Mamdani cartoon was over the line
DEAR EDITOR:
The “Gone Mad” political cartoon was quite offensive on several levels.
Besides the intended racist undertones, there is the accepted understanding that since his endorsed candidate lost, Trump wishes the millions of Americans in New York will just “Drop Dead.”
Probably the most insulting aspect, though, is the typical Republican response of resulting to name-calling when things don’t go their way. (“Idiots Elect Mamdani Mayor”)
Mamdani ran his campaign on lowering the cost of living and even if he fails to do so, that just makes him like Trump. At least Mamdani will probably TRY to lower costs and not try to raise costs as Trump has done.
