We admit it: It\u2019s just delicious to see so many \u201ccommie cosplayers\u201d exposed as frauds \u2014 and the hits keep coming.<\/p>\n

Read more Florida female pilot who made emergency landing in Atlantic Ocean says she\u2019s \u2018incredibly fortunate\u2019 to swim away from crash<\/a><\/p>\n

It turns out DSA-NYC co-chair Gustavo Gordillo\u00a0not only has his parents paying for massive renovations of the $1.5 million home they bought for him and his brother in Bed-Stuy, he\u2019s also using non-union <\/em>labor for the work \u2014 and the local community board opposed the re-do plan as creating a structure out of whack with the block, with experts saying the planned \u201cbeach house\u201d clashes with the historic district\u2019s vibe.<\/p>\n

Then again, Gordillo got suspended from the IBEW membership that he\u2019s bragged about \u2014 reportedly because he couldn\u2019t be bothered to actually do the work of apprenticeship.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, he allegedly stiffed his Crown Heights landlord on three months of rent for the place he\u2019d been staying in during the Bed-Stuy rebuild.<\/p>\n

And of course equally-privileged Morris Katz, the lefty-loving campaign consultant for Mayor Zohran Mamdani and former Maine candidate Graham Platner, also reportedly stiffed his<\/em> landlord of $14,000 as he left the Williamsburg pad unit stuffed with trash when he vacated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you come from a rich family, you don\u2019t have your priorities in order,\u201d\u00a0that building\u2019s super, Felix Barbosa, told The Post.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t think that\u2019s true for all<\/em> children from wealthy families, but it does seem to apply to a lot of them who turn into ultra-lefties.<\/p>\n

Mamdani ally Tracy Rosenthal, who grew up in her Grammy-winning dad\u2019s posh Manhattan crib, actually brags of bankrupting her landlord\u00a0with a years-long rent strike.<\/p>\n

That African immigrant lost the building to foreclosure, amid a sad saga that for a while had the city poised to take control.<\/p>\n

That would\u2019ve happened under a program Mamdani\u2019s now boosting that can hand management over to one of the nonprofits that socialist theorizers like Cea Weaver (yet another child of the elite, though not so far as we know a deadbeat) imagine are the highway to housing heaven.<\/p>\n

All this epic, sanctimonious<\/em> selfishness is simply damning for a crowd that claims to be crusading on behalf of the underprivileged: It\u2019s far worse than mere hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

These seriously twisted menaces to society actually claim they\u2019ve got the<\/em> moral vision to remake it; what a wonderful crew to be running City Hall. \u00a0<\/p>\n
