'Zohran the moron is the most divisive mayor in the history of this city': Michael Rapaport rips NYC Mayor Mamdani at Jewish gathering outside Gracie Mansion

From the Newshound archive · first published 19 September 2026.

Actor Michael Rapaport called Mayor Zohran Mamdani "a two-bit con man" and accused his wife of antisemitism and racism at a Jewish schools demonstration outside Gracie Mansion on Friday. Rapaport said he is "absolutely considering" running for mayor in 2029. Mamdani's City Hall is separately facing two lawsuits over its stonewalling of public records requests, with a state judge this week ordering the mayor to hand over communications with the Rent Guidelines Board.
