Mamdani’s debate lies, dodges and fumbles — signs of disaster ahead for NYC By Post Editorial Board Published Oct. 17, 2025, Zohran Mamdani on Thursday night treated New Yorkers to a preview of what they can expect if he wins: Outright lies, deflection from direct questions and fantasy economics. Confronted about his long-stated belief that prostitution should be legal, Mamdani shook his head and said it was all lies — he never said that. Hah! He said it on the floor of the state Assembly while voting “Yes” on a bill to legalize loitering for the purpose of prostitution: “While this bill does not decriminalize sex work,” Mamdani proclaimed Feb. 2, 2021, “I would like to register my support for such legislation, my eagerness for that debate and for my fundamental belief that sex work is work” (emphasis ours). https://nypost.com/2025/10/17/opinion/mamdanis-debate-lies-dodges-and-fumbles-signs-of-disaster-ahead-for-nyc/
