Comedian Michael Rapaport ripped New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani for eating at an expensive sushi restaurant, claiming his “working class” persona is fake.
“How’s a so-called ‘working class’ mayoral candidate like Zohran Mamdani eating at OMEN SUSHI tonight — one of the priciest joints in NYC,” Rapaport asked in a Tuesday X post.
“This clown lives in a rent-stabilized apartment in Queens but dines like a diplomat on a Qatar-funded per diem. Who’s paying for that toro, ‘Zoron the Moron,” Rapaport added. “You ain’t working class — you’re fraud class. #ZohranMamdani #ZoronTheMoron.”

Mamdani, the 34-year-old state assembly member from Queens who was born in Uganda, has called for freezing rent prices for millions, free public transit, government-owned grocery stores, and free universal childcare for children from ages 6 weeks to 5 years of age.
Another X post from “Stop Antisemitism” which Rapaport reposted, read, “Fun fact: 12 pieces of sushi are $50 at Omen… Mamdani is a typical ‘money for me, not for thee’ parasitic socialist.”

On Wednesday, Rapaport replied to a post by an X user who appeared to take issue with Rapaport’s criticism of Mamdani and shared what appeared to be part of a menu selection from Omen Sushi and wrote, “This offends you — but a mayoral candidate of NYC declaring there’s a genocide going on with 0.0 evidence, refusing to condemn ‘Globalize the Intifada,’ and stacking up dozens of false promises doesn’t offend you?!”
