doesn’t want to serve under that guy as mayor, you come to Florida, any state or local law-enforcement agency, you get $5000 right at the top.”</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I will tell you: If you say you’re going to disband the NYPD, if you put the criminals back on the street, if you engage in far-Left policies that would make George Soros blush, people do respond to that,” DeSantis said of the possibility that New Yorkers may leave the city if Mamdani is elected. “And of all the people that have migrated to Florida since I’ve been governor, I would say the number one reason they’ve left places — like New York City under De Blasio, like they’ve left Chicago under this mayor and the previous mayor, like leaving San Francisco and Los Angeles — is public safety. Those leftist politicians turn their backs on the police, turn their backs on the rule of law, and then the citizens were the ones that paid the price.”</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“And I will tell you the disproportionate impact on those far-Left policies that do help the criminal element is actually not even the wealthy people — though they’re affected to a certain extent — it’s the working class people; it’s the middle class. Those are the folks that get affected the most. I do think that he will spark migration out of the city, particularly if he follows through on his far-left, anti-law enforcement policies,” he concluded.</p>
