LISTEN: Mamdani’s ‘Mapgate’ Is a Tempest in a Teapot

Some people are always going to have a bad-faith reaction to this mayor… Instead of “look at this online map that he made an error on,” it’s “he’s a communist who wants to take over our city, and this is just the beginning.”

Mayor Mamdani this week blamed the previous administration for a map of immigrant enclaves that didn’t include Little Italy and said the city would include it next time. 

Hosts Katie Honan and Harry Siegel discuss the mostly bad-faith criticism of the map, the eternal arguments about which New Yorkers are represented and which are neglected, how his administration set itself up to get attacked here, and much more.
