To cap off his first full week in office, Mamdani met with YouTube star and children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel, who came under fire for her support for Palestinian children, today to sing at an elementary school in the Lower East Side. It was also reported he had a private meeting with Steven Spielberg, the billionaire director of films like Munich and Schindler’s List, early last week. It’s unclear what they discussed. Mamdani has also spent the last few days defending Cea Weaver, a longtime tenant rights advocate he appointed to lead the Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants. Weaver faced criticism over old social media posts saying home ownership was “a weapon of white supremacy.”
