Mamdani gets mugged by reality — after ISIS bombers target NYC

It’s hard to get a more perfect metaphor for our times than a leftist braying on his bullhorn at a protest about how welcoming New York City is, then having a jihadist throw a bomb directly over his back. 

That’s what happened to progressive influencer Walter Masterson Saturday when he was telling far-right provocateur Jake Lang a thing or two about New York values — before getting interrupted by an act of Islamic terrorism. 

Irving Kristol famously said that “a neoconservative is a liberal who has been mugged by reality.” 

What’s a preachy left-winger who has nearly become a victim of a mass-casualty event? 

Masterson’s brush with potentially serious injury or death has caused him . . . to keeping inveighing against Jake Lang. 

During the French Revolution, they said “pas d’ennemis à gauche,” or “no enemies to the left.” 

Mamdani finally condemns ISIS-loving accused bomb throwers — but again stops short of calling out radical Islam
