NEW YORK (PIX11) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams took jabs at Mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani in a political cartoon posted on his X account Saturday evening.
The political cartoon has been seen by thousands of social media users, according to the post.
“lol… is this for real?” posted one social media user.
“Agreed, this is why we need Cuomo,” wrote another social media user.
The cartoon shows a road with two options. One side has a sunny house, while the other side features a dark house. The boy in the middle represents New Yorkers, as depicted in the cartoon.
On the right side, there is a depiction of a house shrouded in darkness, set against a cloudy sky with lightning. The words “socialism,” “crime,” “false promises,” and “Zohran Mamdani” are displayed prominently. This imagery seemingly reflects Mamdani’s political stance as a Democratic Socialist.
On the left, a house is depicted in the sun, with rays of light coming out behind it. It reads “safety, security, a better future.” Eric Adams’ name is displayed prominently.
“The choice is clear. Safety and affordability from a proven leader, not false promises and dangerous policies from someone with no real experience,” reads the social media post.
Mamdani is favored to be the next mayor of New York City, according to recent polls.
PIX11 News reached out to the Mayor’s office and Mamdani’s campaign for comment, but they were not immediatley available to comment.
