Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team selections are already igniting controversy as he appoints hundreds of advisors tied to criminal histories, radical activism, and openly antisemitic rhetoric. Among the most troubling picks is Mysonne Linen, a convicted felon who served prison time for violent armed robberies, now tapped to advise on the very criminal justice system he once violated. Other appointees include figures who advocate for defunding or abolishing police, promote Marxist ideologies, and justify or rationalize Hamas violence in the wake of the October 7 massacre in Israel. These appointments reveal a governing philosophy that appears to prize ideological alignment over public safety, accountability, or moral clarity.

Several of Mamdani’s key appointees have documented records of anti-Israel extremism and antisemitic messaging, including individuals tied to the BDS movement and those who framed Hamas terrorism as justified “resistance.” Others have celebrated unrest, demonized law enforcement, or promoted revolutionary rhetoric rooted in racial grievance ideology. For Watchers and Warriors, this is not just local politics—it is another marker of the accelerating moral inversion warned about in Isaiah 5:20, where evil is called good and good is called evil. The reshaping of civic leadership through radical ideologues reflects a broader pattern of societal destabilization paving the way for increased lawlessness, deception, and authoritarian control in the last days.
