Mamdani Backs Squatters’ Rights in Video Demonizing 'Billionaire' Jewish 'Slumlord'

A new 13-minute video released by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani backs the idea that property should be controlled by people who occupy it, not those who own it. "In the end a home is not defined by a deed or a lease but by those who live in it," the narrator says at the conclusion of the video. The video extensively features Cea Weaver, the director of the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants. Weaver has a track record of comments calling for an end to private property rights.
