New York City's incoming mayor has made a choice that's got people talking—and not in a good way. Zohran Mamdani's picked Mysonne Linen, a rapper who did seven years in prison for armed robbery, to advise him on criminal justice. The appointment is raising eyebrows across the city.
The decision to elevate a figure convicted of violently targeting taxi drivers stands in stark contrast to Mamdani's campaign rhetoric, which frequently championed cabbies as the city's 'unsung heroes' and central to his working-class coalition.
