New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) sparked a wave of criticism from MAGA world on Monday when his administration announced at a press conference that his city-run grocery stores would require IDs.
“How are you going to keep people from taking advantage of that deal, basically? And is there going to be a limit on the number of items that someone can take that are discounted at that level from that essential basket?” a reporter asked Mamdani about the logistics of his free, taxpayer-funded grocery stores.
“So our RFP (Request for Proposal) makes very clear that this is a program for New Yorkers to be able to put food on the table, not a program for people to be able to make a quick buck through reselling. I’m gonna pass it over to our EDC head, Jean Pak, to add some additional details,” Mamdani replied.
A Democrat coming out as a hypocrite on a huge policy issue is nothing new. But the reason the Left can get away with being hypocrites is becasue they simply don't care. After all the standard for being a liberal in 2026 is simply opposition to the other side. So no matter how weird it sounds for liberals for request IDs for one thing and not another, ultimately the more something is popular with the Right, as long as your tribalism kicks in when it comes to opposition, you'll be fine.
