Surprise: Jewish NYC Fire Chief Resigns Day After Mamdani Wins

I wonder why

From the article

Fire Commissioner Robert Tucker handed in his resignation Wednesday morning — just one day after Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor, The Post has learned.

Tucker, a proud Jewish philanthropist and businessman, informed Mayor Eric Adams that he would step down from the role he has held for just over 12 months on December 19, according to sources.

The FDNY boss was concerned about Mamdani’s anti-Israel hostility, with a source noting that Tucker’s support of the Jewish state “does not align with the new mayor.” (snip)

“I will leave this critical role on December 19, 2025. Between now and then, I will continue to lead the greatest fire department in the world and will ensure an orderly transition.”

What often happens with people like this is they wait and see if the new incoming mayor wants them to stay on the job, because they are good at it. And Tucker was very good at the job, settling things down after a tough time with the previous commissioner. Tucker knows Mamdani is an Israel and Jew hater

The Mayor-elect’s transition team pointed to comments he made during a Wednesday press conference when asked about Tucker’s exit.

“I am willing to consider anyone to work in my City Hall so long as they are committed to working for my administration and to delivering on an agenda to lower costs for New Yorkers in the most expensive city in the United States,” Mamdani told reporters.

Anyone who doesn’t want to fall in line with his radical agenda, including the radical Islam agenda, the Jew hatred, can leave. We can be sure that lots of members of the NYPD will leave; will we see what happens in the FDNY. There are reportedly about 200 employees who are Jewish. And surely many who are not on board with the hardcore Mamdani agenda.

Don’t forget

Nearly a million New Yorkers ready to flee NYC if Mamdani becomes mayor — possibly igniting largest exodus in history: poll

Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers are prepared to bolt from the Big Apple if socialist candidate Zohran Mamdani wins Tuesday’s mayoral race — potentially setting the stage for the largest population flight in US history, an alarming new poll warned early Monday.

Around 765,000 people of the 8.4 million residents who call New York City home are preparing to leave, with about 9% of New Yorkers sharing that they would “definitely” leave the city if Mamdani is elected the 111th mayor, the Daily Mail reported, citing a survey conducted by J.L. Partners.

Another 25% of New Yorkers — about 2.12 million — said they would “consider” packing up and leaving.

Among high earners, 7% of those making over $250,000 a year said they would definitely flee.

What do the numbers actually end up looking like? I guess we’ll see. Hopefully the liberals who are not Mamdani supporters will flee to other liberal areas, not Southern states like during COVID, bringing their leftist opinions with that.
