Zohran Mamdani wants to defund the police. Considering some of the people around him, it’s no wonder that he does.
In 2021, Mamdani bid farewell to Matthew Thomas, a Democratic Socialists of America member who served as his Communications Director.
Mamdani tweeted, “He built this account, wrote policy & press releases, scripted + shot 🎥, & was a big part of why we won.”
The tweet showed Thomas in a mask standing in front of posters of Bernie, AOC and Mamdani.
Thomas however had quite a history.
Matthew Thomas, a one-time official of the Queens branch of the Democrat Socialists of America, who remains a card-carrying member of the left-wing group, was busted in 2014 after soliciting a 16-year-old boy for a gay-sex threesome with Daniel Simmons, a former Deputy Attorney General in Delaware, according to local press reports at the time.
Simmons, 35, was a top deputy to Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, President Biden’s son and one-time political heir who died of brain cancer in 2015.
Thomas, 32, was charged with two counts of sexual solicitation of a child and conspiracy but managed to escape rape charges because Delaware law permits sex with 16-year-olds if you are under the age of 30, Delaware Online reported.
Thomas pleaded guilty to second-degree conspiracy in 2015 and was sentenced to three months behind bars.
Mamdani, the DSA and a lot of leftists were good with this. Thomas got hired not despite his record, but because of it. Ask yourself why.
