Mamdani ‘Lied During His Campaign and Everybody Believed Him,’ Critics Say as Backlash Grows Over New York Property Tax Plan

“Critics online are accusing New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani of walking back key campaign promises after he proposed a property tax increase to help close looming budget gaps.

Among the many political commentators criticizing the mayor on TikTok, @braedensorbo argued that Mamdani had campaigned on pledges like freezing rent, offering free buses, and expanding childcare, only to later signal that the city may need to raise property taxes by 10% and rely on reserve funds to stay financially stable. The creator claimed this amounted to voters being “played like a fiddle” and that the mayor had essentially “lied during his campaign and everybody believed him.””
