Sliwa Slams comes out of rumors, blame adams for mamdani rise, talks about trum approval possible

EXCLUSIVE: Curtis Sliwa, republican candidate for the Republican town hall of New York, slammed the door of any speech on him abandoning the race and blamed Eric Adams for the rise of the socialist Zohran Mamdani.

The eminent donors explore ways to bring Sliwa to abandon the race to open the appointment of the GOP – Adams being presented to replace it, according to a New York Post report. Former governor Andrew Cuomo, who lost the Democrat primary in Mamdani last week, could also be on the ticket in November.

But Sliwa, a New York for life and founder of the Guardian Angels Crime-Prevention Group, insisted for Fox News Digital that he is the man for work. He also talked about his fractured relationship with President Donald Trump and said he would welcome the president’s approval, if he came.

Zohran Mamdani insisted on several occasions if he condemns the term “Global The Intifada” in the interview with NBC

He said that the city needed a fighter and that he has already risked his life to make the city safer – and has battle scars to prove it. The 71 -year -old man, born in Brooklyn, survived a crowd in 1992 in which he was shot twice in a moving taxi before jumping out of a window.

“The only way to get me out of this race before November 4 is in a coffin, in a pine box,” he said. “”And people know that the Gottis and Gambinos tried this in 1992, and it did not work and it won’t work either. Be ready to see Curtis Sliwa on the republican line on November 4. “”

Sliwa has managed the Guardian Angels since 1979 and said that what separated him from the field was simple: he got into the metros, speaks to people and knows the neighborhoods by heart.

“I am the only real New York experienced. Andrew Cuomo has not lived in the city since 1990. Mamdani goes and goes to Uganda. Eric Adams? He lives in Fort Lee,” said Sliwa in an excavation at Adams with a property in New Jersey. “As it goes into the metro, he’s going to New York. It is our veins and our arteries. None of these other guys are in the system. I live there.”

Political experts consider Sliwa’s electoral offer as a long -term shot. He ran against Adams in the 2021 elections and lost 66.1% to 27.4%. But the tokens could finally fall Sliwa in November if the vote on the left and the center are divided – the voters who reappear on the agenda of Mamdani and both Adams and the former Cuomo siphoning of democratic votes with independent tracks.

“Oh, I don’t care how many candidates are in the race. Listen, we would not be in this situation, people cannot even know who is Zohan Mamdani if ​​Eric Adams had been an elected mayor who succeeds … The Republicans do not trust him, the Democrats do not want it … He is corrupt.”

Adams’ mandate was spoiled by accusations of federal corruption brought within the framework of the Biden administration, including accusations of wire fraud and the solicitation of the campaign contributions of foreign nationals. Adams denied the charges, which were then abandoned by the Trump administration.

Adams spokesperson Kayla Mamelak Altus, the mayor’s characterization by Sliwa, telling Fox News Digital Sliwa, becomes “more detached from reality every day and nothing he says should be taken seriously”.

In the interview, Sliwa has also targeted Mamdani’s socialist policies, which include a freeze on the city level, a free public bus service and higher property taxes in rich neighborhoods – all the ideas that, according to criticism, have already set the budgets and turned to Chicago under the mayor Brandon Johnson.

“Go to Chicago and see the results of what a socialist mayor will not be able to do for you,” said Sliwa. “There are a lot of promises, but there is no delivery.” The Mamdani campaign did not respond to a request for comments.

Sliwa has said that his campaign focuses on public security and the affordability of housing, kissing the slogan “improve, not moving”, which draws from unhappy voters who could seek to join the exodus of people fleeing the city in recent years.

He also believes that his policy without killing for the shelters of the city of the city will bring in moderate democrats, voters, young generations and animal defenders who would generally not support a republican candidate. Sliwa is known for his deep love for cats, often emphasizing his devotion to the rescue and the care of the wanders.

Sliwa laughed at the idea that the influence of Mamdani’s social media could be a decisive factor, arguing that the race will be won by connecting with people in the field. The Assembly has nearly 2 million followers on Instagram, compared to 66,000 from Sliwa, while the socialist candidate has more than 910,000 subscribers on Tiktok compared to the 183,000 of Sliwa.

“I already know how to call on young people,” said Sliwa, noting that he has been recruiting young people for decades to lead the Guardian Angels. “My generation of baby-boomers talks about the Z generation as if they were lazy or stupid … They could not be more false. It just pushes them in the Mamdani camp.”

Trump approval could also change dynamism in favor of Sliwa. Although he called his relationship with the president a “love -hate”, Trump’s rallies in the Bronx and Madison Square Garden last year suggest a changing political tide in the city – and a joint appearance with Sliwa could prove a change of game.

“I’m not talking to President Trump on the phone. I didn’t go to Mar-A-Lago or went to Washington,” said Sliwa. “He seems to speak to Eric Adams. Listen, he saved him from going to prison, I understand that. In the last elections, I voted for him and I encouraged people to vote for him.”

But Sliwa said it was open to receiving Trump’s support, even if the race was not on the president’s radar.

“Well, if it comes, it’s good. If it doesn’t come, remember that I ran the last time, I was not approved by President Trump,” said Sliwa. “(Trump) did not approve Eric Adams. He stayed outside the race. He has enough problems to face – Ukraine, Russia, Iran, obviously his beautiful bill and all the rest he has on his plate which has a geopolitical significance. Which is the next mayor of New York should be the last on his priority list.”

Until now, Sliwa’s campaign has missed a lot of visibility, given to him by winning the appointment of the undisputed GOP. But he said the victory unlocks vital counterpart funds that will kill his campaign in the general elections.

“So now, I have the resources. I am on the streets and the only place that Zohan Mamdani is not, nor any of the other candidates. I live in the metros and it is the crucible for all the people in New York.”

“The working class in blue collar, hipsters, millennials, generation Z and people who are baby boomers. And if you are not in the metro, which is an excellent discussion group, you are not dealing with regular ordinary people, because as it goes in metros, then goes to New York.”

“These are our veins and our arteries.”
