Well, this is awkward. It turns out that in the wake of this month’s election, “Khanservative” JD Vance’s favorite lib is now advising New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on antitrust policy. The Washington Examiner reports:
Lina Khan, the Biden-era Federal Trade Commission chairwoman who questioned mergers and championed antitrust enforcement, has returned to the spotlight as part of New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. Khan said she wanted to “set a new model for Democratic governance” by helping Mamdani put together his administration.Mamdani is a self-described socialist, though President Donald Trump has called him a communist.
The wrinkle for Vance? Well, not only is his pet lib now advising a possible “communist.”
That “communist” also happens to be someone that his boss, Donald Trump, hates with a passion only rivaled by that he holds for people like James Comey or Liz Cheney.
Everyone noticed that Trump endorsed Cuomo ahead of the election this month. But what they might not have noticed is why:
For Trump, it wasn’t just politics. It was also about the fact that he still owns a ton of real estate in New York City– and its value might be about to fall off a cliff.
