Rapaport is not alone in criticizing Mamdani, with Debra Messing making extreme comments directed at Mamdani’s politics and his religion in which she called Mamdani ‘an actual communist jihadist’ and ‘a literal Karl Marx-quoting, America-hating jihadist’.

Mamdani has previously described himself as a ‘democratic socialist’ and was open about his Muslim faith throughout his campaign.

In his inaugural speech, Mamdani said: “I stand alongside over one million New Yorkers who voted for this day nearly two months ago, and I stand just as resolutely alongside those who did not.

“I know there are some who view this administration with distrust or disdain, or who see politics as permanently broken.

“And while only action can change minds, I promise you this: if you are a New Yorker, I am your Mayor.

“Regardless of whether we agree, I will protect you, celebrate with you, mourn alongside you, and never, not for a second, hide from you.”Featured Image Credit: John Nacion/Variety via Getty Images/Spencer Platt/Getty Images
