In a shocking display of deflection, NYC's First Deputy Mayor, Sheena Mamdani, has shifted the blame onto her staff after the NYPD denied her husband, First Gentleman Rama Duwaji, a police escort for his recent trip to the Middle East. The decision was made public after the NYPD revealed that the request was not approved due to "scheduling conflicts" and "security concerns". This move has sparked outrage and raised questions about the use of public resources for personal security, especially for individuals who do not hold elected office. As the city's second-in-command, Mamdani's decision to point fingers at her staff has only added to the controversy surrounding the incident.
