DeSantis Warns NYPD: Don’t Risk Your Life for a Mayor Who Despises You

RNN Staff

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is sounding the alarm over the future of New York City’s police force if far-left radical Zohran Mamdani is elected mayor — and he’s offering NYPD officers a way out.

“Do you want to go out there and risk your life knowing that the mayor hates you?” DeSantis asked bluntly during an appearance on Fox News with Martha MacCallum.

Mamdani, a Democratic Socialist state assemblyman, has made his anti-police stance abundantly clear over the years. In 2020, he called for the NYPD to be “defunded” and “dismantled,” accused officers of being “racist” and “anti-queer,” and labeled the department a “major threat to public safety.” In 2023, he doubled down, claiming “the boot of the NYPD is on your neck.”

Now, with Mamdani leading in the polls for the upcoming mayoral election, DeSantis is warning cops and voters alike: brace for disaster.

“If he’s elected, I think it’ll be an example of voters of New York City committing an act of ballistic podiatry — because it is going to come back and bite the city,” DeSantis said. “He is so far Left and he mixes his leftism with Islamism. He’s going to make the de Blasio years look like the golden age.”

DeSantis pointed out that the consequences wouldn’t stop at city borders. The Florida governor noted his state has already seen a surge in law enforcement recruitment from deep-blue cities where woke policies have demoralized officers and endangered the public.

“In Florida, we’ve established a $5,000 recruitment bonus. So if you are somebody that doesn’t want to serve under that guy as mayor, you come to Florida,” he said. “Any state or local law-enforcement agency — you get $5,000 right at the top.”

The governor emphasized that the collapse of law and order under leftist leadership has driven a national migration pattern — with Florida as one of the primary beneficiaries.

“Of all the people that have migrated to Florida since I’ve been governor, I would say the number one reason they’ve left places — like New York City under de Blasio, like Chicago under Lightfoot and Johnson, like San Francisco — is public safety,” DeSantis said. “Those leftist politicians turn their backs on the police, turn their backs on the rule of law, and then the citizens were the ones that paid the price.”

And it’s not the wealthy fleeing the crime and chaos, he added. It’s working-class Americans who suffer the most when criminals roam free and police are handcuffed by anti-cop radicals.

“I do think that he will spark migration out of the city,” DeSantis warned, “particularly if he follows through on his far-left, anti-law enforcement policies.”

As New York City prepares to vote, DeSantis is making his message clear: Mamdani’s anti-police extremism isn’t just dangerous. It’s a roadmap to ruin.
