NYC Shock Jock Calls Bowdoin College Grad Zohran Mamdani Everything But A Cockroach

The last time WABC-770AM’s Sid Rosenberg criticized New York City’s first Muslim mayor Rosenberg called him a human cockroach.

In his latest blast against the Bowdoin College grad socialist Rosenberg left out the cockroach reference but everything else was fair game.

After calling Mamdani a cockroach in March, Rosenberg apologized for comparing the New York city mayor to an insect. .

Rosenberg appeared on Fox News Saturday blasting the Bowdoin racist for hating Jews and Americans but this time he left out the cockroach.

And this time he’s not apologizing but in fact underscoring that he’s not taking back one word.

Rosenberg even later tweeted that he was shocked that none of the New York press has covered his outburst.

The full segment on FOX this morning where I went after @NYCMayor. It includes the back and forth with me and @GriffJenkins which eventually led to FOX apologizing twice FOR me after I left! By the way I like Griff a lot:) pic.twitter.com/hef9LMRCoT

“Not one local media outlet has said a word about it?” he said. “The local media here in New York continues to run cover for this creep. He won’t say anything either because he knows I’m right. Shameful.”

The only one apologizing for his latest rant was Fox News, which indicated it was sorry that it had invited Rosenberg on as its guest.

Here’s what Rosenberg said in his latest criticism of Mamdani:

“This guy is a terrorist. I’ll say it – that’s the bottom line. You don’t want to say it, I’ll say it. He’s a terrorist, he’s a jihadist. He hates the Jewish people. He hates America. He hates the Italian people. He hates the Irish people. He hates the German people. Unless you’re a Muslim, Mayor Mamdani has no use for you.

“He is a horrible person and maybe has perpetrated the worst American and Jewish hate in the history of this country. The two people stabbed in the city the other day? That blood is on his hands. The blood is on your hands Mayor Mamdani.“We’ve got to find a way to get this guy out of here. This guy is the worst thing to happen to New York politics, maybe in the history of our state. He’s a lowlife.”

Griff Jenkins, a host of Fox & Friends Weekend, tried to soften the blow, telling Rosenberg, “I think you’re a little over your skis in calling him a terrorist.”

“You don’t need to put on a bulletproof vest to kill people,” Rosenberg shot back. “His ideologies are in line with the terrorists. You don’t have to kill somebody to be a terrorist – you just have to share the ideology.”

Mamdani first began preaching Jewish hate in his four years as an undergrad at Bowdoin College, the Maine version of the Ice Leagues.

While at the elite school in Brunswick, Maine from 2010 to 2014, he founded Students for Justice in Palestine.

Mamdani also wrote pieces in the student newspaper complaining to be a victim of white racism even though he’s not black.

Whether Mamdani is a human cockroach or terrorist, Fox News issued back-to-back disclaimers following Rosenberg’s departure from the set.

The network’s anchors explicitly apologized twice on air for the guest’s inflammatory rhetoric.

Rosenberg later stated publicly that he stands by his assertions 100 percent and did not offer a personal retraction.

He wasn’t the only prominent Jew calling out Mamdani.

Jewish leaders and New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman blasted the Muslim mayor for fueling antisemitism and creating a climate that led to what the New York Post calls “a madman” to stab a Jewish New Yorker and another victim during a rally in Manhattan Sunday.

The “United Against Hate” rally took place around the corner from where Raul Morales screamed “Allahu Akbar” while allegedly stabbing a 50-year-old Jewish man, Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, outside his synagogue at Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street on Thursday.

Morales also stabbed Chok Sung, a 57-year-old Asian man in a separate attack near Central Park the same day.

The shocking attacks come as Mamdani’s rhetoric against Israel – particularly his bashing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – is inciting antisemitism across the city, according to Blakeman, who is Jewish.

“There is no question that Zohran Mamdani’s antisemitic rhetoric has fueled all of the antisemitism and the violence we now see in the city,” the GOP gubernatorial candidate said at the rally, according to the Post.
