I have a million reasons to prefer Curtis Sliwa for mayor of New York.
It’s most especially because I went to Guardian Angel School in Manhattan during the ’80s, the height of the Guardian Angels vigilante patrol. People made fun of you for working in a gas station (our uniform patches read: “GAS”) or for missing your red beret.
And I’ve heard no one rant like I do about Cuomo telling pro-life Catholics to leave the state like Sliwa did in a recent interview:
Face it: If all of politics is a reality TV show, Sliwa would be the more entertaining experience — though Cuomo wins for most entertaining/New York campaign commercial. Watch here:
This is the wildest attack ad I’ve ever seen in politics. Andrew Cuomo pulling out all the stops. pic.twitter.com/rPQ77Z3bE7

John Podhoretz, by the way, has the best explanation for Zohran Mamdani’s popularity. It’s all about Hamilton:
Theory: Mamdani benefited in some inchoate way all year because he’s Lin Manuel Miranda’s doppelganger and EVERYBODY in New York loves Lin.

Andrew Cuomo should drop out and everyone should take a week off to campaign for Sliwa for mayor. And I mean everyone. New York is exporting abortion. Come and be a campaign tourist in New York City for the sake of America. And the capital of the world.
