Rep. Earl “Buddy” Carter (R-Ga.) introduced legislation on Friday using the family name of New York City mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani, an anti-Israel, self-declared socialist, as an acronym.
The Moving American Money Distant from Anti-National Interests (MAMDANI) Act would “restrict the flow of federal taxpayer dollars to New York City while Zohran Mamdani, a communist, is mayor,” the congressman said.
“In the United States of America, a nation built on freedom, taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund communism and antisemitism,” he stated. “Georgians want nothing to do with Mamdani’s radical beliefs, and their hard-earned money should not be wasted on programs that will bankrupt the financial capital of the world.”
“If New Yorkers want communism, we should let them have their wish and not artificially prop them up with our successful capitalist system,” he added. “Any New Yorker with common sense is welcome to move to the great, free state of Georgia.”
The bill, H.R.5937, was referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the House Committee on Appropriations. There weren’t any cosponsors listed at press time.
