Actor Michael Rapaport blasted Democratic New York City mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani for dining at a pricey restaurant despite claiming to be a “working class” citizen.
In a post shared Tuesday on X, Rapaport called Mamdani out, slamming him for contradicting what he preaches to the public.
“How’s a so-called “working class” mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC? 🍣💰,” the actor wrote.

“Who’s paying for that toro, ‘Zoron the Moron’?” he wrote.
The actor tore into Mamdani for preaching about the working class while seemingly enjoying luxuries that are well beyond the average working class person’s reach.
“You ain’t working class — you’re fraud class,” he quipped.

The well-known restaurant boasts hot pot dishes priced at $93 and a seasonal tasting dinner priced at $145, according to their website.
Rapaport’s scathing post was shared just seven months after Mamdani shared a photo of himself eating on the subway, a sharp contrast to the fancy restaurant mentioned in Rapaport’s post. (RELATED: Socialist Mamdani Hits Campaign Trail At Terror-Linked Imam’s Mosque)
