Mamdani Is Erasing Italians From New York — Former Mob Boss Responds

from Sit Down with Michael Franzese · host Michael Franzese

Mamdani put out a map of New York's immigrant neighborhoods for the whole world to see — thirty of them. And he left MY people off of it. Little Italy. The Greeks. The Jewish neighborhoods. The Irish. Then he tells us it was an "accident." People — I got a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. And that's not all he did. After 55 years, he denied the Italian-American Civil Rights League the license to celebrate Columbus Day. The league Joe Colombo started. My father was part of that fight. I take this PERSONALLY. We built the subways. We built the bridges. We built that city. And this clown wants to erase us from it? Not on my watch. In this one I get into all of it — the map, the permit, the socialism scam they're running on all of you, and what we would've done about a guy like this back in the day.
