It seems New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani isn't as universally loved as he wants to be. At the beginning of the month, he was barred from speaking at the funeral of Army Sgt. Angel Sarah Rampersad, who was killed fighting the war in Iran. Mamdani’s supporters said he was respecting the family's wishes not to have politicians speak, despite the fact that Gov. Kathy Hochul and Queens Borough President Donovan Richard both gave remarks.
Earlier this week, Mamdani was booed off the stage at a Staten Island event for National Night Out Against Crime. And today we learned just how thin-skinned Mamdani really is, with the New York Post dubbing him Mayor Zoflake.
That all supports this story that alleges City Hall is running a bot farm on X to boost public support for Mamdani.
Reports out today allege that Mayor @ZohranKMamdani’s own City Hall is running a secret bot farm on X to fake public support for him.

Here’s what that means in plain terms: instead of real New Yorkers liking and sharing his posts, cyber experts say a network of automated… pic.twitter.com/zGgmskHOzb
Dozens of suspected bot accounts on X/Twitter are amplifying content from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his circle, and reportedly can be traced to New York City Hall IP infrastructure, the World Zionist Organization told The Jerusalem Post exclusively.
As part of its activities against the waves of antisemitism online, WZO’s dedicated Department for Combating Antisemitism was presented with data and findings collected by cyber experts specializing in the field.
The information included an analysis of IP addresses and mapping of activity patterns and distribution networks of suspected bot accounts.
WZO’s technological examination of activity on the X network points to dozens, if not hundreds, of accounts with unusual characteristics. The Post independently consulted the cyber experts involved, who said they are “100% sure” the IP addresses could be traced to city hall, although it did not provide evidence establishing who controlled the accounts or whether city officials directed their activity.
No one is surprised by this.
They have also been falsely flagging any posts that put Mamdani in a negative light so that the visibility is low.

Is this where the $53 million for his “office of mass engagement” is going?
Socialism sucks so badly that they have to build a carefully-crafted narrative around how awesome it is and how popular socialists like Mamdani are.
Editor’s Note: New York City is now facing the consequences of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist takeover.
