MAGA and Christian nationalist radio host and podcaster Eric Metaxas, who is based in New York, was apparently fired up by the most recent mayoral candidates’ debate. “Is there any question that Curtis Sliwa was created by God to be mayor of New York City?” Metaxas wrote in an email to supporters on Friday afternoon.
Praising Sliwa as “a man of deep goodness and integrity,” Metaxas wrote, “Rudy Giuliani, the greatest mayor in NYC history, endorses him, so need I say more? There is no doubt that Curtis Sliwa should be New York City’s next mayor.”
There is more than a little doubt that Sliwa will be the city’s next mayor.
As early voting began in New York City on Saturday, Sliwa was polling in third place, far behind front-runner Zorhan Mamdani, the Democratic nominee, and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is running as an independent.
“Meanwhile,” Metaxas wrote without explanation, Mamdani “has set a new standard for evil, surpassing even Andrew Cuomo’s dark legacy.”
Mamdani, a Muslim who describes himself as a democratic socialist, has been smeared and vilified by President Donald Trump and other Republicans as a “communist” and “jihadist.”
Metaxas urged people to read an article posted Oct. 24 by John Zmirak, senior editor of the religious-right outlet The Stream. Zmirak called New York City “’Great Replacement’ Central.”
“Almost half the city was born overseas, mostly in Third World countries whose political cultures are starkly incompatible with America’s founding, ideals, or culture,” Zmirak wrote, rounding up significantly from a statistic he cites that 38 percent of the city’s population is foreign born . “These people come from zero-sum societies where gaining control of the State is the only road to safety or even survival, and the winners of elections use the government to pillage or even imprison the losers.”
“Import a Third World electorate, get a Third World election,” Zmirak concluded.
Zmirak cited figures from Patriot Polling claiming that Cuomo had a single-digit lead among American-born New Yorkers while Mamdani is the overwhelming choice of foreign-born New Yorkers. Patriot Polling, started a few years ago by two teenagers in Pennsylvania, released a poll in January 2025 claiming that residents of Greenland supported becoming part of the U.S.by a 20 point margin. A poll commissioned by newspapers in Denmark and Greenland that month found that 85 percent of Greenlanders did not want to become part of the U.S.
People For the American Way has endorsed Mamdani.
