Zohran Mamdani Lets Adorable Kids Steal Spotlight At Child Care Presser
Comedian W.C. Fields supposedly said, "Never work with children or animals," but the mayor of New York City ignored the memo on Thursday.
Comedian W.C. Fields is credited with saying, "Never work with children or animals," but New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani ignored the memo on Thursday. And it was hilarious in an adorable way, of course. Mamdani held a press conference to discuss his plans for child care in the city and included a trio of preschool-age kids, who had their own mini podium to match the mayor`s. One of the kids also had a lot of exuberance that he demonstrated during the presser. As Mamdani told the press that the city is working "to welcome more family- and home-based child care providers into our programs," the little boy interjected, "A woo woo woo." Mamdani acknowledged the child`s enthusiasm and matched it. "That`s how I felt when we came up with this plan," he said. "Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city - and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference." Yes, there`s video.
Some cynics could argue that Mamdani brought the kids to the press meeting to keep journalists from asking tough questions, but that wasn`t the case. When one reporter asked the kids if they had a favorite animal, one little boy volunteered that his favorite is "a gold snake that can move." The reporter then pivoted to Mamdani, who was clearly ready for a "gotcha" question. Reporter: "Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you." Mamdani: "Yes. It`s also the golden snake."
