Everyone Thinks He’s the Next Mamdani Man: the Progressive Feeding Frenzy Is On

Oh, golly. 

You know it had to happen. You knew it was going to happen.

Once one Commie Socialist wins something, everyone rushes in to be the next Wunderkind, the next ‘big thing,’  the next ‘that guy.‘

It happened when AOC won, but there aren’t many of the New York squad that followed her around anymore. Like the extinquished career of Jamal ‘The Fireman’ Bowman, some constituents actually require performance and accountability from their representative in Congress. As Bowman found out when booted after two short, inglorious House terms, being a blithering idiot on top of being incapable of any measurable positive net gain for the folks in his district.

(But how ’bout it New York? He’s rumored to be on Mamdani Man’s short list for New York City School Chancellor…BWAHahahahaha! Mental revolutionary light-weights of a feather flock together.)

But flashy victories, especially improbable ones, lead big dreamers to set their sights on, ‘if he did it, of course it could be me, too,’ which is what’s happening now in the city.

A delightful young Socialist with big dreams and all the progressive boxes checked – even more so than Mamdani Man (seriously!!) – is setting his sights on knocking the muy grande sombrero off of Hakeem Jeffries’ tiny pinhead.

AY DIOS MIO

I am not even going to write a first paragraph about him. No, sir.

I am going to let this Xweet introduce him, because the first sentence is just so unintentionally hilarious, you will bust out reading it like I did – guaranteed.

🚨Meet Chi Ossé — the queer Buddhist socialist NYC councilman reportedly planning to primary Hakeem Jeffries.

Hates Israel and Jews like a mofo.

Hasan Piker offered Chi Ossé a soda on his stream recently, but he needed to ask—“is Dr. Pepper off the BDS list?”

NYC Councilman Chi Ossé under fire for alleged anti-Italian remark says he was sent racist letter

He made his name as a big BLM marcher/organizer/supporter, and he’s generally not hep on white guys.

…Ossé has made frequent controversial remarks about white people, including during the Council’s speaker election, when he declared that a “cis white man” should not be considered for the job.

He has also chided the “incredibly white animals rights movement,” and criticized the New York Times for endorsing too many white men for Congress.

WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE

It turns out there is a bit of a problem in this announced quest for Hakeem Jeffries’ seat, though, and the objections are coming from the most unlikely quarter – from the latest Communist schweetheart himself – none other than Zohran Mamdani.

Ossé was instrumental in the Mamdani campaign. Besides stumping for him, according to sources, Ossé is the social media-savvy guru who turned Mamdani onto how to become a video star to begin with.

Mamdani is now apparently stoking some hard feelings because he’s very involved in making sure Ossé doesn’t run against Jeffries. Feelings have become so heated over the discouragement that Ossé was, for all of his help during the Zohran’s run for office, disinvited from the victory celebrations.

Personally, I think Ossé should be glad he saved himself the $13 on crappy Bud Lights, but I guess his nose is really out of joint.

Mamdani Man doesn’t want his buddy upsetting the ‘fragile’ truce he has with the more mainstream Dems he was able to bamboozle into endorsing him. And who, as mayor of the largest city in the country, may very well need to pull him out of a jam sometime in the near future.

…Lefty Gen-Z City Councilman Chi Osse is preparing to challenge Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries in the US House next year — against the explicit objections of mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, The Post has learned.

“He said he wants to strike when the iron is hot,” one insider said of the TikTok pol. 

The source said that Mamdani had told Osse that he didn’t want him to challenge Jeffries in the primary, believing it would disrupt the fragile peace between the far-left of the party and moderates.

Mamdani worked for months to woo the establishment of the party to unite ahead of his mayoralship. 

The second source confirmed Osse has already started hiring his staff to challenge the Brooklyn Democrat.

The falling-out between Osse and Mamdani — two social-media-savvy pols — even kept Osse from attending the victory party follow the mayor-elect’s historic win last Tuesday night.

Ooooh! I love it when they fight.

For his part, the New York Times says Jeffries hasn’t had to worry about a competitive race since 2012.

…Mr. Mamdani on Monday sidestepped questions about Mr. Ossé, saying he was solely focused on preparing for his inauguration and would keep his “opinions just to the work of the transition.” Mr. Ossé’s plans to challenge Mr. Jeffries were first reported by The New York Post.

Justin Chermol, a spokesman for Mr. Jeffries, said he “is focused on addressing the crushing Republican health care crisis, combating Donald Trump’s scheme to gerrymander congressional maps and leading the effort to take back the House of Representatives in 2026.”

And a month ago – early shutdown – in a theoretical match-up, Hakeem was wearing a 50-point-ahead gold-flecked sombrero and most of those folks had zero clue who the queer Buddhist was.

YAY!! Hakeem Jeffries is the best!

Now we’ve gone 40 days into a Democrat engineered government shutdown, Hakeem’s looked like a doofus through the entire thing, and polling will be interesting to see of he’s managed to hang on to the affections of his formerly loyal constituents.

Particularly when they have a chance to vote for the next big Socialist thing.

In a skirt.

Ooooh! I love it when they fight.
