New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> took a bizarre plunge into an East Harlem public pool fully dressed in a business suit to kick off summer Saturday, but the spectacle was quickly overshadowed by a fiery clash with a top New York Republican.<\/p>\n

Video captured the mayor jumping into the Thomas Jefferson Pool fully clothed and swimming with children to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the city’s Works Progress Administration-era outdoor pools.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The event was intended to highlight expanded free swim programs and the historical legacy of the Olympic-sized facilities.<\/p>\n

However, the celebratory splash quickly turned political as Mamdani targeted New York GOP<\/a> gubernatorial candidate and Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, demanding an apology for recent comments Blakeman made about Democratic Socialists of America-backed congressional candidate Brad Lander.<\/p>\n

HUNDREDS OF RABBIS DEMAND MAMDANI APOLOGIZE FOR PUTTING ‘TARGET’ ON AMERICAN JEWS WITH AIPAC ‘MONSTER’ REMARKS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Following Lander’s NY-10 congressional primary victory over Dan Goldman, Blakeman said in a Newsmax interview<\/a> that Lander “would be a camp guard in a concentration camp if he could.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani defended Lander, calling him a “proud Jewish New Yorker” and describing Blakeman’s comments as “unacceptable and unconscionable.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

JEFFRIES WELCOMES DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS INTO THE FOLD AS CRITICS WARN PARTY IS REVEALING ‘EXACTLY WHO IT IS’<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Mamdani added he thought the comparison likening Lander to a “Nazi prison guard” was “disgusting”<\/a>, and argued it was indicative of a Republican Party fighting to “dehumanize anyone they disagree with.”<\/p>\n

Blakeman fired back at the mayor’s demands Saturday afternoon, saying the mayor lacks credibility.<\/p>\n

“This is coming from the same guy who wouldn\u2019t march in the Israel Day Parade<\/a>, called AIPAC members \u2018monsters,\u2019 and canceled the Puerto Rican Day Breakfast,” Blakeman told Fox News Digital. “Zohran Mamdani has no credibility. He is a bigot, an antisemite, and anti-American.”<\/p>\n

Mamdani did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n
