Zohran Mamdani, the pro-communist darling and current frontrunner for New York City mayor, just went viral—and not for his policies. At a Men’s Day event in Brooklyn, the 33-year-old couldn’t manage a single unassisted rep on a 135-pound bench press. Yes, that’s the same weight high school freshmen knock out in gym class. Instead, Mamdani had to be rescued by a spotter, grinding out two assisted reps that looked more like CPR than a workout.
From Candidate to “Mamscrawny”
It didn’t take long for the nickname “Mamscrawny” to stick. One of his rivals coined it on the spot, and the internet ran with it like Mamdani running away from responsibility. In politics, optics matter—and nothing screams “I’m not ready to carry the weight of this city” like failing to carry the literal weight of a barbell.
Eric Adams Shows Him Up
Current Mayor Eric Adams wasted no time seizing the moment. Adams, who is 64, strolled in, slapped on the same barbell, and pumped out reps like he was auditioning for a Bowflex commercial. His caption on X was brutal: “64 vs 33. A lifetime of hard work vs. a silver spoon. The results speak for themselves. The weight of the job is too heavy for ‘Mamscrawny.’ The only thing he can lift is your taxes.” Ouch. That one stung worse than Mamdani’s sore arms.
Cuomo Gets His Punch In
Not to be left out, Andrew Cuomo—who’s running an independent campaign after losing to Mamdani in the Democratic primary—threw his own jab. “This guy can’t bench his own body weight, let alone carry the weight of leading the most important city in the world,” Cuomo posted. When Andrew Cuomo is making sense, you know the world has truly turned upside down.
Symbol of Socialist Weakness
The symbolism writes itself. Socialism always sounds tough in speeches—tax the rich, free this, free that—but when reality hits, it collapses under pressure. Mamdani couldn’t handle 135 pounds; how’s he going to handle New York City’s crime, housing crisis, and budget black hole? “Mamscrawny” isn’t just a joke—it’s a metaphor for the entire progressive playbook.
The Event That Backfired
The Men’s Day event was supposed to highlight strength, community, and unity. Instead, it became a live-action political cartoon starring Mamdani as the weakling who wants to run the biggest city in America. Sure, he managed a better showing with a soccer ball, but last time we checked, mayors aren’t judged on penalty kicks.
Final Thoughts
If Mamdani can’t lift the bar, how will he lift New York out of the mess it’s in? Adams and Cuomo mocked him, but the real punchline is this: Mamdani just gave the world a perfect visual of what happens when socialist policies meet reality. They collapse, ask for help, and then give credit to someone else.
