Let’s be honest, if he dressed in a bathing suit they’d be on his case for dressing inappropriately for his office.

He should have skinny dipped.
Dicks out for Mamdani
Now, now we have to watch Ms Lindsey's blood pressure!
It is pretty funny how conservative media will sometimes accidentally paint good people as heros by saying things they think are bad but 80% of Americans support. This one is about as stupid as Obama's tan suit.
Fox News always does this, lists out the candidate's position with great points as if they're bad. Some examples:
They might as well do one with Jesus Christ and all his far-left policies!

JUMPED IN THE POOL FULLY DRESSED?
HE'S A MENACE, we the honest tax paying New Yorkers deserve to see him wearing a swimsuit?
What is he hiding that he's doesn't want to public to see???

I think he said that WAS his swim suit. He wears other suits to work

Y'all know that stereotype about how "black people can't swim?" That came about because, back in the day, cities were being forced to racially-integrate their swimming pools and a lot of them spitefully chose to close them instead. (And then the wealthier white people regained access by buying memberships to private pools, possibly attached to their new swim/tennis subdivision they'd just moved to as a result of white flight. The net result is that White Americans are more likely than Black Americans to have the opportunity to learn to swim, to this day.)
Just something to think about in this thread about the New York Post trying to get people mad about a leftist brown person in a swimming pool.
Actually goes back even further.
During slavery being able to cross water was a superpower for escaping slaves. Blood hounds would lose the scent.
If a master saw one slave swimming, everyone would be whipped. Pretty soon, the older slaves would stop any kid who went into the river.
Ok, hold up, dumb question incoming. Is Mamdani considered a POC? Like I know it's arbitrary but I feel like I've been making a categorical mistake now...
I don't get the US American ruleset, but I can at least give you basic facts:
His parents are both of Indian descent. His father was raised in Uganda, his Mother in India. Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda, they moved to South Africa when he was five, and then to the USA when he was seven.
Definitely makes him not white.
Not a dumb question at all. For racists groups in the US, POC is for the most part broadly defined as "not white, unless they're hot". The Petter G meme with the card is pretty much on point.
It's much more nuanced for anyone else.

At press time, editor-in-chief Keith Poole was heard shouting into his phone that he wanted "pictures of Mamdani!" while chomping heavily on a cigar.
Thank, NY Post. You couldn't possibly make him look more fun and relatable or yourselves look more uptight and unpleasant...
Man. I really liked him until he violated dress code rules.
Oh well, guess I have to vote for felon rapist pedophiles now.
This was the actual Tan suit argument for more people than I feel comfortable admitting are part of the human race.
This guys charisma is off the charts man. These images compel me to swim with him, like? It looks like a fuckin Fanta commercial.
True, dude seems to be having fun the whole time while office. Gives me hope for this nation.
I imagine this is what being mayor must be like if you don't waste so much time talking to rich people.

NY Post is constantly grasping for straws trying to find anything negative to say about him.
Let them. Should they ever find anything people will assume they are just crying wolf again and ignore them.
They are being irresponsible with the power of the press. this is a problem that solves itself.

americans get angry when you have a good time and act like a human, especially in a suit--and it's a tailored suit, not some off the rack, ill-fitting embarrassment from the men's warehouse.
but it's ok to shit in your suit on live TV. you can be feeble, and you can mumble , and your words can barely make sense, as long as you project the illusion of a better; gods don't jump in pools, they don't show emotion, definitely not in a suit.
one of the many contradictions of the labyrinthine american value system that only truly makes sense if you're a fucking idiot.
It's not American, it's corporate. No one who isn't suckling on boots actually cares about the "dress code" of jumping into a pool in a tailored suit.
If Trump jumped in a pool, it'd be other people shitting themsleves instead of Trump for once. Because no one expects him to still be able to jump. But then they'd be chortling to themselves on network about how he's so fun and free from the stuffy norms of established politicians.
It's not tricky, it's not some byzantine culture war. They just don't like Mamdani and what he represents politically, so they're saying anything he does is bad.
The fact that conservatives (regressives), who value strength, chose an almost dead, fat, pants-shitting, draft dodging coward as their idol speaks volumes about that ideology and how pathetic it truly is.

See, they actually believe that. That's why people on the right are generally miserable cunts. They don't believe in enjoyment of things outside of enjoying hating on minorities. So when they see others having fun they can't help but seethe.

Oh fuck, not the dress code! The horror.
So Mayor Mamdani gets his Tan Suit event. I consider that a sign of high potential that some rag has to tan-suit him like that.
Jameson sometimes had valid concerns about things like collateral damage. NYPost on the other hand...
New York Post is the collateral damage.
This is almost as tragic and horrific as Obama's tan suit incident. It is a day that will live in infamy.
The Post is a rag. It's best to not take anything they publish seriously.
He took his shoes off, that's all that matters. Dress codes for pools should be "don't be naked"
Omg did he shake off in slow motion too and wink at the camera? Bro is so photogenic.
so the new York post is billionaire owned? sure sounds like it ...
New York native here.
Back in the day, the NY Post was center left paper. Not as smart as the Times or as sleazy as the Daily News. Got purchased by Rupert Murdoch who turned it into a complete rag.
Murdoch would later create Fox News.
He did take his shoes off though.
Also, obligatory Fuck the NYP. This shit's going to continue for years now.
Honestly, it's starting to feel kinda tongue and cheek. All the photos they use are quite flattering. I think it's just rage bait engagement-mining both sides or malicious compliance.
