Rightwing critics blame Mamdani as New York snow fails to melt
Source: The Guardian
It snowed two weeks ago in New York. Since then, the temperature has barely risen above freezing a temperature science naturally dictates is necessary to melt snow and ice.
But science isnt enough for some US political critics, however, who have instead blamed Zohran Mamdani, New Yorks new socialist mayor, for the snow not having melted and still clogging up some of the citys streets.
The New York Post, the rightwing tabloid and a frequent Mamdani critic, has led the charge. This week the newspaper claimed that slushy streets were ruining travel for everyone.
New Yorkers are feeling left out in the cold more than a week after fierce Winter Storm Fern dumped over a foot of snow on the city and left behind iceberg-sized snow piles blocking roadways, bike lanes, sidewalks and parking spots, the Post said.

The stupidity here, to actually blame Zohran, is off the charts. No one believes it, so why would anyone say it? Unless they are extremely toopid, themselves. That might very well be the answer.
